Good morning everyone

For our wedding we are having a bit of a Lego theme. As party favours for our
guests we were considering setting up a station where our guests can create their
own lego minifig.

I wanted to buy a bulk variety of heads, hats, hair, torso and legs and people
can create their own.

Can anyone help on how I can purchase or point me on the right direction?

Thank you in advance?

Graeme

Do you have any unofficial LEGO-selling stores in your area? The city I live
in has a store that sells used bulk LEGO and you can also build your own minifigs,
they also sell the minifig parts individually and they have thousands and thousands
of them... If you have anything like this I'd suggest you stop by as that
would probably be your best bet to find a large variety and the quantity you
need in one purchase... otherwise you may be placing orders from a dozen or so
different Bricklink stores and paying shipping on all those orders, not saying
you couldn't find a great selection or the quantities you want on Bricklink
but its not going to be super easy. Those are just my thoughts, others may have
better suggestions.

Thank you! yes I do believe we have a resale place nearby which we will check
out too. Just thought I'd also consult the experts on Bricklink!!

You are right, it can be hard to get multiple varieties and adding the shipping
into things so that might be the way to go!!

Thank you!

Graeme

It looks like this Bricklink store has a good selection regarding minifig parts
and accessories, may be worth checking them out. (I'll be honest, I only
looked at the larger sellers in the Queensland region of Australia, not sure
if that's necessary but...)

What a fun idea! We’ve been thinking about a Lego table for the children at my
son’s wedding next year.
I hope you find the parts you need.

Congratulations!🥂🍾

Thanks Karen!

I do too! LOL

We have a wedding themed wedding cake and we have already got our minifig cake
toppers but I also proposed with a ring box made from lego which I put together
so just want to continue that theme!

Bulk minfigure lots would be best sourced on other platforms designed for bulk.
On BL you pay a premium because they are checked for quality and are also identified
parts. Sometimes sellers list bulk but they can be a bit tricky to find.

I'd say check those other bulk and auction sites and even sites like etsy.
The alternative is your post may have been seen by someone with bulk minifig
parts and may setup a listing for you but I would say that would be fairly rare.

Seems like this would be a pretty fun idea, I would have liked this to go along
with my wife's idea of a little candy station.

You might be better off not buying minifigure parts, but instead buy complete
minifigures and part them out yourself. Find a store that does lots of City or
similar style generic figures that tend to be cheap.
