The price of a part is often (but not always) cheaper from LEGO's PaB website than from any third-party store. Also, PaB shipping is free if the order is at least $35, whereas shipping costs can really add up when buying from third-party stores. LEGO has owned BL for almost half a decade. Why is LEGO's PaB website not included among the stores on BL? (I tried to search for this suggestion in the Forum but didn't find anything) since bricklink is specifically for 3rd party sellers, not lego themselves. if lego came over to bricklink and started ramping up then most stores on bricklink would have to close down as they cant compete with lego if they are on the same site which would then just end up making bricklink a reskinned PAB. cool pizza flag Why would LEGO care whether any third-party stores (i.e. competitors of LEGO's PaB website) close down? Also, third-party stores would still be indispensable, because there are so many parts that are unavailable from the PaB website.
