Hellego! A couple weeks ago, I made a post about my trip to
the Lego store at Sherway Gardens mall.
Well, after a long time taken
organizing,
searching names of certain
bricks and counting, I finally have the full list of bricks I got. Now
remember, all the bricks were in two small Pick A Brick cups.

By
reading this, you may have noticed that I got more smaller pieces that
bigger ones. I did this because they take up less space and that way, I
could get more pieces for my money. I also took more bricks that I don't
have or hardly have any of in my collection. There are some bricks that a picked that I
would like to talk about.
First
off, the 2x2 dark beige
tiles. I took a lot of this piece (43) because I didn't have any. When I
looked at MOCs on Flickr, I noticed that a lot of people use this
brick and it makes the model look so much better. I knew that it was a
must have brick. Since it was not too big of a piece, I took a lot of it
especially since I would need a lot to make a floor out of it.
I also took the same piece but in yellow since they had it. I took less though (18).
Next,
another brick I had almost none of was the 1x2 black
grille bricks. I took 17 of this brick and again, I saw in creations on
Flickr that some people used this brick for a lot of things. Example,
to add a design in a wall. It's just a really nice brick that I don't
have much of.
Now
I am really happy to have taken a good amount (15) of green stalks. I
had none and I have been wanting some so bad. I would see in battle/Star
Wars creations this piece used and I found it look great in a creation
that goes on outside. I also picked up some flowerheads to put on it.
I also took bricks that came in colours that I didn't have and were harder to get.
As
you probable noticed, I took a lot of the smaller pieces. I already had a
few, but not a lot. So I took huge amount, especially since they took
up practically no space in the Pick A Brick buckets.
I
picked up 7 of this control panel piece. I already had other types of
control panels but none like this one. It can be really useful for
creations so I took a few.
I also picked out 7 grey and black
mini antennas. I already had this piece but I need more of it since it's useful for vehicles, space ships, etc.
The last piece I would like to highlight is these crates. I only had a
couple and they can be great to add detail in or outside a building. So I
picked up 7.
At
the end, when I was done filling up my two buckets, I was amazed by how
many bricks I was able to put in. I took two small buckets instead of
one large one because two small, one top of another, comes out as the same height
as the large. Also, I noticed at the bottom of the large bucket, the
sides start to go inwards so you have less space to put pieces, so it
was just better to take two. Plus, since I had two, it meant I had two
buckets to keep and it can help me organize my pieces.
I
was also happy to have two because since I don't have a Lego store
where I live, it's impossible for me to have any without going far away.
I would have to say that this Lego store is probably the closest and
it's about an 8h drive from my house.
So those are all the bricks I got. You can always click the pictures to enlarge them and see the pieces layed out better. I
wanted to make a post to show you guys the bricks I picked out and
explain why. Feel free to comment your thoughts and happy building!
