well of course shes organized shes a mom lol

So glad you enjoyed it! Her shoe organizers are so unique too

This baseplate was actually not Modulex, as it was scaled with normal studs. Some have suggested it may have come from the LEGO Model Shop.

I run a BL store professionally myself and I can say that looking at her numbers; she doesn't have any employees. It's probably her kids/husband/friends helping out from time to time.

@@thorakvideos2495 so she lied?

@@JoelChenFa No, what are you on about?

Yes I think that correct.

Yeah, the baseplate is used for when you need to build a top and bottom layer separately but still need to line it up.

I think it's also used on build walls in toy stores where there's a picture underneath that people build overtop of. It could explain why the corners are damaged if it was removed from the display.

She's the coolest 😎

Hey Ben, thanks so much for the comments. I've thought about making our containers more uniform for a while. A lot of the containers came from purchasing other BL stores and their set ups. I plan to get rid of the container store drawers first and replace them with more of the sliding shoe racks and more of the sterilite drawers. The bead boxes hold more lots per sq ft than any other type of storage we have. We have so many small lots they are irreplaceable for us. ~Ginny~

They are expensive, but a Lista or Vidmar industrial drawer unit with bins in the drawers seems like a very space efficient way of storing things.

​@@wildbricks1861@bensbrickstore How did you guys get started doing this business?

That was an awesome build.

She makes a good living, don't worry about that.

To be fair, this is more of a hobby turned into a tiny business. I wouldn't expect her to make more than 5$/h if she works mostly with USED Lego.

@@thorakvideos2495 you wouldn't bother pursuing the business for $5 per hour, think of the overheads she has, the running costs online, no way, so that's absolutely rubbish. She would make a good living

@@thedappercook Do you per chance run a professional BL store? Because I do... There is no cost for "running online" except 3% BL fee & PayPal fees. Taxes depend on where you live. She is obviously running the store from home so no rent or other bills. She was/is a stay at home mom, so she doesn't need to provide a big amount to the family finances. I hope for her that she makes a killing, but looking at her numbers, she isn't pulling more than 1000 to max 1500/month in profit. Sorting through USED lots of Lego is extremely time consuming. Once again, I wish her all the best, but the reality is that BL is oversaturated in sellers. Now, that is a good thing for most buyers but making a living from BL has become incredibly difficult.

@@thorakvideos2495 but you agree more than $5 right??

Lego also labels these unique pieces as "Illegal Lego" and some times "illegal techniques" depending on the context lol

You probably mean Tiago Catarino, he worked as a Lego Set designer.

@@darthjump I'm not sure, but the guy that I was watching definitely said he was currently a "Lego Master Builder".

It was so satisfying!

You are the bestest mom-in-law EVER!

We LOVE our local buyers. Looking forward to meeting you.

Great timing!!

I think so too!

Согласен

She sells both new and used parts!

***Shhh*** The how and where are secrets. ;-)

International Shipping is always more expensive depending on where you're at
