| To make a long story short, I saw a very cute build for something my SO would
love on Etsy. But I discovered it long after it sold out and restocks will be
minimal, if at all. I sat down with this site, and a picture of the build and
actually managed to find every single part number.
What is the best way to try and purchase all of these parts though? I can check
one store at a time to see if they have more than just a single piece, but that's
like finding a needle in a haystack. Most of the set is random assortments of
hodgepodge minifigs. I'm really out of my depth here and could use some guidance
on affordably tracking these pieces down. If not, it looks like I'll have
to spend $5 in shipping per part, and $125 just for the minifig parts (hair,
head, torso, legs, accessory) seems excessive to say the least.

Welcome to BL.
Your best and easiest way is to create a "Wanted List". In the upper right,
click the Heart, then create a list. From there, you can then "buy" your list
and it will search the seller for parts to build your order.

Thanks! I didn't know it had that function. That'll make shopping through
stores so much more efficient. Now I just need to copy all the item numbers from
excel to the site hah.

Maybe find the “set” on here, maybe someone knows about it?
Share a picture and there might be someone that can help you.
Good luck

I would recommend using the buy all from your wanted list rather than the easy
buy option the buy all is actually more efficient as I have previously used the
easy buy and even though some parts I added were available from one of the sellers
showing it sourced them from another seller, so now I only use the buy all or
go to a store and search using the wanted list tab in their items.

+1. "Buy All" is also more flexible, you can decide, e.g., to only shop domestic
stores.
