| Hello, Marketplace noob here. Wondering what is the best way to find large quantities
of specific filler parts (ie 2x4 bricks)? I've noticed a few stores have
them listed when I peruse their selection, while I'm looking for something
else. I can't seem to filter my search properly to show just stores/parts
with filler or bulk.

| If you don't care about the color you can search for 3001 which is the 2x4
brick. Don't choose a color. It will list the cheapest ones of any color.
I requested only stores with at least 300 bricks. There are two Canadian sellers
selling yellow 2x4 bricks for really cheap. 400 for .07 and 420 for .08. That's
going to be cheaper than going to the lego store.

Thanks! So simple. I really over thought this one! Figured there was a special
code for filler/bulk type bricks.

| You could also search for filler.
I've bought from this seller before.

Filler is only one term. I actually rarely use it. I tend to call them Playwear.
And though I don't usually have 300+ Playwear 3001s in any ONE colour ...I
often have cheap 3001 and 3001old that total well over 500
But my store is closed. If the OP had been local, I'd have suggested just
picking them up for free, but Im not shipping anywhere anymore ...but willing
to give locals a chance at some free stuff

That's good to know as well. For my filling purposes at least, I don't
need to have it one color, just a lot of them.
The 4 stores I found use the filler search term are along the lines of what I
needed. Just wondered if there were more stores or a different way of searching,
as I had seen one store list the bricks as filler (while shopping in that store),
yet they weren't in that list of stores when searching by the keyword filler.

Thanks for reply. That's the store where I had seen the filler description.
I was searching by the keyword filler, however, it only returned about 4 stores
and didn't include the one you mentioned. That's why I was curious. Probably
just me not looking or entering the info in the right spot.

Use an advanced 'in store' search. Enter your country, the part, and
maybe 50 or whatever minimum you'll consider. Then order by price.

Thanks, that seems to be the best way.
