Who doesn’t like opening a crisp LEGO® polybag pack and hearing the pieces fall onto the table?!
LEGO® Polybags are some of our favorite sets to ever make their way into LEGO® inventory. Why? They are small, easy to store, easy to buy, and even easier to sell. The models are adorable and endearing — plus, they only take a moment of your time. For collectors, who want something nice for their desk setup or LEGO® investors, who want a lucrative quick flip, polybags are the immediate option!
Your E-commerce Options For LEGO® Polybags
Let’s break this down into your four best options: Amazon, eBay, BrickLink, and the LEGO® Store.
Amazon:
Personally, I find Amazon to be an incredible outlet with some bargain deals for LEGO® polybags. For starters, if you are a Prime Member, you can get your LEGO® polybags quickly. Plus, Amazon’s immense size allows you to get retro, retired, or rare-exclusive polybags. The buyer protection here is outstanding and you are pretty much guaranteed an exceptional buying experience!
eBay:
Unfortunately, eBay has really declined in the past 5 years. When COVID hit, we all thought the e-commerce platforms’ growth would boom, especially with individuals looking to supplement their income with side-hustling and selling LEGO®. However, they instituted many new rules that protected buyers a bit too much. This meant many sellers encountered a plethora of scam buyers, which drove down the quality of sellers and the quality of goods. As long as you see an eBay seller with great reviews and activity, this can be the best spot to buy used LEGO® polybags. Plus, you are in for discount prices due to the condition many of these polybags are sold in.
BrickLink:
The biggest issues with this platform for snagging polybags are the price and the shipping time. Here you have dedicated LEGO® fans flipping LEGO®. You will get quality parts and pieces — however, that comes at a premium. Also, since the shipping integration is nowhere near as smooth as Amazon or eBay, you could look at some longer shipping times (it is also due to international shipping, as BrickLink is global). Lastly, this platform will dent your bank account because it is so easy to buy from!
LEGO® Store:
I saved one of the best platforms for last. At the online LEGO® store, the price, the shipping, the customer service, and the genuine LEGO® you receive are the best of the best. You can never go wrong buying from here — plus, you can accumulate a ton of LEGO® Insider Points. The only downside is that you cannot snag retired or old polybags from this platform.
Vary Your Platforms For Buying LEGO® Polybags
If I told you there was one singular platform providing the best source of polybags, I wouldn’t be giving you the best answer. Each of these platforms is on a spectrum of price, quality, rareness, and ease of use. Use all four to get yourself some stellar polybags that you can safely store and build with the rest of your LEGO® collection.
If you want the best answer: I use eBay and Amazon for the best prices (LEGO® has gotten wicked expensive) and for finding rare/unique polybags (sometimes the individual selling doesn’t know they are sitting on toy brick gold). Happy building!
