How do they make these when there aren't sets? Do they just kitbash it all together from other sets? I ask, because finding that many of the exact colour from several kits would be really expensive. Or can you just order what you want from Lego and go from there?
Sorry, stupid question.
I made a MOC with about 5k pieces by designing it in Stud.io using the marketplace feature to make sure I didn’t pick any pieces too rare/expensive.
Once designed, I used BrickLink to efficiently buy the pieces from ~20 storefronts in US+Europe.
The article hinted at one of the difficulties which is you can end up choosing rare colors and then it’s hard to get the parts.
maybe bricklink.com, which used to be a 3rd party site that LEGO bought and now maintains.
