where is the best place to get a bucket of Lego bricks with perhaps some wheels, bases etc in the set?

Everywhere I look seem to have looked only have sets that you make a vehicle which is not what I want.

Happy to spend £10-20.

The Lego shops do pick and mix tubs or starter packs or check out second hand shops; there's one near me that sells big packs of Lego for great prices.

HOPE or NES Arnold online. They are the same company now, I think.

I don't think there are any Lego shops near us; I've certainly not noticed any.

They arel too expensive Stargirl.

Lego isn't a cheap toy.

What about eBay preloved? It makes no difference as Lego retains it's vibrant colour even when old and extensively used (that's why it's expensive).

Asda had big buckets for £25 recently.

Ebay bidding for second-hand big mixed batches is by far the best value for money if you don't want a specific set.

If buying used Lego, it can go through the top shelf of the dishwasher in a mesh bra bag.
