Parts Overview





A couple notes about this:

The total price is if you're able to get ALL the parts at the absolute lowest price available. The price DOES NOT include the shipping costs that sellers charge.

Depending on who has what bricks it could cost you as much as $240 for everything across multiple sellers. This set has 809 bricks so the price-to-part ratio isn't good, but for specialized MOCs it never is. Especially for this model with the many dark blue tiles.





Getting Parts Through Me

If you'd like to get the parts and everything yourself those instructions are in the next section, but if you'd rather not deal with all that I can do that for you and ship you everything together once it's all said and done. Here's the gist of how that would work:

Deposit $250 to paypal.me/teammoore (add $10 if you want the micro too) I'll purchase the bricks in the most cost-effective way possible using that money (it will take 2-4 weeks to collect all the parts) I'll give you a final orders/cost list when it's all done. I'll refund whatever's left to you minus $15 for my time and the cost of shipping you your pile of bricks! SPECIAL NOTE FOR PLANET LABS PEOPLE: Talk to your peers -- if multiple people want to have/build this I'll certainly be able to get the parts cheaper overall because I can buy bulk parts and pay shipping ONCE for parts for multiple models.





Getting Parts Yourself

These instructions pertain to BRICKLINK (sorry I don't use Brick Owl or other sites.)





To get started you'll need to download the io parts file





New Wanted List. With that file, head to Bricklink.com , create an account and then create a





Once created, view the wanted list and you'll see an Upload button. Choose that and browse to where you saved the parts file, then click Verify.





At the time of my writing this, I tested the file and it uploaded perfectly.





With that parts list set up, all that's left is to either choose Buy All or gradually pull them in as you like.





IMPORTANT NOTE!! One of the parts, is not available as shown. Most LEGO key chains have this tile as part of the key chain. You'll need to find one of those to get this part. I suggest you find an unlicensed minifig key chain (such as One of the parts, 48995pb02 as shown. Most LEGO key chains have this tile as part of the key chain. You'll need to find one of those to get this part. I suggest you find an unlicensed minifig key chain (such as THIS ONE because the included tile doesn't have any extra writing on it. Star Wars minifig key chains, for example, have trademark text written on the bottom of them and that doesn't look as nice.)





IMPORTANT NOTE 2!! At the time of this writing the At the time of this writing the 4x4 corner tiles don't come in BLACK. I chose the dark blue because it give the best illusion of the larger lens. You may want to use white tiles instead, that's up to you but based on the actual model, the width of the lens more closely resembles what I've designed. Of course, I'll be on the lookout for when this part comes in black because ultimately that would look THE best.
