I'm reaching out for help on a giant project that I'm working on for my son's birthday. I've built a massive table and glued 32x32 baseplates (15 of them) to the legs of the table. My plan was to cover the baseplates in tiles for a nice finish...Ive got quite a few tiles I can pull from my very small bricklink inventory.
Now comes the tricky part. I need enough tiles to cover 15,360 holes on these baseplates. Purchasing that many tiles off of bricklink would cost me a small fortune. I've got enough out of my inventory for only about half at the moment. So for you longtime bricklink store operators or shoppers are there any sets out there that are overly loaded with tiles? Some of the bigger exclusives maybe? I haven't dealt much with parting out sets over the $100 range. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! I have about 3 weeks to finish his project.
I'm thinking of taking a road trip to the Lego store , 5 hours away to grab some off the wall. The gas would probally still be cheaper than this many tiles off of bricklink.
