Following up on the Bell of Lost Souls review of MFZ, a lego mech wargame, I decided to follow their lead and see about buying individual bricks. At their suggestion, I decided to check out BrickLink, which essentially allows people to buy individual bricks similar to a Bitz site, only from multiple sellers.
