  <p>EDIT: Two more options:</p>
  
  <p>1) If you're in North America, go look up a second-hand baby/children's clothing store like Once Upon A Child. I went there today and found several sealed bags and boxes with Duplo blocks.

  <p>2) You can look at Mega Blocks - their large bricks don't interconnect with LEGO or Duplo, but depending on what you are trying to do that might not matter. You could always stack them sideways, or modify them, or even (yikes!) glue LEGO bricks on top to make a connection.</p>

Answers.Text: Thanks for trying to help. I also found a few options on Bricklink. But the best case appears to be similar to what you found, 20 pieces here and there. I will need a consistent reliable source of 50 - 100 of the exact same piece at a time. Regarding the boxed sets, there's just too many pieces I don't want in those sets. I'm fine with $.30 / piece, but not when I have to buy 100's of parts I don't want. There's gotta be a way to get the specific parts I want, even if it's from a Clone of some sort...

Answers.Body: <p>The official Lego site sells individual Duplo and Lego bricks, but they don't make it easy. For Lego it's not too hard, just Shop By Bricks, then Pick a Brick. For Duplo it's less obvious: hover over the Support tab, then click on Replacement parts, then Buy Bricks (for some reason they then ask how old you are; no Duplo to be sold to under 18's, like beer). You can then enter the Set number or Element/design number. I found the Element/design number by first searching the site for Duplo sets (Themes, Duplo), choosing a set and entering the Set number into the Set number bar, then getting the individual Design number for each part of the set I wanted. (Do they want us to buy the stuff or what?) I found the Design number for standard 4X2 Duplo bricks is 3011, for 2X2 it's 3437, for 3X2 it's 87084, and 6X2 is 2300. Individual Brick prices range from about £ .59 to £2.46 depending on design and colour. It took me over an hour to figure this out and buy some bricks. I hope this makes it a lot easier for anyone else. Happy Building!</p>

Answers.Text: Perfect! I used `6176` as the set number (an old discontinued set that had a lot of good bricks). No need to enter a part number, it will display all the parts in the set.
