About Us
Welcome to The Bacta Tank
Home of New and Used Lego
We buy and sell both New and Used replacement parts, minifigures and accessories.
Starting Up
At the start of the Covid-19 Lockdown we opened up our online store, supplying new and used spare parts to collectors, hobbyists and builders. In the last 2 years we have grown leaps and bounds turning what started out as a bit of fun into a serious hobby and business.
Our stores
Initially we started selling on Bricklink.com. Having cleaned, sorted and uploaded over 30k individual used parts into our inventory we officially opened on the 1st April 2020. Steadily increasing sales and stock we opened up our 2nd online storefront on Brickowl. Both platforms share the same inventory and this is synced via a 3rd party service brovided by the guys at Brickfreedom
Ebay
Having sold previously on Ebay we have decided to open up some stock to be sold on ebays marketplace platform. This stock is seperate to our main inventory
The Process
New Lego
New Lego is sourced direct from store, either Lego direct or an official Lego partner. New Lego is parted out from sets and offered for sale as individual parts.
Used Lego
Used lego is bought from many sources and undergoes several processes before being offered for sale
Initial Sort - To remove all non-Lego, electronics and obvious damaged parts
Cleaning and inspection - Lego is washed and again any missed non-Lego or damaged parts are removed
2nd Sort - Lego is sorted into main part type categories. Bricks, Plates, Minifigures, Wheels etc
Final sort - Each category then gets the final sort which seperates each unique part
Upload - The parts are sorted by colour, counted and undergo a final inspection before being uploaded to our main inventory and placed for sale
