I have always wanted to build a nice LEGO skyscraper for the city skyline but based on the number of bricks I would need, a trip to the bank to obtain a loan might be in order!
Thanks!

LEGO skyscrapers do use a lot of bricks. With the variety of elements and colors available you can achieve some great custom effects though. While there are some specific channels that avid builders can use to cut their cost, if you live near one of the company owned LEGO Brand Retail stores and get lucky on their parts selection on a given visit, you can obtain a lot of necessary parts for less than you might think. Right now the store near my home has a couple of different window elements and some basic bricks for walls of the type that I use in large quantities available for bulk purchase on their so-called "Pick-a-Brick Wall". In my own case, it doesn't hurt that I actually work for LEGO on the side.
