I also get most of my LEGO pieces from sets that I've purchased in multiples from retail stores. However, that's going to stop because of the colour change.
I'll go to eBay for specific sets that aren't available anymore, and Bricklink for specific parts. The closest Pick-a-brick is more than 2 hours away, so I don't rely on that too much. I managed to bulk up on my grey bricks by ordering a bunch of the classic grey assorted bulk packs, but I've got enough for now (and no money).
In the future, I forsee using Bricklink exclusively.

Where do you get the bulk of your bricks?

Most of my bricks come from Lego SAH, I order 5-20 bulk brick packs at a time. That's between 250 and 1000 of the same kind of bricks. Good thing I can use all of them. And they still come in old colors!

You know you're a good person when you see megablocks and have to do things you would rather not.

I would have to say all of the above. My mom sometimes goes to Savers to buy stuff for ebay (she is one of THOSE ebayers) and she will happen upon bags of legos and buy them and send them my way. The amazing stuff in those bags. I buy alot some would say (not enough I say) and ask for them and go to ebay and bid amd then go and buy more and so forth and so on.
Dont look so glum chum when you look at your bricks. I used to have a small amount and no funds so my loyalty wained in the best years and now I get to shop around on ebay. Just hang in and do what you can. Christmas and Bdays are great to ask for those and when people say but what if you have it already you come up with some great reply like "but it it is one you got me it is more special" or "The more legos I have the more my imagination might grow or my education may advance" I will shut up now.
