Is there a benefit to buying a brick instead of a can?

Yes. You can get the 4 pack and it stores very easily. It takes up less space in the cabinet in brick form. 4 pack of bricks last me a few months so It's convenient to store it easily.

I believe you can, I would make sure to get proper screws and anchors for brick work.

A can of air works a lot easier. Just make sure to take it outside when you clean it or else dust will get everywhere.

You can use the diamond blade but it's more likely to cut the brick, a softer blade (composite) might be better.

I would say yes. I've never tried bricks but this drill has some guts. I'm an auto mechanic and I've never had to use a corded drill to finish a job I started with this drill. Very happy with it.

keep air out, even a little can turn it into a brick. It is recommended to put stones or other objects into the container to displace the air inside the container.

I tried the bag mixes but had best results with bulk sand and portland cement. You can buy a cubic yard of sand from garden center (assuming you have a way to transport) for around $15 and if you have any left over it can be used for other purposes. I mixed 4 parts sand to 1 part cement and added a small pinch of fiberglass fibers (search ebay "concrete fiber" - 2oz bag is plenty) for strength and the bricks turned out much better and are holding up well. Four gallons sand/1 gallon cement mix well in a wheelbarrow; add water until thoroughly mixed and workable. BTW, this is the same mix the curb guys use. Total cost should be under $50 unless you are doing a large project. Hope this helps. I tried the bag mixes but had best results with bulk sand and portland cement.

I think you've answered your own question - somewhat. Less expensive: cheap materials, and won't be as sturdy/durable. Just my take.

You can't up a brick. You can pick up dust, wood shavings and small trash in a hard to reach corner though. Based on a history of buying totally unsatisfactory hand held portable vac, this is the best I have had. If you already use DeWalt 18 volts tools and have a few of their batteries, I would recommend one of these.

I didn't use the Will Power for this purpose. My guess would be equivalent; however, the particle size is likely to be smaller with the Will Power and the price would be higher.

Yes you can we build both ways. it makes more sense to me to do it a block at a time, some things I've made following their instructions it was easier to build it flat and pick it up though

Nope, my 8yr has built a set (7 at the time with a littile help) and his older brother (12 at the time) can build it on his won. Just lots of 1x1 squares and other smaller bricks. This was on the Orgional set. This will most likely be under the tree this year for them.

Not sure what is the difference. You can look at the numbers of blocks, the quality, color, wood. Some are more expensive, some are cheaper. Read people comments on the products. It gives some ideas.

With Amazon's typical fast shipping times and the time of year, there should be no issues of spoilage. I have sent bricks from Oregon to New England with good results. Guy

I'd suggest you buy the one with coins already. It might be more expensive but saves time.

As this was my first order of the bricks, unable to offer comparison. I chose for less overt color, not noting weight (free shipping with prime). The quality seems well made and presume the injected molding process would be the same except for coloring? In short, satisfied byt can't give you an answer

Yes, it helps if you make the blocks as rectangular as possible with clean sides. We have built structures many levels high, but you have to be careful.
