We have now "inventoried" three sets of these boxes and for the major part they
are the same. Some contain other elements though.
For instance, the two I have been digging in has plenty of both rats and frogs
while a third one, dug by Tore Eriksson, does not have neither frogs or rats but
owls.
Of the two boxes I've been digging in only one had 1 x 16 bricks (and it _had_
close to 100 of them :) ).
At least five stores spread out over Sweden has been reported to carry these
boxes so it's likely they will appear in other contries as well. Hope it
restocks with a different set of parts later, a hope that is not shared by my SO
- she found it rather boring to watch two grown (?) men digging in a cardboard
box for about an hour :)
According to a salesperson in one of the Swedish stores (loosly translated):
"All stores have access to the boxes, they (TLC) tests if this is a good way to
sell basic parts since a lot of people/customers ask for that."
He also says: "There are about 50 different bricks and colors."
I'm doing my part to show TLC that this is a good way to sell parts in Sweden :)
