I think that 1x4 and 2x4 increase will be good, I would prefer and tub without
instruction, no propose model. If you want to make a sphere, use your
imagination, that must not be that hard to do, unless you what it to roll for
at least 10 feet with a small push ;-)
If Lego have to design instruction, publish them, that will increase R&D thus
the need of a higher price, a tub without any paper inside will be able to sell
for less.

price of Lego in Canada seam to be smaller then US even after conversion,
possibly due to the fact that stores opening hour are less thus less salary to
pay.
I don't have exact figure but it should cost Lego about a small fraction of a
penny by stud to manufacture a basic part. If you bypass retail store they can
keep all the profits for themselves even if it means higher cost (inventory,
manipulation, phone operators,...). With only a tub + 1200 bricks this may
represent somthing like 5-6$ maybe 8$US max had inventory and other 10-12$.
they surely can sell it at 25$US and make a lot of money.
