    3033 on the shelf again? —Vian Chan Foo
   Hi Everyone, I am new to Lugnet. I have heard so much about the 3033s, and about AFOL complaining about it being discontinued. I have seen the blue tubs all over Asia (now in stock, and a lot of them). Is this tub only available in Asia? I bought a (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: 3033 on the shelf again? —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) So you're saying there's a blue tub widely available in Asia, and it carries the set number 3033 but it has a different inventory? That's really weird. Lego has released a number of new and different basic brick assortments lately here in the (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

     (...) <snip> (...) There is definitely two types of 3033s. I have one American version wich has the same contents as shown at Peeron. I also have 2 Australian 3033s an they do indeed have more 1x4s and less 1x2s. But I agree - it's weird, that they (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: 3033 on the shelf again? —Ross Crawford
     (...) Hmmmm interesting. There's a query about this here (URL) and my inventory (in the reply)matches the peeron inventory. There's a dearth of 3033s available in Aus right now, has anyone in aus seen one with different brick counts? ROSCO (added (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.loc.au)

     (...) I bought 120 tubs last week and am unpacking them now. Only have 24 here, the rest to be picked up weekend after next from layby. I started documenting the batch codes (4 digits, printed in black on side of tub) and the contents within. Only (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.loc.au)

      (...) As someone who only buys LEGO for personal use (except for the occassional set to get someone else hooked...), I am in awe of such quantities. <snip> (...) Have they all had 1200 pieces? Cheers Richie (21 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.loc.au)

       (...) Yeah - I thought my 10 was a lot.... ROSCO (21 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.loc.au)
     
          Re: 3033 on the shelf again? —Kecia Hansen
      (...) Me too... (...) I think I have to correct my self from my previous post. I have 1 "normal" tub (numbered 0522) and one "super" tub (numbered 2122). I have been a bit uncertain about this, because the contents for the tubs were mixed up during (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-03, to lugnet.loc.au)
    
         3033 Results (was Re: 3033 on the shelf again?) —Brad Linsley
     (...) Final purchase count came in at 141 tubs (my store needed some), and I documented the last 125 (after noticing the bulk 1x4 bags). It was pretty obvious after the first 40 or so, but I finished the lot out for completeness. Results, Bulk 1x2s (...) (21 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.loc.au)

   (...) Boxes labeled 3033 and 1200 pieces where available before Christmas in Germany, so I bought one as a Christmas present for my nephews. I got the suspicion that there were way too many white 1x4, but I didn't count them. Jürgen (21 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.lego.direct)
