Our biggest concern was to see how many 2x4 blocks we could easily get in each
cup.

This results in 136-2x4, 1-2x2, 21-1x4, 18-1x2 plus room for a few other little
items like tiles. This design is easy to build in the store.
Your pattern looks like it will hold a little more, but without a picture I have
a hard time figuring it out.
Always interested in trying others ideas!

| I recently made a trip to the pick-a-brick at the Orlando LEGO Imagination Center and spent time stacking bricks to fit inside the large cup. After I returned home and counted my booty (1071.67 cubic bricks) I decided to investigate what the (...) (20 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping) !
