If you pick some up, you may want to know you can find out a little about
what’s inside in advance. There’s a number stamped near the barcode on the
tub.
I think there are three possibilities. I’m not sure if all boxes with a
single number are exactly the same.
There’s a 3534(?) which has a bunch of 1x3x? (very tall) castle wall type
pieces.
There’s a 2814, which has a bunch of heads, and some door rails (pieces that
hold motors in place)
I’m not sure what’s in the other tub.
In any case, if you get more than one tub, you may want to make sure they
have different numbers.

On your advice (and Tim’s) I got a two strap and a three strap tub each:
This is the three strap:

I decided to lay them out by bag, thinking the bags contents may be the same
while the selection of bags was random. No such luck--the bags have similar
pieces, but not all the same.
The two strap is much “weirder” than the three strap pictured above. I guess
everyone’s been discussing these, but I just wanted to add my pictures to mix.
IT’s kind of fun to get the grab bag. JeffE once told me I was missing out by
not buying Pirate, Castle or Space, and he’s right--there’s a lot stuff in the
two strap which I don’t have, mainly because I don’t buy certain types of sets.
The three strap would be pieces I’d probably pick for myself: Bright regular
colours, basic slopes and shapes. But the two strap will be useful to get me
into colours I don’t normally use.
