In a year or so people will probably pay good money for the unopened 3033 tubs, though I doubt any of us can hold out long enough to wait for that. Is there any rumor (...)

(...) Discontinued? These tubs have only just made it to Australia within the last couple of months. Maybe they are using us as a dumping ground for old Lego. This may not be such a bad thing if they send us some good stuff! Martin (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

I asked LEGO netherlands why the blue tub (3033) isn't available overhere. In their reply they said set no. 3033 has been discontinued..... This might explain the recent TRU sale.... Duq (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

I love the bulk bricks, but can someone tell me why the 1x1 and 1x3 bricks are not available in bulk? A person has to fill in those spaces with SOMETHING, and paper machier isn't going to do the trick. Also, the color selection is strange - 1x2's (...) (24 years ago, 1-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

James, Thanks for the kinds words on the set. Your idea of Lego offering pre-made chess boards is a very good one.
