If i found the big blue tub anywhere under $15 i'd buy about 10 of them! -R (23 years ago, 15-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

Except for a bit right after X-mas where everyone out here seemed low in everything, I've never not been able to find a blue tub at full price, if I wanted it. (...)

But they were at full price. Then Zellers and Wal-Mart both cleared (...) (23 years ago, 14-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

|
| Dear LEGO I just received my order of brown bricks. I've been dreaming of being able to order LEGO in that colour since I was a kid, and have had hopes for it once bulk ordering became available. Keep up the good work. Thanks -Henry (23 years ago, 14-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) You might be right. I was guessing based on S@H listing this set as being available in the US but showing no availability date or price. I thought that meant it was coming, not that it had gone. Amy (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

| 4229 was packaged in the vlue pack that was available at Kmart around christmas time. It contains 812 pieces and is not as good of a mix as the tubs are if you ask me.
