From what I understand the blue tub only shipped to stores during the
spring,  most stores have received their final stock of the 3033's by now.
So you shouldn't have any trouble finding them in stores, but come fall most
stores will probably be sold out and will not be getting more.

"This set [3033] was designed for availabilty in the American market.  It • was
launched in 1998 and, had it been available have been discontinued this
year.  It has been available thoughout the Americas and was not launched • in
Europe.  Production for this item stops at the end of this month (May
2001)."
Just  one min this set 3033 was and still is available in Australia, you
know the country which is not part of the USA but that you can still get • it
in. This set is only in k-mart stores? don't know why ? So the bloke who
wrote back to Eric FROM lego like most people who work at lego does not • know
about there  product and never pasted geography in school. So just to • reinterate
yes the 3033 tub is available out the USA in Oz and that Oz is and never
will be apart of USA and that only one shop sell it,

Q. so what can you do if you want this set ?
A, come talk to the boys and girls at loc.au and ask nicely if WE can get
them for you since the British pound is a lot stronger then the ozzy lira
you shouldn't have to go with out eating to support your lego habit.



I look forward to everyone's comments on Lego's decision to discontinue • the set.
