(...) Ahhh, the magic Universal Set words have finally been spoken. I have my treasured 8062 in its own Plano 3720 tackle box for short trips.... I think the reason there has not been a Universal Set in a while is that it's a LOT of work to put (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

(...) Last I saw my local Wal-Mart still had a fair number of Mega Bloks tubs, and even more identical tubs manufactured by Ritvik but sold under the house brand name "Kid Connection". (And yes, they clearanced their 3033s months ago.) I thought (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Here, here!! A fairly equal selection of studded & studless would be great! Including a few of the bent studless ones. The panels have their uses, but not in a bulk tub, please!! ROSCO (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

(...) That's a shame. I consider the Blue Tub (3033) a staple set amongst AFOLs everywhere. Their content is just too essential to our building needs. Even if you only use 50% of the bricks, it's still worth the $20 price (comparing it to bulk (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm pretty sure they were intended to compete with MegaBlox which had been producing similar tubs at similarly cut-rate prices. Lego's 3033 (just about?) completely annihilated the competition. Now that there is no competition for that (I (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

(...) I agree with you there! I'd also like to see the studless beams complimented with 1/2 width "links". They are also very, very usefull. The more I get, the more usefull they seem to be.

Rounded ends allow things you could not do easily with straight (URL) (more detail) So I too would love to see a Technic Tub but would want rounded end studless beams. Just not (...)
