Yes, that would be nice. But I think universal sets fill a different purpose
than bulk tubs - they tend to have a large mix of parts with only a few of each
part. I would also like to see bulk tubs with a smaller range of parts, and
more of each. Like comparing (say) the 4213 with the 3033. I think both types
have their uses, and would be enjoyed by kids as well as AFOLs
