The buckets nowadays serve as a replacement for the universal building

"zany" time-cruiser-looking things.  A simple house-oriented bucket,
with bricks primarily in one color, and enouth roof pieces to cover the
house, so you could build a nice little structure using that bucket
alone, would be wonderful.  LEGO could still throw in propellers and
wings and wheels and the other assorted things that make the
freestyle sets "zany."

As a kid I never had Lego blocks (it was a long time ago). Instead, mum
used to bring me tall cylinders of 'American Bricks' (which now I find
seem to made by an Elgo company). These sets were primarily bricks,
doors, windows, & roof pieces. In fact, I cannot recall any pieces other
those. Seems like we have come full circle.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
