| On Tuesday the 18th I extended a simple invitation for people to Visit NILTC’s next show: (URL) was responded to by Larry Pieniazek, The curator for lugnet.trains thus: (URL) copy came from the library who is very excited about this show. I would (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.org.us.clb, lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.terms) !

| Geez, tell him to stack them up and sell them/give them to other AFOLs! What a waste of useful tubs (and landfill mass increase). (...) -- Tom Stangl *(URL) Visual FAQ home *(URL) Visual FAQ Home (21 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| Well, they're selling them for $6.95! A bit much, I think. Especially when I've found old Duplo tubs *with bricks* at a CVS or 2 for less than $10 (wish I had found a ton more). (...) -- Tom Stangl *(URL) Visual FAQ home *(URL) Visual FAQ Home (21 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| Agreed. I MUCH prefer the older tub. But I use the new tubs for static storage, and my 200 or so old tubs for when I need to move something. But I need MORE tubs ;-) (...) -- Tom Stangl *(URL) Visual FAQ home *(URL) Visual FAQ Home (21 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Too bad they aren't available via Shop At Home, unless I've missed seeing them there? I've never been to an official company store or LLCA, so I guess I've never been exposed to these. Hey, now I don't feel like it was such a silly idea after (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) This already exists - there's a yellow tub that is sold empty at LEGO stores and I believe at LLCA too. IIRC they were lampooned on LUGNET ("$X.XX for an empty tub? What are they, nuts?"). Personally I like the big tubs with the studs, just (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) I think putting them all in consistent packaging (not tubs - see below for more) is a great idea. Now... getting stores to actually display them all together, so the effect (of similar packaging) can pay off, is another story. It amazes me to (...)

| (...) I'd rather pay less for the package and have more of my money go to the brick. The new tub with the studs is not really a very good tub compared to the old one with the flat lid... it takes up a lot more space and doesn't travel nearly as (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| {snip} I called the number for Lego Canada and was told by a recording that they would be closed Oct.11 for Thanksgiving, and resume regular business hours afterwards. Not sure if I called the wrong number, or called after hours or what happened. (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)
