Well, yeah. I assumed that from the get-go.
Although I'll dispute your "lower than retail price-per-brick" estimate.
There are 87 bricks in the pack, and one pack cost me about 11USD.
That's about 0.126USD per brick. That's nowhere near the price for
basic/freestyle buckets and tubs, and still somewhat worse than my
long-time target figure of 10 cents per brick. It is better than the going
rate for the 'bulk' packs. And much better than the brick price for most
new sets.
