They are trying to charge MORE for LESS take for example the blue tub, $20 for 1200 bricks (the 3033) well, its gone - what replaced it? Another blue tub with just over 600 parts (parts, not bricks) for the SAME $20?!?! HUH? And why would I want to pay $10 for some set with appx. 60 parts? I think they need to get back to basics, forget Jack Stone (most everyone has but Lego), Harry Potter (its scary this could be their new cash cow), Bob the builder (going after kids that are to young), Bellville and Scala (unless they have more bricks in them and less dolls - they are both very available at Legoland), and Dinosaurs (what are we supposed to do with them?), and toss the new racers (what are those things anyways, get back to RACE, with the pitstops, etc.) And please toss Bionicle, this thing is very non-lego! Bring back Paradisa, Town (just plain town - even town jr would do), Pirates (yes, I have seen the re-release of old sets, but NEW sets would be good). And more GAS STATIONS, CARS, PLANES and BOATS! I do not care what sets they bring back as long as it has BRICKS, and is mostly BRICKS! Not cardboard, BRICKS! Bring back the 3033, bring back the bricks. Stop wasting tons of money making new molds for new parts, you have the molds you need for what we want - BRICKS - got it? Tom

Granted, the list price was $20 and a tub beats the heck out (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
