Creator Buckets - Purple & Orange —Bryan Kinkel

Can anyone shed any light on the new Creator buckets pictured in Boram Lee's folder? (URL) of the buckets pictured, 7825, has a decent selection of orange and purple bricks. (URL) ideas when we can expect to see these on the shelves? I don't see any (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.general)

Creator Buckets - Purple & Orange —Bryan Kinkel

Since my original post about the new Creator buckets, I have received the following note from Lee Boram, which he asked me to pass along to LUGNET. -- Bryan ----- I'm afraid I don't have a helpful answer to your original question - the buckets are (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.general)

Re: Creator Buckets - Purple & Orange —Arne Lykke Nielsen

(...) I bought the 7825 in Copenhagen last week, although is was numbered 4179 (but the bricks inside is exactly the same as depicted on the 7825 picture). A very good selection of bricks, but the price (appx. $45) is very high - as are all other (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-02, to lugnet.general)

Re: Creator Buckets - Purple & Orange —Arne Lykke Nielsen

(...) I just noticed, that the partsref 3004 1x2 bricks was in 2 different versions in this box: all blue and yellow 1x2's was with a hollow inner pin, while all other colors had the usual solid pin. Are this TLC trying to save some plastic? A few (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-02, to lugnet.general)

Re: Creator Buckets - Purple & Orange —Larry Pieniazek

(...) A few micrograms per brick adds up, so that would be my guess. The solid pin examples are probably molds that are being worked to their end of life (the savings is not enough to justify ditching a perfectly good mold, I suspect, but enough to (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-02, to lugnet.general)

Re: Creator Buckets - Purple & Orange —Lindsay Frederick Braun

(...) I'm in agreement there. I'd bet the new mold is being used for the new parts. But I've had 1xn bricks in both "styles" appear in the same set before; I had merely assumed that they were depleting old stock that was already molded. But maybe it (...)

Re: Creator Buckets - Purple & Orange —Fredrik Glöckner

Re: Creator Buckets - Purple & Orange —Larry Pieniazek

(...) 4179 came with a "free" Legoland ticket... factor that out, (TANSTAAFL(1)). 4105 is about the same piece count and cost significantly less. 1 - do you know what that expands to? For bonus points, can you name the book and author? :-) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.general)
