They just renamed them Creator Sets.

I think this has always been true. What would you build with just a few small
Space, Castle and Pirates sets? How do you combine two grey wing plates, a
horse, a cannon and a palm tree (all of which are pieces which are more-or-less
specific to those themes)? It's just that you've had a lot longer to build up
your Castle collection or your Pirate collection than you've had to build up
your LOM or Harry Potter collection.

I think we all dream of Theme Tubs like this!

There was a Star Wars Pod Racer bucket http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7159 which
is definitely real (I bought one myself).
