[ ... snipped ... ]


     Don't get me wrong, I do have -a- budget here.  But I want to get the
most out of my money and I'm not going to start buying blue tubs for $50.

     Why did Lego pull the plug on the blue tub anyway?  Wasn't it • bringing
in enough sales from Eric alone?? =D

I'd like to hear some opinions (and as this is my only connection to Eric • H
since he NEVER REPLIES TO EMAILS...*cough* *cough* =P ) from you guys out • there.

Thanks,
Jake

Be patient.  New brick tubs and buckets are starting to appear on the market
at virtually the same price point as 3033 was.  4105 (500 pieces for $10 -
$8 at Target this week) can be found in most major US retailers that carry
LEGO (Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart for sure).

There are at least two other buckets of interest:

4104:  http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Query=4104
4106:  http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Query=4106  (includes purple and
orange)

There is also a new tub on the horizon:

4107:  http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Query=4107

There are some images of the parts breakdown of a couple of these on
BrickShelf:

Hello any and all! (Hoping this thread actually attracts the ever-famous Eric H.!) You're most likely wondering about that title! Well, let me tell my story, first...
