Actually, I think I agree with Alan on this one. There are those who
wanted bulk packs of 1x1 and 1x2 bricks from Shop @ Home. You can get
the 1x4, 1x6, and 1x8 from there. This is a good way to stock up with

tubs.
There are those of us, who probably could have used another 30 or 40 tubs
to make things.
