Hi, all-
With all of this talk about buckets and bucket
cancelling, I'd like to advance the idea that a
SW "bucket" would have been like the "Treasure
Raiders" set (with the mummy case bonus) or,
referring to the subject: line, like 5956 in the "new"
Adventurers set.
I haven't seen anyone mention it, but it seems
obvious that the rigid airship (it's not a blimp--
it's got defined ribbing) gasbag is actually a
*bucket*--the bottom of the standing bucket
(the fins) is the "lid" that is unscrewed to extract
the pieces (notice the lip about 20% from the tail
that screams "lid"). This does make me wonder
if the stickers will be optional or already applied,
and if it will be in a cardboard backer *or* if
it will simply be a grey bomb on the shelf. ;)
So...is this a "bucket" or is this not a "bucket,"
in name or in fact? Might the SW "bucket" have
been in this style?
-LFB.
