I really strongly disagree. Over 300 of the 1000 pieces are 1x1 bricks! I
believe that is less than useful for people who build Big Stuff (1x4's! we
need 1x4's!) and disappointing for kids too.
If what you need is 1x4's (22 in 9 colors out of the 1000) or 1x6's (8 in 4
colors out of the 1000) or 2x4's (24 in 10 colors out of the 1000) you are
probably better off buying the expensive bulk packs than you are buying
4107's. It even makes it hard for Bricklink sellers to provide decent
amounts of useful sizes.

Plus, most of the purchasers of 4107 are normal families who will see it (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Uh, no, actually, my typo. But the $19.97 4107 is still available at Toys R Us. I got like six when they first went on sale, but AFAIK the sale is still on. But my complaint is really that I want to be able to drive to it and buy it after work (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.general)
