I agree totally about what's been said. The piece selection could have been
a little bit better on the AFOL side, but I am remembering what Brad Justice
said at Brickfest 2002 this year. He said that the 3033 tubs were
discontinued because they weren't being retailed in line with the ideals of
LEGO. The new tub was brought out to spur imagination in the mind of a child.
There is an idea book, but I'm sure with the piece selection, I think the
child can make any number of items.
Personally, I have mixed emotions about the tub. At $19.99, its a down-right
steal. Again, I don't really care too much about the piece selection but
at least now I don't really have any ground to stand on when I gripe about
the lack of 1x1 and 1x2 pieces in a variety of colors...they are all right
there.
I am willing to buy the larger pieces in bulk anyways.
Just my 2 cents on the deal.
