   (...) get any usable amounts of the single parts. And that would give you more 2 x 2 bricks then you'll need in a lifetime (OK, so that is obviously not true). Thanks for the link Martin! (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.se)
   
        Re: 4405 Blue tub (1305 pieces) now available from S@H (UK) —Eric Harshbarger
      I was thinking the same thing. 13 white cones? What the? And so many singletom pieces (including 1x1 aqua bricks, and 3x3 corner slope blue). Truly bizarre... it almost looks like a dumping ground for leftover pieces. I could see myself buying a (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.se)

     (...) Ya know, I've wondered that myself. You don't suppose that TLC overruns parts to cover themselves in case of disasters at sea ? (remembers the story about the lost shipping container of parts bound for Enfield, flippers, etc). Might be an (...)

     (...) Fascinating theory. I'll go one further (while we're speculating).. watch the inventory! It may change. If this truly is a way to get rid of surplus, I could see the "extra" pieces changing. They're not printed on the bin unlike the first 400 (...)

     (...) On a trip into Germany I found the 4405 bin. It was new to me, and once opened I was surprised by the remarkable piece selection of the 305 extra's. So now I found the above discussion, I 'd like to add two observations/speculations: - The (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.se)

   (...) Perhaps it is true! I have to ask, doubtless it has been asked before but what's with the huge number of 2x2 bricks ? Duplo always had way too many of these and looking thru the parts inventory for the tubs i see it still (2x2's hugely (...)

        Re: 4405 Blue tub (1305 pieces) now available from S@H (UK) —Thomas Stangl
   I'd rather have "too many" 2x2s than too many 1x1s. 2x2s are very useful (and easier to sell in the colors you don't need). The ton of grey 2x2s is a Castle lovers dream, I'm sure (I don't need them from my 20 tubs, so I'm selling all 1120 of them, (...)

   (...) Haha, being a castle lover myself, I was drooling over the 56 grey 2x2s per tub... And you're right about the "usefulness" of 2x2s over 1x1s. -Bryan (21 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.se)
