While I agree that the 400 pc Classic bucket is in some ways not as good at
the Freestyle tubs I've got, I still like it. I appreciated getting a decent
selection of blue plates. I also liked getting the door in a new color, and
it does have a pair of 1x4x3 windows with mullions and shutters. I also like
the selection of slopes (of the sorting I've been doing so far, its the
major contributor to red slopes).

True there are no arches and plants.
