And the fun thing was a hole bunch of bags with LEGO number 3258. I asked
one of the staff about those bags and she told me they got a HUGE box filled
with tousands of LEGO-pieces and had to fill that evenly into small platic
bags. The bags kost 49.50 NOK and is about 200-220grams of diffrent types of
pieces, non of the bags has indentical numbers of pieces or have the same
type of bricks in them. The ZIP-lock bags is white with small clear round
fields so you can se the contents of the bag easy.

I do not have a digital camera at this time, but will report later what type
of bricks and colors that was in those bags. But what I can see from the
outside there is a lots of difrent colors from pink, darkblue, brow, dark
red, orange (in difrent grades), white, diffrent types of greys and others.
The bricks is all types of bricks from minifig heads, wiggs, bodys and
feets. There is normal 2x bricks in difrent sizes and numbers. There are
wings, arches, slopes cones and even some technic plates in the bag I have
open so far, and a lot more.

I bougt 4 of thise bags, I will maybe go back to that store next week to buy
some more if I can see more good bricks in the other bags.

Has anybody else seen this type of bags before? If you have, what was the
price on them? 49.50NOK = 5.75 Euro = 7.23 US $ (at todays rate)

I suspect these are the same bags that we saw at LEGOworld 2003; only there the
price was 5 EUR per bag, and we could sort the bricks ourselves. Very cool. The
only bad thing was the parts without match (ie, left wings without right wings),
but I still came back home with 4 or 5 bags :-)

I was told LEGO offered these for retail sellers in Europe, but don't know
details, sorry :-(

(...) These boxes were most likely filled with production leftovers... quality is a mixed bag (I've had half a dozen bad 2*3 sloped light-grey so far) but there's a nice selection. I've so far "raided" about 12 stores and have discovered that (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.no)

I was in my town today to search for some of the new 2004 or late 2003 LEGO-sets. Or just to see if I could be lucky and find anything on sale after the christmas rush. Found 2 boxes of 4107 (399NOK). I have one of these boxes from before and like (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.no)
