if we the customers were just doing LEGO a good turn by buying up all their

coordinated, having my wife help and sort worked well for me.)... (snip)


Indeed, the selection was different every single day. As we entered the park
every morning among the first visitors, the first thing I did was to check which
items they had thrown in the big box.
The first day there were lots of tan and brown plates: exactly the ones I needed
to build my "wooden puzzle"-cube. I didn't collect them because it seemed
impossible to fill an entire box with only these elements (I only started
looking for them when my wife was filling a box for the children and I managed
to find approximately half the amount I needed...).
The following days I've seen lots of Bionicle elements (as in the picture),
white 4x6 bricks, green and light blue 8x8 bricks, dark pink 6x16 tiles with
studs on sides, yellow 8x16 bricks, transparent pink 16x16 bricks corner round,
orange wheels without tires,... Maybe others find these elements useful. With a
couple of future projects in the back of my head, I couldn't find enough useful
pieces to fill my own box.
So one can indeed wonder if we were doing a good deal... ;-)

Hi Maarten It sounds like you and your family had a great trip! I have filled a few of the 299,- boxes you mentioned and I am still trying to figure out if it was a good deal or not. Earlier in the season the price was 599,- and, although the (...) (20 years ago, 30-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
