OK, someone brought this to my attention from a Bricklink post.  But there is a
new 4679 Creator set tub with 1000 pieces (for $19.99), with an extra 500 pieces
that looks like they're emptying the rare colors bins at TLG.  I just checked
the hollow stud minifig heads in the extra 500 pieces.  There were a lot of
them, but what caught my eye first was the 8 in what appears to be dark red.  I
checked Bricklink and only 1 seller had 1 of those for $5 !!  Then I thought I
saw some in sand green and either sand blue or light blue.  I couldn't find any
sellers in Bricklink selling in those colors.  Ditto for the ones that appear to
be tan (not flesh) or light yellow.

I bet that this set has some great finds.  I understand that the extra 500
pieces will be rather random parts.

Here was the Brickshelf link that shows the 500 piece extras:

Looks like it this set is worth the gamble!

(...) Gary, check this page: (URL) are multiple listings for several of the colors you mention. And I would keep checking back because sellers are just now finding those sets (at Toys R Us) so they'll be parting them out for a while. HTH, Maggie C.

(...) Okay, I'm confused. My three tubs all say that they have 1513 pieces. The inventory printed on the back matches that for set 4278, down to using the old grays. But set 4278 is a 1000 pieces tub. So either 1) The inventory on the back is wrong, (...) (20 years ago, 21-Sep-04, to lugnet.general)

Anyone see one of these on the West Coast/Southern Cal? All the TRU I've hit so far (about 6) have had the Duplo bucket with bonus strap-on-box-o-parts, but no Creator bucket. Strangely, when the managers check their computers, the computers say (...) (20 years ago, 25-Sep-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

It appears there are at least 2 different bonus box lots. They are either stamped 2714 or 2814 on the bonus box. I believe 2714's have the solid color minifig head assortment. If there are any other bonus box serial numbers would someone please post (...) (20 years ago, 25-Sep-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Most people seem to be finding the tub at Toys r Us. Is the set exclusive to TRU? Has anyone found it at like Target/Kohls or any other chain? Thanks, Mark (20 years ago, 27-Sep-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Can someone post the Toys R Us SKU/SKN number for the 4679 tub? You can get it off the receipt if you purchased the set. Thanks, Mark (20 years ago, 1-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

This tub is now available through Amazon.com: (URL) though the description is simply "Lego Creator Tub with 500-pc. Elements Box," it has the 500979 SKN number that Toys R Us uses. Upside: Now available to anyone Amazon will ship it to. Possible (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)
