(...) I just picked up 3 tubs at a Sacramento (Northern California) TRU and they all had the more boring extra parts (URL) seen here> No nice minifig heads, no baseplates. I will try some other TRUs in the area if I get a chance, but this assortment (...) (20 years ago, 28-Sep-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I picked up some sets here in Colorado and they are exactly the same as those in your pix! Everyone one of them I must say... very disappointing! Looks like the first sets had the good pieces and then it got worse. Interesting to note the (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Mark, Roy, and Ram - In another part of this thread, Bruce said he bought 4 tubs with 5 almost identical bags in each tub. Those tubs had 3534 stamped on them, and three straps, instead of the usual two, holding the box to the tub. Did your (...) (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) My tubs do have the three straps, and they have the 3534 stamped (over the text near the UPC symbol). Good call - I wonder if your hypothesis is correct! Roy (20 years ago, 29-Sep-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I am not so sure about the "boring" tag anymore! This is the best boost to my collection ever with an incredible set of grey 3x6's. The number of straps and the number stamped on them ring true. Though I would add another criteria -- I happen (...) (20 years ago, 30-Sep-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Some more data points - I hit up another TRU and found tubs with three straps and NO number stamped near the UPC. And they are AWESOME. Lots of minifig heads and all kinds of weird parts. I've posted pics at (URL) this Brickshelf gallery> once (...) (20 years ago, 30-Sep-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Anyone else notice the contents of the 3534 tub are packaged differently too? I have a couple of the 2714s, and they all have 10 small bags inside. The 3534 I opened has nine. Also, none of the tub+box combos I've opened have had the full 1513 (...) (20 years ago, 3-Oct-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
