I just picked up 3 tubs at a Sacramento (Northern California) TRU and they all had the more boring extra parts 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 of parts is not that exciting.

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 yellow duplo pieces in them.

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 “boring” tubs also have the 3534 stamp and/or three straps? If so, we’ll know which ones to possibly avoid.

Ones stamped 2714 or 2814 seem to have the more varied assortment. I got ahold of one tub that was shipped in last night (14 others were the Duplo tub and someone else beat me to the only other red tub). It is stamped 2714, and it’s got a good assortment. Has anyone seen any numbers other than these?

(...) 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)
