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?

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 to have one of the more “colourful” ones
luckily (from a lucky purchase earlier) -- the supposedly boring ones are
HEAVIER. If you had two of the boxes you will know what I mean with out the need
of a scale ;-)
Gosh TLC can never slip one by this lynx eyed gang of fans.

| (...) 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)
