| | | Lost in all the color debate has been coverage of 2005 sets. Looks like this URL went live - (URL) new page shows five new bulk lego sets. They are packed in suitcase style handled boxes, not tubs. Set numbers include - 4421 (1000 pieces) 4423 (800 (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.general) !!

| | | | You know, I can understand not using tubs for the smaller sets, but it sure would have been nice to see the 4421 in a tub. Then again, continuity of the series might be lost if one were in a tub while others were in boxes... I know! Put them ALL in (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) I'd rather pay less for the package and have more of my money go to the brick. The new tub with the studs is not really a very good tub compared to the old one with the flat lid... it takes up a lot more space and doesn't travel nearly as (...)

| | | | | | Agreed. I MUCH prefer the older tub. But I use the new tubs for static storage, and my 200 or so old tubs for when I need to move something. But I need MORE tubs ;-) (...) -- Tom Stangl *(URL) Visual FAQ home *(URL) Visual FAQ Home (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)

| | | | (...) I think putting them all in consistent packaging (not tubs - see below for more) is a great idea. Now... getting stores to actually display them all together, so the effect (of similar packaging) can pay off, is another story. It amazes me to (...)

| | | | (...) This already exists - there's a yellow tub that is sold empty at LEGO stores and I believe at LLCA too. IIRC they were lampooned on LUGNET ("$X.XX for an empty tub? What are they, nuts?"). Personally I like the big tubs with the studs, just (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Too bad they aren't available via Shop At Home, unless I've missed seeing them there? I've never been to an official company store or LLCA, so I guess I've never been exposed to these. Hey, now I don't feel like it was such a silly idea after (...)

| | | | | Well, they're selling them for $6.95! A bit much, I think. Especially when I've found old Duplo tubs *with bricks* at a CVS or 2 for less than $10 (wish I had found a ton more). (...) -- Tom Stangl *(URL) Visual FAQ home *(URL) Visual FAQ Home (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.general)
