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).

people empty plastic storage tubs.  Sound crazy?  The folks at Tupperware

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 from a kitsch standpoint. I
know someone (who's got a pretty big collection) who actually throws them away
after he takes the bricks out. But then again, he doesn't sort either..
