Well, now they can! I think this is a fantastic idea and I really hope it
sells well. I know I’ll be buying a few. :)

Note the older style blue tub on 3600. It is not shaped like a brick.
|
Works for me. :)

And 3598 & 3599 are round cardboard style tubes.

That is very retro packaging in some sense. Reminds me of the old tubes that
wooden blocks and Lincoln Logs have been sold in over the years.
Very much so! Thanks for posting those links.

Well I’m holding my breath.... if the only window parts are Peeron #4132 and
#4133 (the 2x4x3 ages 3+ windows), then it will be disappointing. We’ll have to
see... However, the title to the box is rather encouraging...
Also Lego sold parts in tubes happened twice in the distant past, in Switzerland
and USA.
In Switzerland they had basic sets from 1957-65 (sets #700/0 thru #700/6) with
these tubes with a tin top.
In the USA from 1962-65 Samsonite had an exclusive arrangement with Sear’s
Department Store to sell basic sets #704, #706 and #710 in tubes as well. These
however had a string to pull along the outside edge to open the tubes.
Afterwards they never quite closed quite right, and most exist without a top.
Dave or Eric.... pictures?
