Yike's!!!  What does that mean for 3033 Tubs?  Don't those come from Enfield?
I can't see those being sold if they have to import them!

  On the speculatively plus side, didn't we (LUGNet at large) identify a
potential problem with economic competition between bulk sales of bricks and
the brick tubs themselves?  Perhaps if the 3033 is discontinued TLC will be
able to devote more product to bulk sales, possibly even reflected in pricing?

<snort>  Not likely.

They'd probably be killing off the 3033s because they compete too hard with the
overpriced Bulk bricks.

Don't get me wrong, I've ordered a LOT of Bulk, but not one standard brick yet,
the prices are WAY too high per piece.
