(...) I believe they were only molding basic bricks at the Enfield plant. Considering how few basic bricks are in the current sets, it probably bade good business sense to shut it down. I wonder if they will discontinue bulk buckets and tubs? KL (26 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
