A couple of days ago, my son and I were at the store, and we noticed the "Soccer Bus with a Soccer Ball" (Team Transport, #3411) were all gone[1], and the shelves were now stocked with the Americas Bus set #3406.

I think this is a wonderful idea. I think it would be a much better item for kids to collect than Bonicle. I also think that a tub like 3033 with grey, dark grey, brown, and tan as the four primary colors would be a "bestseller." I for one highly (...)

I'm a little confused here. You don't want to waste time looking for the pieces but you want them all to be the same color and if they're pre-sorted into "minisets" you'd rather dump them all out into the box? When I built the UCS sets, it was the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Mar-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)
