Hi Everyone,

I am new to Lugnet.
I have heard so much about the 3033s, and about AFOL complaining about it
being discontinued.

I have seen the blue tubs all over Asia (now in stock, and a lot of them).
Is this tub only available in Asia?

I bought a tub and counted the pieces, there are only about 90 1x2 bricks
(total of all colors), and much more 1x4 bricks (about 440 of them in 6 main
colors).  This seems to differ from those listed by Eric H. or Peeron.
Anyone can comment on the new 3033s.

So you're saying there's a blue tub widely available in Asia, and it carries
the set number 3033 but it has a different inventory?

That's really weird. Lego has released a number of new and different basic
brick assortments lately here in the States but I have not seen the 3033 in
a while.

<snip>
I XFUT lego.direct in hopes that someone might be able to definitively
answer, is there a 3033 for sale somewhere in the world that has different
inventory, and what does it all mean?

Hope that helps, not sure it does.

There is definitely two types of 3033s. I have one American version wich has
the same contents as shown at Peeron. I also have 2 Australian 3033s an they
do indeed have more 1x4s and less 1x2s. But I agree - it's weird, that they
have the same set number...

Hmmmm interesting. There's a query about this here
http://news.lugnet.com/admin/database/?n=1537 and my inventory (in the
reply)matches the peeron inventory.

There's a dearth of 3033s available in Aus right now, has anyone in aus seen
one with different brick counts?

(...) I bought 120 tubs last week and am unpacking them now. Only have 24 here, the rest to be picked up weekend after next from layby. I started documenting the batch codes (4 digits, printed in black on side of tub) and the contents within. Only (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.loc.au)
