Final purchase count came in at 141 tubs (my store needed some), and I
documented the last 125 (after noticing the bulk 1x4 bags). It was pretty
obvious after the first 40 or so, but I finished the lot out for completeness.
Results,
Bulk 1x2s
#0422 x 3
#0522 x 31
#0722 x 35
#0822 x 1
#2021 x 9 (these are really old, tubs dirty and dusty)
#5021 x 22
Bulk 1x4s
#1722 x 24
As you can see, 1722 is the magic batch number. I documented the lid type
(flimsy/hole or stiff/normal), but they proved to provide no additional
information.
An even more bizarre discovery was a 1x4 white technic beam was packed
instead of a 1x4 white brick. I keep that bag aside and will have a photo
soon. I didn't inspect every bag, it just happened to be on top. Out of 195
tubs bought to this date (234,000 bricks!), this is the first occurance
(that I found anyway).
Anyway, I have a 1x4 tub set aside, and an inventory will follow shortly
(and uploaded to BrickLink as 3033b). Next stop, 20 Rebel Blockade Runners
(bulk white anyone?).
