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 started at tub #16 but I have nearly 100
more to open to test the theory.

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?).
