When I saw the various buckets with silver bricks, I thought to myself LEGO
was really trying to suck as much money out of people who would buy a whole

At *first* one might think this.  But in reality, and especially at 20% off or
some such discount, these buckets were good deals, regardless of the silver
brick.  And the silver brick was like an additional $2.00 off, because I think
that's what they are worth now:-)

I do not like that kind of marketing, neither am I
one who has enough cash to participate in such ploys.

Except if the kids *drag* you to McDonald's for teeny beanies;-)  But then
again, *YOU* will be dragging your kids to McDonald's for the LEGO promotion in
August....:-)

Any info on what the theme will be?

(...) Mostly regular bricks, but they also included (sorry, can't remember quantities) 1x2, 1x3, 1x4 regular orange bricks; 1x2, 1x3, 2x2, 2x3 orange slopes; and 1x2, 1x3, 2x2, 2x3 inverse orange slopes. Orange plates, tiles, etc. are proliferating (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
