| I might post a larger report of the TRU down the hill from me tomorrow after I wake up, but here are some quick thoughts.

| (...) I don't see how they could have realized that, considering the fact that it simply can't be true. No matter how many buckets or piles of bricks you see for sale on eBay, RTL, here, wherever, I would be willing to be huge sums of money that the (...)

| (...) 3033 blue tub is still very common in the SF bay area. Even if TLG canceled it, it would take quite a long time for them to disappear in the channel. I find their decision to cancel buckets a bit bewildering - either they should put less (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| (...) Wow! So was 3033 for sale at 25% off then? 3033 is one of the sets that was supposedly cancelled, according to my sources -- it was 1200 pieces for $19.99 according to LEGO S@H. I know it was released to Wal*Mart for a special promotion, but (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| Didn't Kellogg's or someone have a promo for Lego sets? That might be the reason. I buy all my cereal at Sam's club. A lot cheaper, for the most part. Scott Sanburn (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

| Interesting - the Kroger grocery store around the corner from my house has had some LEGO sets in the cereal aisle (of all places) for a couple of months.
