  Re: No more Blue Tub...
 
On Wed, 11 Apr 2001, Amy Hughes (<GBnAyL.8n4@lugnet.com>) wrote at 20:44:45 (...) I'm confused. I was under the impression that this box had been discontinued. It's a Basic set, and AFAICT these have been replaced by the Creator sets. (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Make sure you always call 1800 835 4386. This number will always give you the regular shop at home service. This might have been different last week because they were having a staff meeting around noon when I first called. I think the 1800 453 (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: No more Blue Tub...
 
4229 was packaged in the vlue pack that was available at Kmart around christmas time. It contains 812 pieces and is not as good of a mix as the tubs are if you ask me. And in true Lego fashion, i'm sure that they will price it at the same level as (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: What?
 
Hey Richard, It's possible that the quantity has something to do with it. Perhaps even they can't believe that they screwed up 18 out of 25 heads. And in a shiny-happy-world they'd then send the heads to quality control so that the problem can be (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

  What?
 
Hey Y'all: It is a bad day for the Lego Curmudgeon... Some months back I ordered and parted out 20-25 sets of #4811 Defense Archer. 18 of the heads were blurry and otherwise misprinted -- for example, the beard printed so low on the head that it (...)

(...) I ordered 4 sets of this within 25 minutes of Tom's posting it to the internet. I called during the day and assumed that my order was being taken by S@H proper rather than their overflow telemarketing service, but not so -- I got the (...)

  Re: No more Blue Tub...
 
As I recall, this same rumor went around about 2 years ago. I bought the tubs I needed, alas to discover that they had not really been discontinued! Perhaps it is true this time, perhaps not.

  Re: No more Blue Tub...
 
(...) Stock up now... that's what I've been doing. They're still widely available. In a year or so people will probably pay good money for the unopened 3033 tubs, though I doubt any of us can hold out long enough to wait for that. Is there any rumor (...)

  Speaking of Oatmeal... (Was Re: How much does LEGO Weigh?)
 
(...) I saw the oatmeal with the LOM offer at MacFrugal's for $1.99 a box. Maybe not as good a price as the warehouse stores, but some of us don't have the patience to wait in line behind someone purchasing a year's supply of paper towels for their (...)

  Re: No more Blue Tub...

I will hold out hope that maybe the person you communicated with was mistaken but if this is true then my LEGO budget has been shattered and won't be making nearly as many S@H (...)

  Re: No more Blue Tub...
 
(...) Discontinued? These tubs have only just made it to Australia within the last couple of months. Maybe they are using us as a dumping ground for old Lego. This may not be such a bad thing if they send us some good stuff! Martin (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  No more Blue Tub...
 
I asked LEGO netherlands why the blue tub (3033) isn't available overhere. In their reply they said set no. 3033 has been discontinued..... This might explain the recent TRU sale.... Duq (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Down Payment Sale of Town (6542, 6597) and Castle (6081, 375) Sets
 
I'm hoping to buy a house this Spring. That means some of my supply of extra sets, especially some nice Town sets, have to find new homes. I have these sets listed for sale at my Brickbay store, Brickdom Parts. The prices are 10% off my original (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: KMart BOGO 50% off
 
(...) I have definetely noticed this about my local K-Mart. In fact the local one doesn't carry any sets over $40. Yet the next two closest K-Marts do carry good sets, and a semi-decent collection of stuff. My local one hasn't had blue buckets in at (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
