(...) 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)

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)
