Actually... for you orange lovers out there, the bucket has 34 orange
bricks, plates and 1x2 slopes etc. I point this out, only because when you
gather them up, they do make a nice handful of orange. And for me at least,
made it worth buying 4 buckets today. (Especially at $6.86 for 200 bricks)
There are also a few useful light grey pieces and thankfully only 1 1x4
yellow smile brick. :)
My only complaint?
The packaging. I know it's nice to have a few buckets for sorting, storing,
dumping bricks on the floor etc. But when the bucket is not even 1/3 full
of bricks, it seems such a waste. Couldn't they put these mixed/assorted
buckets and tubs in packaging that is more economical and space saving?

For those in the London area... if there are any of you. The Clarke Side
Road Wal-Mart is temporarily out of the 7831 bucket. They did have 6 around
noon today... which was good because that's all I could carry to the
checkout. :)
(4 for a co-worker's son, and 2 for me.)
The White Oaks Wal-Mart seemed to start off with more. Perhaps 25 or 30 on
a skid in the middle of an aisle. I took another 2 off their hands, but
sadly had to leave the rest.
I was glad to see an assorted bucket again. It's been a while since I've
been able to buy any. I didn't get to Toys 'R Us today, but hope to check
out the 4107 at some point. I just can't figure out though, why the Zellers
stores aren't able to carry *any* assorted buckets of any kind. At least
not in this area they don't.
Regards,
Allan B.
