Hi Guys,
I don't know why you are finding them for $14.99. I bought one today for $9.99
like Anthony reported. I wonder why there's a difference in price? That
doesn't make sense! Anthony and I are both in Texas, but I can't see there
being any difference state to state!
In my tub, I got an assortment that sounds a lot like what Cary described.
There was a interesting assortment of colors. I counted 8 different 2x4 bricks,
each with a different non standard color in this one tub. There were 8 bags of
parts that were special in this tub. I also got 2 minifig heads in transparent
yellow and one in transparent flourescent green as well as 10 in black and one
in some wierd flesh color. I got 2 of the large sand green Harry Potter roof
peaks. There was two 1x2x2 bricks with the notched corner slope in them (one
black and one grey). I got a 3 pronged flower part in brown (I've never seen it
in that color before). I got the one piece stair part in brown like was used in
"Escape from Privot Drive". There were two grey 6x12 wing plates as well as the
white burp and stuff Cary mentioned above. All in all, I think this selection
is a better value for the money than the 4562 box is mainly due to the larger
type of parts. When this Spring Cleaning buy out is finished, I expect to have
a quite a collection of parts in the oddest colors!
This is fun!
Tom
