I was at the Woodfield IL LEGO store this weekend, and I saw something I'd never

might take all day, but if you took the time to stack, you could possibly fit
thousands of bricks in one of these.

Anyone had any experiences with these?

I am aware of the new PAB green tubs, but like most I am waiting for a better
selection of PAB.  I was told that for those of us who are "good at packing the
cups" will make out like bandits with the new tubs. The new tubs are available
at the Potomac Mills LEGO outlet and the Tyson's Corner store as well.
