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.

Not having the luxury of being at many pick-a-bricks in my lifetime.... I may
be mistaken... BUT I was under the impression that “packing” or “stacking”
cups was forbidden. Do they not have some signs in that regard? Or was that
just an indulging-too-much-at-a-fest hallucination? Or is this just something
staff overlooks? Im all for “when in Rome”... I just don’t want to get
publicly spanked, for something like Lego insatiability.

Janey, you live too close the the only store I know of that does frown on PAB
stacking: http://www.bricksandblocksoutlet.com/ They post a no-stacking
policy above their PAB tree:
At least it was there when I last visited the store 3 years ago:

For Brand Retail PAB, the rule about the lid snapping into place depends on who
is on duty that day. The managers are definitly more picky about what is
allowable. I have seen some cups where the lid did not touch the cup and it was
concidered acceptable. Sometimes I put the lid on so it did snap and was told
it was not full yet by certain staff. Other staff will tell you to take parts
out until the lid does snap. It helps to go in on a regular basis and get to
know the staff and get to know who lets you get away with the most. This is
from experience of living within 30 minutes of 3 brand retail stores and
traveling across country to visit over a dozen more. Unfortunately, I now live
over 4 hours from the closest PAB.
Orlando, Florida does not have the tubs or I would have filled at least one of
those this weekend. The lady in charge of the PAB wall did not even know they
existed the first time I went in.

| (...) Not sure if it's changed recently, but at our brand retail store in Portland Oregon, the manager won't let you out of the store if your PAB cup lid touches the rim of the cup, let alone snaps shut! Well, he's not quite that millitant, but he's (...) (17 years ago, 30-May-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)
