You're lucky. I've gotten a damaged box (pretty severely, too), with
instructions missing, of a set that should have been put on special to
sell out a few years ago when it weas discontinued, for 100 instead of
115. That's the best I've done.
Kinda sucks, compared to $5 buckets ... (those are prolly even buckets
including 1*x bricks, too, aren't they? - buckets here are $20, for
BASIC line buckets with 2*x bricks.. )
