I'd be willing to swap you brand new still havn't been taken out of the bag
whites for your greens on a 1:1 basis.  Just let me know.

I got 13 of these bad boys.  Need

anyone is interested.  Trying my

Legoland.  Can't wait to finish it to
compare them.

The 1200 brick blue tubs are on sale at TRU for $14.99 today and • tomorrow
only. It states that this sale is also good online.

Out of curiousity, what is the MSRP for this tub in the states?

$19.99 (plus tax, naturally).

Which makes it sound like 14.99 isn't that great a deal. Until you do
the math. We're talking something like(1) 1.2 1-4.cents a brick even in
high tax states.

And this tub hardly ever (never?) goes on sale...

1 - "something like".... too lazy to do the math.


I have never seen this tub go for less than $14.99 and this is only the
second time I have seen it get that low.  Of cause, I will probably prevent
it from ever getting lower than that here.  I finished my buying spree and
unless I get some more people in BAYLUG picking some more up for me, I am
stuck at 280 tubs this weekend, 20 short of my goal.  That includes 128 on
rainchecks.  With movement like that, it is unlikely that a chain will drop
it further.  I cleaned out every store I could find within 100 miles.

This is truly a good deal, as it shaves $250 off the cost of each train
module.  I have enough basic bricks now to make 10 modules!  Woo-hoo!

Let's just hope these tubs stay around for a while - I will need another 300
in about 4 months.

(...) Just a nit, you have to take them out of the bag to swap them, the colors are mixed together. (25 years ago, 22-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
  Re: 1200 brick Blue Tubs on sale at TRU
 
Anyone: Do the basic green bricks sell in auctions for approximately the same price as white bricks? Does a 1:1 swap seem equitable? I thought the green went for more. Any help appreciated. Rick K (...) (25 years ago, 22-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
