The nice thing about the buckets ONCE YOU HAVE THEM, is that you can compact 2.5
buckets into one, so those 40 will end up being 16 buckets. And if you just throw
them in a cardboard box, you can cram them into a decently small box.
I still have 16 compacted buckets from the LLC tent sale I have to sort out and
sell off parts from, and now I have tons of Etoys buckets headed my way :-/
