  Re: 3033 Blue Tub
 
The plot thickens. If you look closely at the picture of the 1200 piece tub for $9.99, it says 'Basic'. The one for $19.99 says 'System'. It looks like they're blowing out older 3033s that only differ in the outside labeling. Could this be? Is there (...) (23 years ago, 20-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

  Re: 3033 Blue Tub
 
I for one suspect that they've just got the wrong picture there, and people will recieve 4288s or some such bucket type thing. especially since the blue tub is listed as a separate item. I'll wait until someone else gets some first :) (...) (23 years ago, 20-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
