    I found the set #'s to two of the Mega-Blok buckets: 974 and 976.  I
couldn't get to the other ones because they had been put away.  These are the
same buckets I've seen in Wal-Mart for $10.
    I underestimated when I said we had 300 buckets.  We only have 109.
However, I checked the inventories of other stores around the country, and most
have about 200 buckets.  That's quite a lot considering that they were supposed
to be gone by the end of the Christmas season.  The 2 closest stores to ours
had inventories of 268 and 195.
