(...) Maybe they made them with cheap Brazilian labour and rainforest harvested ABS, hence the phase out of these buckets (with the closure of the Brazil factory)? Someone tell me if that's a completely wrong assessment... --DaveL (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

(...) Assuming we just get the Euro selection, it's strange that Europe doesn't get a rectangular bulk bucket. They make them for Duplo, so why not for basic. Do the residents of the US use that many more basic bricks. Or is it a matter of pricing (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

(...) I think the 1200 bucket is exceptional even by N American standards though: people have compared the price per piece in the S@H bulk packs quite unfavourably with those buckets (except for the colour and piece range obviously). --DaveL (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)
