Well considering I picked up a tub of 1200 pieces for $25 CD wich worked out
around $30 Aud..... and I usually pay around $50 Aud for a box of 500 pieces
here in Aus......the sets Lego over there is sooo much cheaper...!!!!


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).

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 again.

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...
