So these 4679’s are the weird ones with random pieces inside?

Thanks for the heads up Keith. Now I gots to go get me one. Or two.

If you pick some up, you may want to know you can find out a little about what’s inside in advance. There’s a number stamped near the barcode on the tub.

I think there are three possibilities. I’m not sure if all boxes with a single number are exactly the same.

There’s a 3534(?) which has a bunch of 1x3x? (very tall) castle wall type pieces.

There’s a 2814, which has a bunch of heads, and some door rails (pieces that hold motors in place)

I’m not sure what’s in the other tub.

I just went to my Toysrus in Brossard, Qc. I got one copy of 4679 and here is a picture of what was inside the bonus box. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=961229 There was 5 bags, and they almost all contain the same parts in multiple of 3. The tub was stamped with 3534 and there was 3 plastic straps. I cannot say it’s great selection... And what will I do with so many wings/wedge of only 1 side! I don’t know if I will go for more. 4400 was a better surprise last year.

In any case, if you get more than one tub, you may want to make sure they have different numbers.

(...) Hey Yanick! That's what I got! Two boxes of 3534! Not as great as those others that people in the States get, though. And by the way, how's your new house coming? And when will you re-open your Bricklink store? I like buying from you. ;) Keith (20 years ago, 30-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca, FTX)
