Someone asked me by email what I was talking about when I described a
"Freestyle bucket". It's set number 4128, and I got one a couple weeks ago in a
small toy store in the northeast US for $21.56 (which was 20% off list price,
they were having a sale). It is still in the Shop-at-Home catalog.

There is no picture in the Pause magazine guide, but you can see it in the LEGO
Shop-at-Home catalog by following this link:

The "box count" is 650 and there is a pictorial inventory printed on the
outside of the bucket. The bucket itself is a little bigger than the ones used
for the 400-piece sets.

The model of the large green 2x2 double-slope used 3 2x4 double 1/3 slopes,
ten 2x4 1/3 slopes, and four 2x4 1/3 slopes. All of those (and a lot more)
are in the 650-piece Freestyle bucket

I was wrong about the dimensions of some of those pieces. I actually used 3x4
1/3 slopes and 2x3 1/3 slopes (as people probably figured out). Also, for the
"peak" of the roof I used two 2x2 double slopes and two 2x4 double slopes, not
three 2x4 double slopes like I said. The overall dimensions of the largr bricks
are 6 times normal size in each direction (height, width, length) or a total of
216 times in volume.
