What I heard from a reputable local retailer is that TLG cancelled all
buckets across the board -- including brick buckets, FreeStyle buckets, and
the planned re-release of the 3047 Halloween bucket.  :-(

Dunno why they have chosen to do this, but maybe it has something to do with
the recent layoffs and distribution problems.

(...) Sounds like there wasn't a large enough margin on low-cost buckets. That really sucks, especially for large-scale builders. Steve (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
