SOL!  I only hope they cancelled this because the bucket was full of
Star Wars parts and they needed all they could get for the sets.  Once
pent-up demand is satisfied they will release the bucket--I know,
wishfull thinking.

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.
