I have to agree about the price.  The Star Wars bucket is the only set I'm not
getting in the SW Line, because

1) The minifigs are cheesy Anakin and Jar-Jar (HOW many other sets have Jar-

with any instructions, and I certainly didn't see any really cool models on
the outside of the tub.

pieces <set:7159> in a bucket is a little steep IMO.

Any guesses, ideas, or de-classified knowledge about the 2001 Watto's Shop <set:7186>? Is it going to be a set or a bucket like the pod racing bucket, and like the Mickey Mouse bucket? Maybe TLG sees themed buckets as a good idea. I like the idea in (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)
