Posted by Huwbot,
Today's random set is 4782 Bulk Set - 200 bricks, released during 2005. It's one of 37 Creator sets produced that year. It contains 200 pieces, and its retail price was US$3/£3.99.
It's owned by 119 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you should find it for sale at BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $18.70, or eBay.

200 pieces? Hardly a bulk set. That can't even build a Speed Champions car!
And the Creator said, "Let there be Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene in the form of interlocking bricks," and lo, they came into being. 200 bricks in various shapes, sizes, and colors were able to be scooped up by the bucketful, and it was good.
LEGO Classic before LEGO Classic
BRICKS!!!! This is why I signed up for this site, clearly
$3.00 For two hundred peices! Wow!
That completely bypasses the ten cents a peice that’s like…
$1.50 cents a peice boy if they released this now!

A little over half of a 6-wide Mater. 2/3rds of a 6-wide Good Humor ice cream truck.
First RSotD with the new feature on the side!
False advertising: LEGOideas.com is a dead end.
Where oh where to get fun building ideas?
It was actually $7 when alone (in the box pictured), or a free extra item that came with the 4103 red bucket at Toys R Us (in a different looking box).
Oh wow....when did "Lego Ideas" go from a 'depository' for instructions, to a set-submission site...:|
This set is what happens when you eat Wheatabix. ;)
Do it!

First thing I too tried when seeing that picture. Kinda surprised they didn't just link it to either the current Ideas site or just the regular Lego website.
But no worries: There's the WaybackMachine!

The raw Chaos from which a blocky, plastic Gaia will spring!
Surprisingly this was in a relatively small box, not a bucket. It did get paired with a bucket sometimes, fastened by zip wires. I renember seeing such a combo in the stores back in the day, although I'm decently sure that 'bonus' box contained weird surplus bricks.
@huw, random part if the day articles are no longer generated. Is that known ?

Been covered in a thread a few days ago. In short, not enough images of parts to continue RPotD.
See here for comments about it:

I bought four of those buckets. Sure, the attached buckets were just a way for Lego to get rid of unnecessary stock, but it was still a decent deal.
