Ooh! Trans red and blue bricks!

And they’re clearly being dumped in a pit.

I love these old Creator sets! Too bad the Brickset inventories are missing the parts recently added to the customer service inventories. When are these getting updated?

Buy the Lion Knights Castle and sell off the minifigures.

1305 is a strange number of pieces, probably size of tub as usually all 1000 or 500 now. Just wish there was a plates tub as I don't really have a need for lots of double width bricks apart from when I was 5.

These were always great. In this era tubs would give you plenty of regular parts to build basic creations with in the primary classic colors in addition to more modern colors like orange, medium blue and lime. Furthermore these often came with surplus 'bonus parts' with random specialized moulds and colors because lego was struggling hard at the time. Not great for the company, but great for us buyers!
And to top it off, there were always a ton of ideas in the instructions.

Yeah, I'm biased to something like this over the Classic theme, as many parts there are far from regular bricks or common colors or colors in common quantities.

@Bobsy I'd love it too. I sell parts on Bricklink as a sub-hobby and my grey and black parts are often quickly snatched up whilst the rest linger behind. I'd love for either lego to fulfill people's need for those parts or for people to build with some more color already! Life isn't monochrome you know, and even Star Wars and Batman use colors if you know where to look XD

I wish I knew what basic sets I had so I could list them in my collection. Not that I had more than a couple; I would have preferred more monochrome sets like Bobsy, and more 1X bricks over the 2X.

I know this is not a basic set, but they do almost the same thing.

I still have the tub for this! Currently using it to store various Minifig parts.

you can thank me later."

The Soylent meal replacement foods you buy in your grocery store were inspired by this film's food company's name. No, really! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_ (meal_replacement)

The Soylent Green film from 1973 was also the first time video games were seen in a movie. The game was "Computer Space" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Space

I definitely don't have a spare £350 to throw around, even if I make some of it back. I haven't even bought one for myself yet.

Walmart has a new 1800 piece Fantasy theme brick box, includes lots of Castle weapon accessories.

11033 I presume you mean? It's a disappointment to be honest. There's very little medium stone grey in there: only six 1x4s, and no 1x2s or 1x3s. It's not really worth the money, and since the only place it's sold in this country (as far as I know) is in Lego stores themselves, it's not getting a discount any time soon. On it's own it's much too expensive.

@NotProfessorWhymzi: That movie was set in 2022. Makes you think, doesn't it?
