What I'd really like to see is a "brick bucket" that contains mostly large bricks and maybe a few doors, windows, and slanted tiles. I'm all for gribbly bits, but it seems harder to accumulate a good collection of the basics these days - because the big "brick buckets" you describe are probably half gribbly bits. In my experience as a kid, what we really wanted was enough mass to build walls and houses and forts, and were not as interested in small detail stuff.

That looks pretty good actually, but now I'm going to move the goalposts and wish for a similar box with less color variety so that you can build, for example, a white house with a red roof, instead of having to cobble together various colors.

Still though, I just might have to top off the kids collection with one of these boxes. Good find.
