Stuffing a LEGO Brick Box

With all our LEGO purchases over the Holidays, it was inevitable we’d be eligible for 2012’s Brick Box promotion. If you had spent over $75 at a LEGO Store starting on Black Friday, you received a small card board box to fill with LEGOs from the part wall. Pretty cool right?

Here’s the box I filled.

This was the first pick-a-brick activity I’ve ever done and didn’t realize that it’s actually harder than it seems. At least the container is an easier-to-fill square box, not the usual cylindrical container. I targeted the bigger, heftier pieces, not the small dainty ones that you eventually accumulate as extras. There weren’t any real cool pieces, probably the “rarest” piece for me was the larger windshields. Okay, I don’t think I had any LEGO barrels so I had to get some. Other than that, I tried not to have any space available to maximize the loot. At the end, my box barely closed and actually ripped while checking out.
