  Seriously? Light trans-black would have been a more appropriate identifier as
there is a noticeable difference, however there is nothing brown about this color
that we are now calling trans-brown.

Once you compare them side by side, like the one shown in the link posted by
1001bricks, you can see that old trans brown is very accurate.

  I went into my local Lego store today and noticed that Pick-A-Brick wall large
containers (boxes) are now $17.99. That's a two dollar increase from the
previous price of $15.99.

Prices have gone up but the selection of parts have gone down (at least in our
area where 3 Lego stores are relatively close).

The good news is that the cardboard boxes they now use hold just as much as the
cups. We purchased one and filled it with 1x1 round plates then poured them into
a PAB cup and found that hold about the same amount maybe with the box holding
just a smidge more. The advantage with the box being rectangular instead of round
means that they are better for stacking square parts like plates or door frames.
And they are definitely more gooder then worser for the environmenta.

  You are talking about not getting upset if you received a couple of pieces here

a couple of pieces being staked, he stated the ALL the pieces were stacked.

There is a BIG difference between a couple of pieces verses all new pieces being
stacked.

Thanks for chiming in but you actually didn't read the full context of my
own post either as it was directed towards yorbrick not the OP. I already stated
that I didn't fully approve of stacked bricks and so I don't take issue
with whatever complaints the op has over how they received their parts. It's
more directed at Yorbricks overly pedantic "stacking for 5 seconds" comment
along with his many other past comments where he obsessively appears to enjoy
correcting people and re-iterating the rules back to them regardless of how necessary/minor
the subject matter!

Ah, I see. Makes more sense.
