Signed up just to post this, I actually had more individual pieces but the lid sprung right back at me and I almost dropped the whole container luckily I only dropped the top stack of orange 2x3 bricks and they were easy to stack back in there.
I think I did OK for the first time stacker. The suggested example asked me to stack 2x4's 3 high, but there was no way you could get that pass the register, so I stacked 2x4, 2x4, and 2x3 on highest ring. If I could do 3 high, I guess I could get 76 2x4 bricks and non 2x3's.
Total 252 pcs, cost $10 including tax.
I really love 2x4's but I wish they had 2x8's so I could just stack them on the first ring instead of 2 high 2x4's.
