Also #10696 is not actually a basic bricks box, it is a Creative Brick Box. Many kids (and AFOLs) like to get the small creative parts such as cheese slopes, eyes, wheels, etc. From the number of creative boxes they are bringing out, I guess we can assume that creative boxes sell better than basic boxes.
If you want basic bricks, try bricklink, or the PAB wall in a lego store.
Best option for brick only (no small parts) is Lego Education #4579793, 884 pcs $54.95 on Amazon, but frequently available from Amazon warehouse for +/-$48. Comes in a brown cardboard box that gets easily smashed, so they get lots of returns.
Why does the #10692 creative box come with a plastic storage brick top, but the bottom is just a cardboard box? I have to admit that in my rush to grab a bunch because they were $7, I didn’t notice until I got home. It just seems a waste to bother with the plastic top.
Anyway @Astrobricks I don't know the answer to the question but I will take this opportunity to mention that in the end for my purposes I bought a bunch of #10698 boxes and mixed in a few tubs of pick-a-brick 2x4s etc which gave a good mix of standard and non-standard bricks. The box #10698 comes in is all plastic and is more than big enough to hold its original contents plus a load of extra bricks.
