new set home with me in the backseat of the car and savored and stretched out
the moment of unveiling. Opening the box ever so delicately and carefully

The more I've inspected the packaging, the more I've come to really respect and
admire their attention to detail in the marketing of the product from these
years. Whereas today, you can hardly find an actual photograph of a physical
model on the front of the box, with these sets you could open the box flap and
actually preview some of the pieces you'd be purchasing!
So, who would like to see a "photographic essay" of this set?
