 | | Which Set Should I Bring?

|
I'm about to set off across the country (Connecticut to Washington) for a temporary assignment (18 months) at Boeing and was wondering which castle set/s I should bring with me. I'm going to be relatively limited on space, so I can only bring a (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yeah, reconsider working for Boeing... Sorry, my repressed annoyance for the company that laid me off slipped out there. Anyway, I would bring a bunch of small sets, and maybe one medium "base" set. Something that you can use for a base of (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Having just returned from a two week trip, I've got some thoughts. If you think you will be wanting to buy 2001 sets, I'd bring very little (perhaps just some minifigs) since in all likelyhood you will do what I did and buy way too much while (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yes, I'll definitely breakdown anything I plan on bringing. I'm hopeing to fill up a tub or two, so I think anything with a baseplate will be out. Dan M. (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) You could pack a few flat baseplates in your suitcase. They keep your shorts from wrinkling. ;-) Also you can probably stuff a few minifigs in your shaving kit. Heck, you could fit a spear or two in your toothpaste tube. :-) Above all you need (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) One large castle would seem to be better: it would remain in a more compact space when built and give more opportunities for variation. Carts can be added by (here's the dangerous thought, look out!) buying more Lego on location! You can (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) And I can attest that you can get quite a lot of LEGO into the limit for checked baggage. You can get up to 140 pounds of baggage (2 70 pound bags [well - more likely boxes]). I'll get the name of the toilet paper brand whose box worked so (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) As has been suggested, bring a big set for variation and buy some small stuff out here. (...) Yeah, and you can stand in the corner with me, the lone Pirate-head, and sneer at all of the Space-heads. :) "Oh look, they've built another gray (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'll second that (all but the toilet bag ;-). I stuffed pretty much everything I could when we moved - we had to take everything we wanted within about 10 suitcases (5 people). We only shipped a box or two of books... Be resourceful. Stick (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)
