(...) It comes down to they weren't worried about what you want, or that the packages are just garbage, they were worried as to catching the eyes and bucks of the kids and parents. The bottom line is all that really matters in the end. (18 years ago, 20-Apr-06, to lugnet.color)

I thought as a matter of interest just what colour my wife's latest MOC actually is ? It was unvieled at the latest of our club meetings.
