I have a 590 Engine Co. 9, complete with box, instructions, and sticker
sheet with only one sticker used which I would like to bring. I also
have a 588 Police Station to bring. If we want to see how many Yellow
Castles we can collect in one place, I'd be happy to bring mine. I do
also have some classic space sets if there would be interest (primary
would be 924 and 6971). I can also bring old idea books and many of the
various books (8890, 250, 200, 8891, 6000, 226, 697, 260, The Gate of
the Present, The Ultimate LEGO Book, 50 Years of Play, The World of LEGO
Toys, Jim Spaceborn - The Unknown Galaxy). I can also bring old
catalogs, and old Mania magazines. Another item of interest would be
6086 with both a "Dungeon Master's Castle" and "Black Knight's Castle"
boxes.
I've also got a nearly complete collection of the original Scala jewelry
sets (they've got nifty printed tiles). They are all sorted into my
collection, but I can bring a representative sample, and the boxes).
I've probably got a few more things.
Since I hope to fill my wagon mostly with Pirate stuff, any of this
stuff someone else is bringing I can leave behind (or for example in the
case of 6086, I can bring just the box).

I think I'm coordinating the Pirate room? I'd love folks to bring stock
sets, since I will be trying to optimize for the game, I'd like to leave
as many sets behind as possible, so please let us know what sets you
might be able to bring. I'd love to have a display featuring all the
ships and other major sets. Also, let me know if you're willing to have
the set used in the game (I anticipate using a few sets like 6277, and
if someone can bring it and we can use it in the game, then that's one
less thing for me to squeeze into my Wagon).
One contribution I will definitely bring is my Pirate comic collection
(3 of the 4 Ladybird books, and 6255 in both US and UK versions, and
possibly Italian [I'm currently negotiating to buy the Italian
version]).
