Me too. However it seems I spend 50% of my "lego time" here, which is
fun, and 45% on commerce, which only sort of is... and at best 5% on
actual building. Since I have multiple copies of the sets I was
referring to, I don't have to actually open those particular
instances... although I am tempted with the shuttle. The 4558, I have
already had the joy of opening a MISB and building it for the very first
time (that was the first 4558 I got, I now have like 5 or 6, I forget
exactly) but I never have opened and built an airport shuttle... I can't
believe a MISB went in Bill Katz's auction for only 350.

Well it is truly easy nowadays to get free space and even if you are
completely clueless, some sites make it very easy to post a few
pictures... check out homestead.com, I think. Ask around in
lugnet.publish for help, there are lots of people there that can give
you pointers.
But if you just have a couple of snaps you've scanned in, email them to
me, I'll post them somewhere.
