I ended up with a 1666 Brick Vac MISB in a Lot I received.  It's one of
those items that I don't see that often.  Is this a rare item in this
condition (new, still sealed)?  Is this popular at all?  Do people collect
it, use it, or ignore it?  Looking through the window in the package there
seems to be sealed bags of Legos inside.

I've picked up two of these in garage sales for $1.00 apiece (including
extra legos).  I think they're kind of neat, but not very practical.  I know
one sold on ebay for $20.  I hope that helps!  I like to show them to people
as a conversation piece when touring my lego room. hehheh  I thought I might
use them once in a while, but I haven't yet!  I believe it is fairly rare to
find one still sealed in a box.

I've also picked up two at garage sales, and I sold one of them (including all
pieces, but not mint-- you could tell a kid had "vacuumed" up crayons with it)
on eBay last year for about $17.50 IIRC.  I would say it's rare to find one
MISB, but not necessarily in great demand.  Newer versions of the vac include
Polly Parrot (Polly Pickup?) and a school bus.
