    Question to Collectors —Steve Bliss
   Will the value of my new set, #9365 DACTA Community Vehicles (II or so), be diminished if I remove the stupid 5.25"x1.875" (13.3cm x 4.76cm) warning label ('choking hazard. small parts. not for children under 3 years' - well, duh) which Enfield, in (...)

     And the allocation of parts-into-baggies is just fascinating on this set. Steve (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: Question to Collectors —Tom Stangl
     What it is is ANNOYING. I'm going to have to build one complete set, then tear all the subsets down, make an inventory, then open the other 9+ to sort them into the subsets. NO WAY am I building 10 of everything. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

      Don't get me wrong -- I'm glad they didn't do a Town, Jr. sort on it (which would have helped you out). But usually the parts are sorted into baggies a bit more logically, by size.

         Re: Question to Collectors —Steve Bliss
     Thinking about your dilemma, you could[1] grab all ten copies of a single bag, and sort out the pieces from that bag. Repeat for all bags. Then build one model to discover the required pieces, and collect 10x from each pile. BTW, I may be having an (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

   Yeah, those are annoying, aren't they? I have at least 10 to remove :/ (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Question to Collectors —Steve Bliss
   They could've put them on the *outside* of the crate, on the clear plastic lid. That is (a) where it belongs and (b) easier to remove. Has DACTA always been manufactured in Europe? I thought it used to be a US-only thing. Steve (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
