Aloha all She wasn't mad when I came home from the school fair with a $15 tub of Lego (on top of all of the other little purchases that I sneak through). She wasn't even mad that I stayed up all night pawing through it trying to put the various (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

Yeah, my wife helped me over an entire weekend, sorting 10 Dacta sets. And when I told her I had ordered 18 more 5571s today, and they had 1700+ pieces in each, and that I would be breaking up 6-10 for auction, her reply was "oh boy, more sorting". (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

Oh nonono - I am only parting out 6-10 of them, the rest are being kept to build a fleet, each a little different from the other, or for far future trades for 8448 SuperCars. (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) But I'm willing to bet the baggies in the 5571's are better organized than the ones in the 9365's. They'd have to be. Nothing could be worse than the 9365. Steve (25 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

On the contrary, 9365 wasn't bad at all, ESPECIALLY since there were 2 types of bags that were doubled up (which shows me there is a DEFINITE logic to the weird piece placement for baggies - odds are those baggies were used in some other set too), (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) That is a logical approach. But let's be anal for a moment: Build all 18 - "just to make sure" - then take them apart and _then_ sort. :-) -- Terry K -- (25 years ago, 19-Mar-99, to lugnet.general)
