    Bring Your Minifig To Work Day —Todd Lehman
    Bring Your Minifig To Work Day is coming up soon -- I think it's supposed to be on Friday, December 11 this year. That date also happens to be Mike Stanley's birthday, and he agreed a few months ago to accept a collection of minifigs by mail and (...) (26 years ago, 29-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day —Mike Stanley
     (...) Sure, I'm still willing to do it. :) It would give me an excuse to take my digicam to work and snap a bunch of shots. (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

     (...) If I weren't concerned about possible loss I'd take them with me to the opening night of Star Trek: Insurrection as well. :) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
    
         Don't send them in envelopes (Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day) —James Seibert
      A heartfelt plea, ---Warning---, I am a technician that has worked on Postal machinery. The Postal service uses machines to sort their mail and would crush and mangle the minifigs. Normal flat letters are okay, but a minifig would catch in the belts (...) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
     
          Re: Don't send them in envelopes (Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day) —Todd Lehman
      (...) Mmm, good point. Maybe turn a small LEGO box inside-out, and put another one inside that and use $.55 postage x2 ? Or how about a bubble-pad envelope -- are those safe? --Todd (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
     
          Re: Don't send them in envelopes (Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day) —James Seibert
       (...) A bubble pad envelope is fine, because it is thicker ( greater than a 1/4") and machines can't process it. I know the postage is more, but piece of mind is better. (26 years ago, 1-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

          Re: Don't send them in envelopes (Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day) —Christopher L. Weeks
      (...) I've sent elements - but not minifigs - in a normal envelope with no crushing blows. Under what circumstances is this an issue with which to be concerned? (26 years ago, 21-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day —Todd Lehman
     (...) Huhhhh-whooah! You mean I could send my favorite minifig to Star Trek: Insurrection?! Oh, man, he wants to go!!! How about if I indemnify you against loss? --Todd (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day —Mike Stanley
     (...) Works for me. :) Anyone who wants to send me a minifig, contact me via e-mail and we can swap addresses and such. (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

        Re: '99 Bring Your Minifig To Work Day —Michael Huffman
     (...) Sorry, Todd, I just read your post about it, (URL) all for the second Friday in Dec, unless it falls on a local-national holiday (ie. Dec. 8th, the holiday Mario mentioned)... or the 3rd Monday of the month... --Mike. (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
