Ah, but things have changed lately... BTW, the UN set supposedly only had 3000 made, right?... The new Bulk Sculptures are in plain B&W boxes... The pumpkin only had instructions online...

I vote for a delivery van or a semi WITH trailer, a la 3442 (with trailer), 2148, etc, etc. John Neal wrote: > This idea has been floated before.

This idea has been floated before. Unfortunately, although it appears these runs are small, they actually run in the 10s of thousands. They also pay TLC for the marketing privilege.
