   Having carefully guarded the safety of my only brown LEGO brand common or garden shovel, I had a minor, completely non-swoosh testing related accident, wherein a partially completed house and fairly large backyard was dropped on the Red Baron from a height of 847mm. The only permanent damage was to a technic peg, and to - you guessed it - the brown shovel.

I’m sure there’s a lesson to be learned there somewhere.

Don’t underestimate Murphys law ??

And Murphy’s Second Law (also known as Murphy’s Law of Relativity): Something does go wrong, it will go wrong in the worst possible way.

   No problem with the Brown shovel, they are available at BrickLink, at inflated prices of course ;-)

As well as not underestimating Murphy’s Law, one should never underestimate my parsimonious nature.

cheapest brown shovels on BrickLink

I’ll take one if they’re less than 50c/piece! And that’s Australian cents, too. ;-)

I recently bought a lot on eBay where the price was nudging 50c/piece, and I’m still getting over the shock! Mind you, they were nice pieces (nicer than brown shovels, in fact), but still... 50c/piece... ouch.

(...) I must apologise! They are under 50c/piece. Having visited his Bricklink store, Martin's shovels are very reasonably priced indeed. I suspect that postage will take it over 50c though... Also, I don't actually have a need for a brown shovel... (...) (21 years ago, 3-Sep-03, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
