Frances,
Firstly welcome of course, and fondest felicitations.
Secondly, GADZOOKS! I have four of the RBRs and none of them in their
original state. Like the Millennium Falcon to come, I fear, the RBR seems
to me to be little better than a fairly good collection of pirate parts,
stuck together in a rather chaotic manner. I mean, it, umm..., well it,
err...., just .... sucks. The BSB on the other hand (as I have previously
waxed lyrical over in .pirates and to anyone else who would listen) is
almost perfect in its native state. I can't imagine why anyone would prefer
the RBR. Then again, I have numerous problems with reality - I still don't
(for example) truly believe that John Howard is Australian Prime Minister
:-)
Make no mistake, my first reaction to someone trading my pirate ships for
technic would be to reach for firearms. Actually that would also probably
be my second to twenty-ninth reaction to this. However, I'd be thrilled for
the net result to turn out to be trading an RBR for a BSB. To wit, if your
other half would care to make such a trade I am sure I can organise it! I'd
even throw in an extra rowboat. And if really pushed, I could probably come
up with a complimentary set of steak knives ;-)

Still baldly going...
