I know I have plenty that I class as junk that others may want; blue train
tracks.... samsonite era flat trees.... homemaker cabinets.... possibly a
fabuland piece or two.
I have been toying with the idea of starting a UK Jambalaya box myself, but
was waiting until I have a permanant address - have just finished at uni and
am currently sitting in rented while my parents are house hunting ;(
My biggest concern about these boxes would be the postage cost, and I have
done a little investigative work on this. Consider the recent Lego choc chip
cookie promotion at Tescos. This 3litre? tin filled with 1x4 technic beams
weighs in at over 1kg, so would cost £2.75 or £3.45 first class. Would you
be willing to spend this to pass on the box even if you had found nothing
useful within it yourself? Hey, but if the box originated elsewhere, i.e.
not from my collection then I guess i'm in.
