On a related note, what on earth does MIB stand for (in relation to Lego sets,
I mean - the obvious Men In Black seems slightly wrong in this context!)?


MIB=Mint In Box
MISB=Mint In Sealed Box

Neither refers to the actual condition of the box... other than the fact that it
is/is not sealed.

Most people will mean that a set is complete and with instruction when it is
described as MIB... but be sure!

(...) Big Ugly Rock Pieces... as in those grey and dark grey blocks which have a rocky shape, are about 3x8x6 or bigger, used in the western sets mainly. (...) Yeah, took me a while as well. Likewise with AFOL, CRAPP, even LUGNet itself! (...) (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
