i.e. the box always weighs one kilo - if you take something out, then • you
have to replace it with the same weight (lead shot not permitted)
this way you know that it is always being replenished (though possibly • with
junk),

    We could always split it into several smaller themed J-boxes, i.e. a
minifig J-box, a technic J-box, a System J-box and a literature J-box.

and a junk j-box :-)

As opposed to what we have now, which is the latter.

Now, bear in mind that no-one out of 29 UKAFOLs actually wants the J-Box,
but you're talking about making five of them?  Where are you going to find
five seperate people who actually want to receive one of these?

The minifigs are all roughed up with missing arms and very few legs, technic
is non-existent, basic bricks are patterned kiddie stuff with a few large
moulded objects thrown in and the literature is all flyers, pamphlets,
instructions for current sets and yet another S@H catalogue.

Apart from burying it as a time capsule, I don't see that there's any other
point in perpetuating this one.

(And OK, so I can't count when I re-edit my posts.  Picky :-)
