At a "Thrift World" store I found a large bag containing miscellaneous parts
from space, pitrate, and castle, and it included most of the parts to a
Blacktron 2 set (6933), which was missing only a few major parts (the shocks
and wheels) and a few minor ones, but I have it mostly together!  I also
traded the Castle people for a bunch of Classic Space people as well!  Too
bad this is probably very rare.

Would you know anything about what happened to the 49er flea market?
