I definitely agree about recent catalogs but I would think older
catalogs (and instructions) are likely to catch somebody's interest.
I think my biggest peeve is regular bricks in common colors. Even
new they're generally not worth more than a cent or two so when a
significant percentage of a boxes weight is bricks the bang-for-
the-buck factor takes a serious hit. I took about half of the bricks
out and didn't put any back in so hopefully the mix will be a bit
more interesting for the next person.

There are a fair number of wheels here, too. Sounds like there are
some trends developing as far as what people don't want. :-) I'll
post a more detailed account of what I took and added in the GB #4
thread for those that like that sort of thing.

Maybe people who are interested in these things should post a message.  When a
box turns up with an excess of wheels or regular bricks, it could be sent to
that person next.

Or, when someone gets a box that has "too much" of some common elements, they
can post a message, looking for a recipient who is interested in taking it.

More generally: don't use the Jambalaya boxes as a dumping ground, people!  Put
in stuff which you genuinely believe someone else will value.
