Thanks for the update Mark.
I felt the same way when I had the box and saw the broken bits. Thanks
for taking the time to seperate them into another bag and doing such a
fine job with the packaging (I'm sure Larry would be proud).
I actually did'nt find hardly anything that I wanted, but made a
contribution of some gears, wheels, instruction manuals and small beams
anyway. I wish I had seen the box after you, I would have liked to have
more of those chain links.
I say the next person (Ken) should just throw away the broken parts.
Any others agree?
