I have no idea on the figs, I didn't look at any of them since I have enough figs
right now, and spare parts for a couple if needed.

I know it took me a little longer in sending the box, though that was what I had
talked to you about before sending to Kyle. And then when we did finally finish
our 3 month trade, and I mailed the box out, something wasn't right and I got it
back, and it took me another day to get to the post office to send it out again. so
that can account for some of the time it took.

I agree it's hard to know what to value some things. Though there are many ways to
find out!! I'm sure Chris might not have valued the RCX brick as much as I did
when returning parts to the box. Though I felt I was putting in way over the value
of the brick with the sets I added. In a way I wish I would have left them as sets
going in, though with that many more whole boxes in there, it would have cost much
more for postage than it did.
And.... Where did all the new sets that were in the box go? (I should have taken
pics...) there were at least 10 FULL boxed sets in there. this didn't dawn on me
till now...
