This box (started by Christopher Weeks) has sort of fallen through the
cracks in this group - probably because none of the people who've received
it (3 now I think) have posted anything about it!
First off, sign me up for this puppy again! It's huge!
I guess I should have made a detailed list of what I took and what I put
back in since I've enjoyed reading about the other boxes. Favorite thing
I took: a trans-yellow 6x8 plate. Best thing I added: a peasant minifig
complete with pitchfork. But you're too late - the next person's already
taken it (hi Mookie! :-)
How big are the Todd/Larry boxes? This beast weighs in at over 5 pounds!
I was only the 2nd recipient and it didn't get much heavier here (took lots
of white and green basic bricks and replaced them with minifig accessories,
castle walls and what not) so I bet it was close to that when Chris sent it
out.
I may need to start up my own box so I can request it back every 10 turns
or so like Chris did. But for now, everybody should sign up for this one -
right after my 2nd time. :)
