Since I'm new to this site, I got real courious when I saw this.
What are these boxes?
Are they a Lego bee?
Where someone starts a box, and it goes from person to person each one adding
pieces they don't need and taking those they need?
How many people are in this round?
When did it start?
How do you get on this list?
How many bowes do you have going?
Who started this neat idea?
Can anyone get into this?
If this is not a Lego bee, has anyone thought of starting one? Since I'm sure
we all have some pieces we would rather trade off then try to sell.
I know for some it would take alot of trust to just box up some of our not
needed but valuable legos and just send them off, hopping that in the end we
get back some that we do need. A wish list could be added to the box so that
as it goes around if someone has pieces that are on someone elses wish list
they could set them aside in the box for that person, or just send them
directly, if they find something in the box for themselves.
Comments?
Ideas?

| I hadn't heard the term before but yes, the boxes in question are exactly what you've described as a "Lego bee". To answer your questions: There is no set number of people involved. The sign-up lists just keep getting longer (faster than names are (...) (25 years ago, 31-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

| Although I have sent my box already, it did take me a couple of weeks. My work schedule got extremely busy and made it hard for me to do anything else. That situation also made it nearly impossible to get to the post office as well. LEGO comes (...) (25 years ago, 31-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)
