Hi all,

I've recently purchased two smallish LEGO collections.  I've also been
thinking about how to push the Jambalaya idea a little.  Some of the
boxes that I could start if there is interest include:

A box full of various plates where people take plates and replace them
with tiles and slopes.  When you get it, you can't take the tiles or
slopes, I get those when it comes back to me.  The idea is to try to use
the Jambalaya process to convert x to y.  It would be interesting to see
if when I got it back, I thought it was a good trade.

A similar box in which I was trading wheels, axles, and related elements
(I have a big variety of these from the past 20+ years) for something
else.  (Clear bricks?  Windows?  Minifigs?  Sharks?)  Ant ideas?

And a 'game' box where there are a list of rules like "If you take out a
frizbit, then you must replace it with barfos" or something and where
after trading with the box - following the rules, you choose one of the
rules, mark it out with a pencil, and write a new rule designed to
improve the box.  Not only would it be interesting to see how trading
worked, but we'd get to see a progression of rule changes.

With my current box that's floating out there, I'll start tracking the
recipients on a web page and I'd do that with these as well.

I'm willing to start these if there is interest.

(...) My initial reaction is that this wouldn't do very well. It would be cheaper for a given recipient to trade for the specific plates they needed rather than send a whole box onto the next person. Also, the selection in the box will diminish. I (...) (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) Oh, and there was another one that I left out (brainfart): A box of decorated elements: Tiles, slopes, torsos, bricks, etc. later, Chris (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

WOW, those are great ideas. I'd play the Game box. Suggest that the rule marked out (and the rule added) be identified with a name. (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)
  Game Box (was: Re: New Ideas for Jambalaya - anyone interested?)
 
(...) OK, so I have a box of stuff set aside and some rotating rules. There are a few rules that can't change: 1) Make a fair trade that increases the value of the box. 2) When you get the box, look through it and read the current rules. Choose one (...)
