  Is Jambalaya a dismal failure?
 
Why are we seeing so FEW updates from so MANY boxes bouncing around to so MANY people? I can understand not having the time to write up an inventory of swapped parts (I don't have time to do that), but I can't understand not having 30 seconds to (...)

  Re: Is Jambalaya a dismal failure?
 
(...) Apparently many of them are circulating without posts being put here. I've got Junk Box #1 in hand, plan to mail it Monday. Junk Box #2 and Minifig Box #2 are on their way to me. I'll be contacting the next of kin for each of these boxes (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) This is why I've never signed up for one. I know I can't guarantee I'd ship it out as quickly as some would like. (25 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)
 
  Re: Is Jambalaya a dismal failure?
 
Thanks for your note Tom. I agree that it is sure frustrating not to see the status. I thought I would send an email to James Brown to ask him how the Canada tour was going with the Technic box and he took the time to send me the following reply: (...)

I think a week is pretty long too, You get at least 3 to 4 days warning it's coming when someone sends for your address, that gives you some time to pick out some stock you've got that you might be willing to put in the box, the box shows up, you (...)

(...) Hey! I posted when I had the drab box and sent it on, and one of the General boxes, can't remember which. I didn't post details of what went in and out, but I did mention a few highlights. Kevin (25 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

Hello All, Mookie <Mookie1@worldnet.att.net> wrote in article <38240F4E.5C5A11C6@w...tt.net>... (...) Well, you may not always get any advanced warning. :) Someone on the tour was nice enough to list out all of the snail mail addresses in the box. I (...)

  Re: Is Jambalaya a dismal failure?
 
(...) That would be my fault. :/ I've been spending most of my jambalaya time co-ordinating the boxes and doing 'background' stuff, and neglecting to tell people about it. I'll try and get better for that, but as has been the case most of the time (...) (25 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)
 
  Re: Is Jambalaya a dismal failure?
 
(...) So, does anyone know where the drab box is now? This one, I think, has taken way too long to get through the Canadian tour with very little updating. Of course, I'd probably not notice except that I'm next when it gets to the states. :) Ben (...) (25 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) I'll ping the people on the list, and find out for ya. James (URL) (25 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)
 
  Drab box #1 (was Re: Is Jambalaya a dismal failure?)
 
(...) Well, I haven't heard back from everyone yet, but I have found out what the hold up was. Basically a case of real life interfering and unlucky timing. It got about halfway across Canada before it got stuck. One of the people on the list was in (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)
