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 separately, but if you're one of the three
people, feel free to send me your postal address. Note that JB#2 will be
heading up for a Canadian tour, so there won't be a lot of progress
showing on Tammy's page.

I don't think there is as much delay as it appears (well except for
JB#2). What I would appreciate is if people would post "hey I've got box
X, I'm just swamped and that's why I haven't done anything with it"
(note that things have been a little hectic at my place or I would have
done more about getting JB#1 on its way).
One thing which may contribute to the slowness: It seems that the boxes
have too little interesting stuff compared to the cost of shipping. I
suspect that this is causing people to not be excited about the whole
thing. I suggest we try and increase the interest of the boxes, and
perhaps pull out things like basic bricks or other incredibly common
bits. Perhaps the junk boxes should be canned also (just not enough
possibilities there), though they could become a haven for mismatched
parts which might make them more interesting.
