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 sort through it, think of your current
and future projects.. take out what you think you might need, toss in
your stuff, get the address of the next person, that might give you
another day or 2, and send it off.. In some respects I can see real life
getting in the way, that happens to us all at some point or another..
And, at the same time, I can understand others taking longer, I wish I
would have with a couple of the boxes, because I sent off things I knew
were in the box that I could use now :( it does take some time for the
idea of what's in the box and how you could use it to really sink in
sometimes :( There's a lot of parts to digest and think about!
I don't believe this project is a failure, if anything it was a learning
experience, and I have to admit I got some stuff I could use, maybe not
as much as what I put in. Though that's stuff I didn't have a use for in
any respect, yet I'm pretty sure someone else would have wanted. I think
it's a good idea to keep it going, Even if right now someone doesn't
want some of the stuff that's in the boxes, you have to remember we have
new people coming along all the time, and they might not have as big of
a collection as most of us do, and could really use some of those basic
bricks to finish something. If there's a box that's turning into basic
bricks, and someone's willing to take those bricks and replace it with
other stuff, let me know on both accounts, we'll see what we can do to
change the inventory.
On another note that seems to be coming up, I think the reason we
haven't seen much action in the boxes is because I think.. I'm not
positive.. don't we have 2 of them going through Canada right now? I
don't believe I've seen any of the Canadian people post anything about
having the box or what they might have taken or put in :( That Tour
should be ending soon though, so hopefully we'll start seeing a little
more action of how things are moving along again!
Just my .02 bricks YMMV

| (...) 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)
