I saw the UPS truck go down my street as I waited for my kindergartner to
arrive, "oh good" I thought "my 6444s are here". I go home and sure enough • a
package is waiting for me. I pick it up, "awful light, must be another box
coming tomorrow." But no, the label says "1 of 1". "Odd" I think. So, I • open
it.  Here comes the sad part. Inside the box is.. (wipe away tears, sniff,
sniff)... 2 Star Trek dolls. Aaarrrggghhhh!!!

If it makes you feel any better, I can tell you what PROBABLY happened to
your box, as it would be quite a common occurance, especially for anyone
that ships in volume.

I'd imagine that at the same time you opened your box and were disappointed
by the "dolls" that the person who was expecting those dolls was looking at
a box of 10 Outback Airstrip sets and was just as confused as you.

Yeah, no doubt about it. At least that person will be able to get their dolls
right away, since they are still in stock.(At this point, I can deal with not
getting my Lego - barely ;-) it's the trouble of getting it all straight that I
dread.


Although I've not done this with my lego auctions, when I used to work in a • shipping
department this was a common occurance.

I left a message on KBs Star Trek board, and their moderator said it was
probably a problem with their "tractor beam"...I had to laugh. "Tractor beam"
sounded so Star Trekkish to me :-)
Is there a conspiracy at KB to get me to be a trekkie?
No, No Never!! Although...after close to 30 years of trying I finally was able
to get my fingers to do that salute thing they do. First put the pinky and ring
fingers together, and then swing the middle over to the index...I was so happy
when I figured that out I did it all day :-D
