Mine was a one strap box ;-). It had lots of wings 'n' wedges in old grey (work
that one out). It was a sweet box of joy.

That box bears a lot of similarities to mine. Old grey arches :-). NICE (not
only the old grey arches are similar). I had less printed pieces though.

WOW! Seems the only consistent thing is the minifig heads. I'll have to try
and get myself another one (my parents say I have too much Lego, since the price
on this was so low, I was allowed to buy it, but only one, they figured I'd
never forgive them if they din't allow me to buy at least one ;-)).
The disappointing thing about mine was the huge amount of pink. OK, so it wasn't a huge amount, but any pink is bad. My problem (or advantage, however you see it) is that most of my collection is from 12+ years ago (some as far back as 40, I believe (definate signs of very early sets)). This means that most of my colour collection is in the original LEGO base colours (Blue, yellow, red, white, black). The knock-on effect of this is that when I get new sets, the colours are far more varied than my collection. For example, I only have about 20 tan pieces, 30 old dark grey and so on. Obviously, this means that these colours are difficult for me to use. On the other hand, I really appreciate the things I got. I am not disappointed with the blank minifig heads really either. I'm thinking of ancient, weathered columns here (feel free to use my idea if you think it was OK). The greebling in the box has been useful as well.
