Thanks for the tips--I may very well do this, now that I've been officially
warned. :) However, my mother smokes like a chimney, so I'm somewhat inured to
it--most of my LEGO either has never been in her house, though, or it's been out
so long that it doesn't smell of smoke much. Either way, I'll definitely keep
this in mind. Just so long as you're not suggesting diluted bleach or
acetone..."arrrr! me hull be meltin' fast!"
I'm looking forward to it, though. (And I have some pine-sol in the closet, it's
"mountain spring" or somesuch, so it'll be a fresh and delightful Imperial
Flagship!)
best
