Detroit seems to mess people up just by proximity. Just
look at Windsor! ;]

What I find bizarre is that LEGO would have sold sets that were
not glued at all. Anyone could open these sets and take stuff
out, right in the store. That seems bizarre. Had I been selling
that set, I may have assumed it was sealed, too, since I wouldn't
want to risk tearing glue by pulling on the flaps to see. And
the pieces inside weren't even bagged, so they could just fall
out if the box ever popped open. It's weird..., I've never
seen a LEGO box like this before (that I can recall).
C'mon, where are all you MISB owners hiding? Dave L? John Y?
