Oh, good points. I figured by MISB you meant *sealed* box, but I can
understand using a different acronym than MIB/Mint in Box when we are
talking about MIB/Message Intercept Bases :)
If you are really thinking about scanning/tossing them out <takes pills>,
I'll gladly *buy* them before that happens! In fact if you really don't
feel for them too much I'd be glad to trade quite a bit of useful castle
elements for a few of them (I'd really like an Alienator box to make one of
mine complete). LMK if you're interested. I don't mean to assume you wish
to sell them but I can't get around the way it sounds like you might not
care for them a great deal, and as I have Blacktron 1 Fever I am just making
a proposal :)
In fact, I'm almost more worried about getting the boxes first than the
sets! The pieces will always be around, the plastic can endure. Boxes are
the real victems of time.

A agree totally. And when they CAN do it, but DONT...the cypress tree in
Main Street...thats extremely sad.

That is an incredible idea.
Blacktron 3 perhaps?
Hey, I seem pretty good at surviving heart attacks! BT3 with a similar
color scheme to BT1, only with many normal bricks and pieces in trans
black/smoke would be wicked. Eh...BT2...smiley faced guys that went around
saying "Hey, look at me! I'm cool, cause I got a big B on my chest." I
must admit the pod style cockits were cool and a nice idea, which is why I
wish we had trans yellow octagon canopies.
