This is for the recycling set... If you have two liter pop bottles, and some of them are made by different companies, then it is a good bet that the bottles came from different factories...for example, Coca-Cola as opposed to Sam's Choce or Pepsi. (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.storage)

There is also the problem of whether you're continually rebuilding and unbuilding a model, to consider as well. If you're doing something like taking several hundred pieces apart in order to construct something totally different, then you're likely (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.storage)
