The subject pretty much says it all. My local Wal-mart carries the 3770 for around $4.50, and a Sportsman's Warehouse in the next town has the 3700's for $3.29. What are the differences, and is it worth it driving a half-hour each way for the extra (...) (20 years ago, 27-May-04, to lugnet.storage)

My girlfriend and I just finished sorting our collection (somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 bits) about a month ago. We sorted by color first, then by part.

This may be a long shot- but you could try steaming them and then applying gentle pressure. Abs does allow for some moulding. Beware as you do not want to steam it too long-if you warp the studs the peice will be useless. You could build a decent (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.storage)
