Castle Jambalaya

Post by **rogue27** » Tue Oct 21, 2008 7:39 pm

It's a LEGO set whose first two digits are 60. I used an X for the last two digits to keep it a surprise.

It's in this list.

Space stuff?! What gives?

Weird. Someone didn't read the directions...

Unless I am mistaken, there was a spacy peice when I got it. This peice I use more often for space, and I took a black one of those out for the specific reason to use it for space. I have never actually used this peice as a horse hitching, but I suppose one could......

Just my thoughts

Is it set 6075?

My guess is that he's just messing with you guys and it's really just 6037.

The Jambalaya was hand-delivered to me on Sunday. I intend to mail it out on or before Saturday.

Thanks for letting me know!

I mailed the Jambalaya on Saturday.

If anybody is curious, this is what I took.

Got the Jambalaya today! Some neat stuff, though some people's definintion of 'castle' is looser than others- the firemen and police torsos cracked me up.

CVfan13, it wasn't 6037, and now only Rogue27 and I will ever know what it was...

You couldn't resist and leave it for me?

This looks like a lot of fun, Josh. If you decide to do another one, I'd love to be included!

Well I got the jambalaya today, but I guess my expectations were a little high. In the begining I thought this was a castle jambalaya, but I did not know that aliens, doctors, Duplo doors, and children's books fell under this category. I know that there was great stuff to begin with and I was getting all hyped about it, but at some point along the way someone screwed it all up.

Don't get me wrong I still think it's a great idea, but next time perhaps the requirement should be set on how long someone's been a member, not their post count. Even though it wasn't what I expected I will do it again when it comes around.

What I did take out were the minifig heads (the ones that weren't chewed on), the Good Wizard, a few dark bley parts, and an interestingly heavy black piece which I do not know exactly what it is. It could be a motor, or a battery, or something else, hmmm...

Edit: Oh, and I'll be shipping the box out tomorrow.

Heavy black piece? A 2x6x2 brick right? That would be a boat weight, I imagine. Not a bad piece to find, IMO. Good for trebuchet as it packs more weight in a smaller area.

If the original sender's perception of part value upon receiving the box is way below what they put into it to begin with, this may jeopardize future jambalaya activity.

If someone is concerned with that, there are several possible solutions for guidelines someone could set along with a jambalaya box, such as documenting part exchange or setting a rule to never decrease the value of the contents of the box based on Bricklink prices. Or you compromise and accept that you might get garbage back and opt to use smaller boxes. Documenting, however, would guarantee you find out who is stingy.

That sucks. I can't believe someone would put their trash in this. Shame on them!

yes, but it would also be a pain.

I do enough documenting at work!

: )

For my part, whoever sent it to me loaded the box down. Then again, value is in the eye of the beholer. Perhaps they just didn't like skeletal horses?
