Friendly guidelines:
1) Please subscribe to this thread by clicking on the "Notify" option to top right hand side of the box this thread is contained within to keep up to date with the movements of the boxes.
2) Keep in touch - if anything happens, let us know. If you are not ready for whatever reason we can arrange to move you to another point in the list or for you to skip out a round. There is even a case of someone switching from the mainland list to the UK list after moving!
3) Be kind - remember this only works if people put in as well as take out. Be mindful and be fair. Generally just be awesome to one another, as everyone has done thus far.
Rules:
1)You must let us know via posting on this thread that you have
A) received the box
B) when you have sent the box
I will then update the list so everyone is sure. I would also recommend that you keep an eye on where the box is and as soon as it has been sent on to the person before you, contact them to ensure they know you are still wanting to take part and with your address. If everyone does this it should run smoothly.
2)If you do not respond after a week the person with the box will move onto the next person on the list. I suggest that On around day three or four without response to make contact then so that it is ready to send on day 7 should no contact have been made. People out of contact will be placed on purgatory lists and given another chance at the end of the round.
3) Boxes to be kept at no heavier than 2kg - please be mindful of this when putting things in, taking things out.
Purgatory list (people who've not responded, or worse):
UK:
Mainland EU:
Bayushiseni - Netherlands: - STILL HAS A BOX -
Sorry for the delay folks, work has been nuts recently so no chance of diving out to send it. The weight and box I have used was £4.20 2nd class signed for. So keeping it roughly this weight etc does keep it reasonable.
I was planning to ask, are we sending 2nd class signed at 4.20?
I'd be happy and prefer to do that if everyone else is, it means we don't lose the package along the way.
Also gives us a 2kg limit, which means we can put a fair bit in for the next guy in line.
Cheers

Hey guys,
It's Arrived with me and I've filled it to bursting haha.
The box may need replacing as it's seen better days.
Would have done it myself but I don't have any spare boxes.
Will be getting it out tomorrow all being wellbwith work.
Im next to receive the box, but cant seem to get a reply from Painterz on here or via email.
Anyone know his details, or should I jump a person if I cant get them?
Posted today, apologies for the delay
tyriohalfman has posted it to me.
I'll post it to painterz, then it's to you( ranthony) if im correct
Ah, my apologies. I didn't see the correlation between his 2 accounts.
Thanks for clarifying.
Cheers
Ry
Sorry to drop out again so soon, but I am going to have to for the forseable future.
BUt glad it is going well again :D
Arrived today! I have a pretty busy day tomorrow, so I don't think I'll get it back on the road until after Christmas, but I will take care of it as soon as I can.
Glad it arrived safely, a good mix in there.
To think the post office wanted another 7 quid to ensure it arrived before Christmas.
Enjoy!
Cheers
Ry
Box arrived and dug through, a few things grabbed (thanks to whoever put the 00 scale lampposts in there :D )
Nick,
I already did and you replied on the 5th, but I'll send it again just in case.
Gary
Blimey it’s flying round :D
Parcel received, looted, slightly tidied with zip-lock bags (I have issues), added to and shipped on. I will say that everyone seems to be doing the same as me - adding more than they take - so the box is bulging and has tipped over the 2kg limit. There wasn't much in there I wanted, so at the risk of being a hypocrite I think it would be great if people started to take more to get the weight down.
Onwards and upwards.
Yep, also would like to join please.
Happy to add my name to the list when it goes round again :)
Box dispatched to Mr Harwood a couple of days ago, hopefully it's there by now!
Edit: tracking says it was delivered today :)
Yeap - thanks again for bringing this back from the dead.
I am starting to build stuff for the next round, so just waiting on it recommencing. Still have Tyrion's address (unless he's moved), so all is set.
Would love to join in a future round if possible?
Any idea when we're likely to start up again?
Hi folks, apologies, I have been off work sick and unable to even get out of the house. Just some sort of really heavy chest infection. In fact, I didn't really get out of bed much for 5 days. I will try to get this out before Christmas.

Just had a PM from McFonz, looking like we might be getting back to this on the near future
I believe I still have Tyrion's address, so I'm set
Sorry for the delay folks, parcel sent out yesterday. Packed to the rafters.:D
Are we checking that the next person is still active this time around?
Because last time I didn't hear from Ranthony and he was skipped.
(I'm excited this is up and running again. :) )

I have the box, it's starting to show a few signs of wear and tear, will try and find a replacement box for it before sending it on. :)
Edited: And posted onwards. Many thanks all for the Epic sprues. :)
Has got list in the post again?
Box arrived yesterday! I have the kids with me this weekend so will dig through when I can but it may be a little delayed :)
Received will get it in the way asap
Don’t send it yet mate, I’m not in the country. Back on the 4th-5th but I’ll pm you to confirm.
Hi folks, life has it's way of changing, and as such, after this round of the box, I would like to step down from organising it, and probably being part of it too for the time being.
Is there anyone out there that would be happy taking over the running of the sprue bits box exchange going forwards after this round?
Hum.....
If it has gone sing, when your putting together the new box, I know I was dropping out, but let me know and I'll contribute bits for the "replacement" box - feel a little guilty it went missing on my watch.
Glad it's back under way, thank you!
Landed safely with me on Friday; I’ve had a rummage and added some stuff
aircav - can you PM me your address please & I will get the box sent on :)
I assume so if its ok with all ?
I am trying to finish 3 weeks of back to back night works whilst also being dragged into working days so bit delayed posting it on and slightly frazzled - HR will not be best pleased when they see the OT form...
Will try and move it accordingly to Mcfonz?
ok got to get back to it!
Does that mean it's coming my way soon, or was the "list" being reviewed/resorted ?
I honestly don't know, it might be an idea to attract the attention of folks who might not know we're pretty much at the end of a round?
