5). That feeling when you complete the hand built insert to the Really Useful Box, complete with magnetic strips, neatly typed labels defining where the figures go (and in the case of buildings, a photo of the relevant building) and a neat, laminated, external label defining what’s in the box before it’s put into the basement, to be brought out in ten years time.
