I’m posting here so I don’t revive either of the old threads and confuse matters. My package from **Evilbeth** finally arrived. **Evilbeth** mailed it June 29th and it must have arrived in the last three days, so it took nearly two months! Oh and the post office had also been so kind as to already open the package for me. :rolleyes: The package held a brand new pop up video trivia game. Also enclosed, three mickey mouse lollipop suckers, three tiny fabric strawberries and a file of ad slicks for a Fred Savage movie. ---
