Both are good sets. As much as I think the Ninjago temple has promise. I think the fishing store has a better and more useful parts allotment. However it might be easier to pull more participation for the Ninjago set.
I am in for either. Would like more information on how you intend to break up the sets as well, as how you plan to do the buy in. How many sets did you want to get to break up, etc.

To clarify, I'm in for the fishing store. Not as enthused about the temple.

Would like more information on how you intend to break up the sets as well, as how you plan to do the buy in. How many sets did you want to get to break up, etc. I would asking for sign-ups, requiring that we get to an even number of sets. (So if a share was 1/3 of a set, we would need to have multiples of three to buy in). Ask for the money, purchase the sets and start the draft. The exact break-up would be determined when we determine the set, but my intention is one lot per piece (minifig broken up as head, torso, legs, etc). A few of the pieces that "really should be together" combined into a super lot and potentially some piece that has "too many" would need to be split into two lots. The number of sets will depend on the number of lots. Hope that answers your questions.

Just to get some of the formality out of the way: - The draft will be snake style draft. I.E (If we had 6 drafters it would go 1,2,3,4,5,6,6,5,4,3,2,1 and then repeat.)
- Anyone in good standing 16 or over can participate. If you are not yet 16, please PM me for your options.
- Drafters will be paying for shares (part of the set) up front. Money is due before the draft (because I will have purchased / ordered the set before the draft).
- Shipping of parts when the draft is concluded is up to the individual to pay the postage due. This will be a second cost at the end of the draft.
- Once the draft starts, you will need to be able to "be around". Drafters should plan to log into the draft at least twice a day. If you know that you will not be able you should let me know that you will not be around and have someone (me or someone else) deputized to draft for you.
- Second shares will be allowed, but we will be trying to get the max number of people in the draft so the priority will go to getting everyone a first share, second priority will go to the host (me) and then random drawing to people that want a second share limited by we have to get full sets.
Once we determine a set, there will be about two weeks to pay and then the draft would start within a week of the pay deadline.

I have been down with a cold for the past several days, but it looks like the Old Fishing Store is the clear favorite.
I start taking sign-ups. Please specify one share (1/3 cost of set) or two shares (2/3 cost of set). Second shares will be limited per the rules above.
For the record, I am in for two shares.

That brings us to 8/3 shares, so we'll need 1 or 4 more shares to be claimed by other folks for the numbers to work out.

OK, draft membership is now closed. I know from talking to Schmidt off-line that he wants one share. That is a total of 9 shares and 3 total sets that we will be using in the draft.
Please send me $55 per share (shipping will be charged later and will be extra)
Excalibur (2 shares) AK_Brickster (2 shares) Lilcurt (2 shares) Falsus (2 shares) Schmidt (1 share)
You can send me a check or send via Paypal (if Paypal I must get the amount listed, you pay any fees). Please PM me and let me know if you want to pay via check or Paypal and I will send you either my mailing address or Paypal address.
I am hoping to have the money from you by April 4. I will not be purchasing the sets until I have money from everyone.
