Steve (toyplayer@aol.com) 12/29/1998 at 12:37 [RE: how to clean your boxex?] Larry Aikens sells a lunchbox cleaner that I have found to be well worth paying for. It will even remove light surface rust, without hurting the paint or finish. Bryan (bryan@echoroom.com) 12/29/1998 at 13:07 [RE: how to clean your boxex?] Yes, Aikins cleaner does work well. I used it on a metal thermos that I tried everything on. It cleaned it beautifully. It's not harsh like some of the stuff people use on their items. I would recommend it.

I just got my box in today, and it looks great. Usually I wouldn't recommend a reproduction, but this box is worth the $25.00 that it costs. The box will hold you over until you get the real thing. It looks very nice on my shelf, and I glance at it wishing it was an original in that condition!

Olive Bryan (bryan@echoroom.com) 1/22/1999 at 18:45 [RE: 1986 Transformers Lunchbox] I don't know why the dates are different, but I have the same dates for my Transformers kit. I think they were just using the original copyright for the thermos. This thermos was also the same for the plastic box I believe. The lunchbox, being manufactured after the inception of the transformers, probably just got a later copyright. That's like on ''Peanuts'' stuff. They display like 5 copyright dates.

The Aiken book and others show a cream colored cup, but I have seen a couple of red cups from different people selling on line. Does anyone know if KS made two different colored cups? Thanks Bryan (bryan@echoroom.com) 1/23/1999 at 22:34 [RE: Campus Queen Thermos Cup 1967] The Campus Queen thermos was originally made with the "cream" colored cup. From time to time I also see thermoses with different color cups on eBay. This is mainly due to the fact that they would rather sell the thermos with a cup than without. Other times people purchase the thermos thinking that they have the correct cup. By viewing the same items on-line, you can usually find the correct color, just by viewing each item and noting the color of the cup. Or, just get some books from the "Books On Boxes" page!

You may remove the rust stains, but once the rust starts, you can only control it, and make sure it doesn't spread anymore. Some people also don't like to use water to clean a dirty box. My Flintstones box I have was very dirty, and really there was only one way to start cleaning it, with some soapy water w/ a little dish detergent. Don't use any harsh scrubb brushes or pads, just use a soft sponge. If you use water, I recommend wiping it down thoroughly, and using a hair dryer to dry up any moisture that might remain after you clean it. Moisture is your number one worst enemy. For boxes that just need a cleaning, I found that Goo-Gone works great. I use goo-gone with cotton balls, Q-tips to clean every inch of thte box (it also leaves the box smelling citrus which is a nice fragrence. the smell will wear off) That usually gets the box sparkling. I also use Larry Aikins cleaner as a final step on the front and back of the box. Any dirt left over is cleaned up. The cleaner did a great job on my Barbie thermos. Always be careful when cleaning your boxes, and please use caution. The methods mentioned above work great for me, but please clean your boxes at your own risk.

Typically, WD-40 protects against rust on metal. If stored properaly, the painted surfaces of boxes won't generate rust if the metal isn't scraped off. So there is really no need to protect the box with WD-40. Also, if there is rust present, the way to prevent the rust from spreading is clean the rusted area as best you can to remove rust particles, and keep your boxes in a dry place and in a constant temperature/low humidity environment. low/high temperature fluctuations can cause moisture to build up inside/outside of the box. Any bare areas that can be effected by rust will. I find that Goo-Gone (a very mild, non abrasive liquid cleaner) can get just about any dirt/grime off your boxes. I also use Larry Aikins lunch box cleaner as a final protectant. It usually gets anything that goo-gone missed. I've been using this method for over a year now, and it works great. Just keep your boxes out of direct sunlight, and dust them off every now and then with a soft duster, and they will last forever. Dan Keelan (dannykeelan@excite.com) 6/28/1999 at 19:32 [DR.

(collecters probably think I'm a moron, but I'm 17 so that should clear up a few things) I got my first one, dukes of hazard, from my grandma so I never plan on selling it anyway, and my second one is a pacman one. Although I don't plan on selling them I was just curious if anyone knew the value Anthony Bjorklund (bjorkwolf@hotmail.com) 11/3/1999 at 21:39 [Star Trek dome] Have a Star Trek dome lunchbox from when I was a kid,1967 if I remember right. Although it is not in like new condition, it is in good shape with minor scuffs and scratches, mostly at corners. I do not have the thermos that came with it. Would entertain any reasonable offers (I have seen it listed anywhere from $200 to $400 depending on condition) and would be willing to make an attempt to scan an image to give an idea of condition and e-mail to any interested parties. Bryan (bryan@echoroom.com) 11/5/1999 at 14:27 [Aladdin Winnie The Pooh; 1967 or 1976?] The Aladdin metal lunch box Winnie The Pooh (light blue border) has been listed as 1967 in numerous books, and on countless websites. One book, however, Scott Bruce's 'Official Guide To Lunch Box Collectibles', lists this book as 1976, and this after some research, 1976 is the correct date.This metal box comes with an all plastic thermos. Aladdin started using these thermoses in the early 70's (as found with Emergency!) and continued until they stopped producing boxes in the mid-80's.If this box was produced in 1967, it would be a metal thermos, or a plastic with a glass filler (late 60's model as found with Land Of The Giants).If anyone was a kid in the mid 70's and had an Aladdin Winnie The Pooh metal lunch box, please e-mail me so I can confirm this date with more info.

Then, I will search for the most perfect specimen of the Jetsons dome I can find. Price will be no object, and with any luck I can find the thermos in the same perfect condition. I will sacrifice many boxes from now until then, but getting the right Jetsons box now will save me headaches and money in the future. I will also be adding some new things to this website.
