I've an unopened case from Guatemala, and one from Sun Valley, both of
which I'm now going to place in a safety deposit box for retirement.... ;-)

If Adager is going to re-release the cubes, I would hope that there will be
some 'slight' change in the new release so those of us who are collectors
of various HP community memorabilia (I also have 1 of every Interex conference
attendee bags since '84 in mint condition...) will be able to differentiate
the various different issues of cubes.....  It also wouldn't hurt the value
of the older ones I have... ;-)
