Mystery Box/Posters/Vinyl

Hey guys. Sadly I missed out on the mystery box because I'm paying for school and have a low pay job. So if y'all can make my dream come true and post pics of y'all mystery boxes here it would kinda make me feel like I got one of my own. And I'm curious to see what's inside of them!

Now they have Mystery Posters?!
Y'all know what to do!

And now we have mystery vinyl! I missed out because of family issues. I'm super excited for all who was able to get a package! Please post your pictures and opinions here.

    You know what man, that is the coolest! I was poor college student once. Ate ramen (real ramen from the Asian store) so I totally get it. Don't spend your money on this stuff. Hang with your friends, blast some PJ and spend your money on road trips! These are the freest poorest days of your life! And they are perfect! Wish I was 20 again! Enjoy!

    If these boxes were supposed to contain some vinyl or really cool stuff, I would have been pissed off due to the US only restriction (I'm from Italy).. but honestly, I'm not interested in anything inside of these (don't collect posters, not interested in PJ clothes or stickers ecc.), and I already collect all of the official boots, so.. I don't care. It's just another cash grab from TC trying to profit from some unused merch.. oh, and they use the term "flippers" when they flip their own stuff on ebay
    before anyone replies, I know it's for charity, it's a good thing.. but they say this is the only way to avoid flippers, and this is pure BULLSHIT..
    for fuck sake, sell your stuff at a fixed price on your own store for members, not on fuckin ebay.. put them on sale at a high price for charity, but don't sell it on ebay pretending this will avoid flippers, because it won't, and again it doesn't benefit the fans
    end of the rant, sorry for ruining your thread

    So, whats wrong with that? They have extras, that THEY paid to have made. Why NOT try to move it. Don't really see the issue. Especially If ppl are willing to pay.

    It's just the way it's done.. these are already sold out, so who I am to say anything? But for example, if I was a PJ posters lover, it would have been better if they'd go on sale individually, not bound to be purchased with some other not interesting (for me) stuff.. plus, I bet many bought these cause they think it can potentially includes some vinyl or rare stuff.. this is not the case (again, I don't know anything, but let's talk about it when people will start to receive them...)

    This thread started off so nice.

    To the OP, like someone earlier mentioned, don't fret over stuff. use your limited resources to do cool things ie road trip, go to some shows at a local venue, or go for a nice meal with friends. Save the $90 to come on up to MN when PJ announces a show here :)

    IMO experiences are way more valuable than stuff which sits in a box in the bottom of a closet gathering dust and is forgotten about in a month. That's me though.

    But it will be cool to see what peeps get.

    Let's get this thread back on track.

    ahah, you're right :) but actually, the little bit of angry comes from them selling stuff on ebay, so this is not the right place to continue to talk about it..
    as someone already said, back on topic..
    maybe some of the boxes will include some PJ condoms from the '96 era (these really existed back in the day, in case you don't know).. in that case, yes, I would have liked one

    I just almost bought one- kinda glad they're sold out tho. After I came to my senses I realized I don't need anymore stickers or random posters! If there were vinyl I'd have missed out though.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    It turns out that unless there are LPs included, I don't really care, lol. Didn't completely realize that until these mystery boxes came along. Even before I realized that they're not available for Canadians (without emailing 10C) I thought, "I only want a big box of mystery LPs.". :P But I do think that the mystery of what will be in the box is fun for people, even if it is just left over crap for the most part.

    Since the OP didn't get a box would he like a sticker? It's part of my Pay It Forward campaign.
