Anyone know anything about these? They are featuring a Pearl Jam and an Eddie Vedder box.

    It seems legit to me. It's run by Bompa.com which also does merch for Blink 182. Also, it's not ridiculously expensive so I figured I'd take a chance :) Being the merch whore that I am.

    No XL so I'm out. Otherwise looked like a good deal.

    Also it is a small bit of potential mystery box fun for people outside America - so I am in too.
    But for a less hilarious $76.30 with the added shipping cost.

    It looks like they have XL (its a drop down menu for sizing)

    It's could literally be pronounced Fuck You Box (good fortunes...)...and unless you're a small, they're gone.

    The fact my order email didn't pass the naughty word filter almost makes this purchase worth while before getting all Brad Pitt and worrying about what's in the box?

    Just got notification that my fukuboxes shipped (got an EV and PJ large box). Anyone else get a notification? This should be interesting. Would be cool to hear what people got (for future reference if they do another sale).

    Am I the only one that sees 'fuckbox' in the thread title? A new insult perhaps?

    Fukubukuro (福袋?, [ɸu͍ku͍bu͍ku͍ɽo], "lucky bag", "mystery bag") is a Japanese New Year custom in which merchants make grab bags filled with unknown random contents and sell them for a substantial discount, usually 50% or more off the list price of the items contained within. The low prices are usually done to attract customers to shop at that store during the new year. The term is formed from fukuJapanese (福, meaning "good fortune" or "luck") and fukuro (袋, meaning "bag"). The change fukuroof to bukuro is the phenomenon known as rendaku. The fuku comes from the Japanese saying that "there is fortune in leftovers" (残り物には福がある). Popular stores' fukubukuro usually are snapped up quickly by eager customers, with some stores having long lines snake around city blocks hours before the store opens on New Year's Day. Fukubukuro are an easy way for stores to unload excess and unwanted merchandise from the previous year, due to a Japanese superstition that one must not start the New Year with unwanted trash from the previous year and start clean. Nowadays, some fukubukuro are pushed as a lavish New Year's event, where the contents are revealed beforehand, but this practice is criticized as just a renaming of selling things as sets.

    No way, I am truly sad about our missing emojis... It is like all the joy has left my life...

    Well, that might be overstating it, but hard to express without an emoji! Hahaha!
