Really? They were cleaning out the warehouse. What did you expect? Also, what does how long you've been a member have to do with anything?

Could a full sized album fit into a mystery box?

It has everything to do with everything - I was a member of the Ten Club before Pearl Jam was even formed. My mystery box is 80 lbs -- sounds about right for a case pack of bennys.

Wow! I love that hoodie! My women's m is set for delivery Monday. I'd really love one of those!

My box was complete garbage. I couldn't not be most upset. Waste of money.

Good/expected
-bunch of stickers
-Chicago Tour Poster/2009
-Vancouver, BC Poster/2011
-2012 Europe Tour Shirt (Bomb)

Garbage (will trade/send to anymore if interested)
-The Who Chicago show hat (looks like something a grandpa would wear)
-The Who Chicago shirt (bad quality shirt and again, looks stupid)
-Hail, Hail promo (yes, a one track promo from No Code)
-Brad, Best Friends? CD
-Tres Mts CD
-Live at Benaroya Hall promo (four tracks from the album, nothing exclusive)
-2004 Fan Club 7". (Which I own)

No patches, bootlegs, anything interesting. This doesn't change my love for the band, but it depresses me greatly and makes me wonder if they actually appreciate the Ten Club fans (member since 1999).

Is this a serious post or am I missing the sarcasm?

Some pretty cool stuff in there. Hope mine has that "garbage". Did someone force you to buy the Mystery Box? Your good/expected list equals the cost of the box, so how is that depressing?

mine is set to arrive tomorrow afternoon.

Are the posters in tubes or shipped loose?

That's what I'd like to know. Just had confirmation that my package has been repacked. That means a number of things to me.
1) The "mystery box" itself is gone :(
2) The possibility of damage, especially if the posters were just loose and not tubed
3) Someone else got to pick through my box before me (and extract any of the really rare/good stuff!)

OK, so 3 is probably a stretch but I'm still bummed. The only bright side is that shipping will be much cheaper than the $100 I expected originally. But I think, if it could safely be sent in a smaller box, wouldn't the 10C have done that to minimise costs, and potentially get these out internationally?

Ok. Very jealous now in Australia. These look way cool.

Anyway being scarred from collecting vinyl I have to ask do the boxes come sealed?

I ask because if I buy off a flipper I want to know nothing went missing or good things been swapped with crap.

To add to this, does anyone have a pic of their box just opened, i.e. with the contents still in teh box?

The product description does state that each box would contain a bootleg CD, so you have a legitimate issue there. I'd email them about that at least.

AH! people are getting the creepy clown poster )

AND the REALLY BAD Columbus '10 "Dinosaur & Pioneer" poster!!
I'd rather have the Creepy Clown one...BECAUSE:



I ALREADY have my show copy of that AMES Bros. MONSTROSITY!!

I actually kind of like this monstrosity, and would like to have it... But I assume that's because it'd be a great reminder of the first time I FINALLY got to see my favorite band.

Here was my haul. I've never posted a picture on here, so I could not figure out how to make these smaller. The 2011 Canada tour hat, the long sleeve shirt, the bootleg, and the bookmark will get the most use. I still had this Christmas single from when I was a teenager (I assume all fans from the 90's have one), and I already have a Tres Mts CD. But at least I got a bootleg I do not own. The think the posters are Adelaide, Australia 11-21-2006 and San Francisco, California 08-28-2009. It looks like a few people got these. The San Fran poster is signed and numbered, but I'm not sure if that's significant as I only try to buy the posters of the shows I go to (Portland flippers,flip you). The cost was probably the same as weekend out back in my drinking days, so I can live with this.

Everything was packaged well and a full sized vinyl would NOT fit in the 8.5 x 8.5 x 36 inch box I received for the people that have asked.

Very nice! Congratulations on scoring the Three Fish shirt!!

Another update:
Anyway that all the mystery box contents could be fitted into a space 12" x 8" x 2"? Where did the posters go? Looks like I'll be filing a complaint with the reshippers on this one! :(

Boxes sealed?

bazzer

I'd assume the boxes were sealed with packing tape as per normal. It would be pretty hard to open and reseal without being very obvious. Unfortunately, I'll never know because someone else opened my box for me! :(

I thought everyone was also guaranteed a bootleg?

mill070995

The box I received was sealed, filled with all sorts of packing paper, and contained one poster tube with the two posters in that tube, three shirts folded together, the hat, and then a plastic bag/envelope that was also sealed tight with tape. Inside that was one envelope with all the stickers and the Christmas 45, and another envelope with the CD's (included a bootleg). No way anything fell out in transit. Also, the box was spray painted with "mystery box" on the outside to look like the image in the shop, and I sort of felt like a dork walking up to my apartment door finding it standing there. Hope that helps.

My box was supposed to come today, but didn't. (that's what she said) lol
I think they asked for it to be returned and reshipped because they forgot 2 GA tics for every fall show with backstage meet and greet passes.

I have that white 2008 shirt! I wear it to do laundry sometimes.

Also, Bazzer, if the posters are in a tube and they packed the box tight I could see all that stuff fitting into a 2" deep box.


I'm really considering ordering a mystery box when the women's gets replenished and then donating stuff to the wishlist in saint Louis. Hard to say.


I would love a bookmark if anyone wants to sell one! I didn't even know they had those. I collect bookmarks. I wonder if they're sending out reaper shirts from 2008. I'd love one of those too, even in men's.
