    So HAPPY for you and CAV!!!

    What can I say - the UPS guy was just here. Hubs allowed me to open the box... I did not know the weight or when it would arrive, so it was a complete mystery :smile:

    All I can say is Tenclub has outdone themselves with this one for me. Guys, if you can read this - WELL DONE. You cannot believe how excited and happy we are to have gotten this chance. image

    Today to me definitely felt like christmas and birthday together. The fact that I tried to get work done the whole day too did not make it easier :lol: I feel so lucky and am so grateful. I did not expect anything special to happen when I got up and this day has turned into something that I will never ever forget :blush:

    I wish someone would've took video of you opening your MV package. I/we, would've loved to have seen your reaction while you were opening it and seeing that it was a BENNY!!>But, i/we can only imagine you were losing your mind>LOL!!

    CONGRATS again to you and CAV.

    I did record a video. It is on fb lol I squeaked quite a bit. It was a major rush, I can tell you that. I did not expect the mailman to come. I was just talking to somebody about it. Then I heard a car in the driveway, a door closing. I though "could this be..." Then I opened the door and there the box was. And it was a huge cardboard box, like the Vault ones. I called Cav to tell him that we got something. He said OPEN IT! So I did. Hahaha I could not believe it. I still can't.

    this is like watching Ten Club's version of Christmas morning. I can't stop checking these threads.

    My tabs are, and have been for the past few days....

    UPS tracking page -- F5'ed SEVERAL times per day!!!
    the image of all the records and the count of each
    the reminder that I'm about to get the equal of 5.846 LPs at 180 grams each
    this thread
    the "record store day mystery vinyl" thread

    Holy shit , so many posts to read!!!

    Congrats on the Benny , although i gotta be a bit honest and say its one hell of a coincidence. I hope all the good stuff doesnt go to "celebrity" users on the forum (Dimitris for once since his package seems to be one of the heaviest) , that and the non-us fans getting screwed out of rare LPs because they dont have tracking. but as i said its one hell of a coincidence and if it´s true they rigged the all damn thing which is a shame , as someone stated maybe i´ll start a lost dogs or RVM re-issue threat and get lucky

    Still waiting paciently for mine , it will take a few weeks still :)

    yeah im not taking away her happiness , god i would be beyond happy if i got a Lost dogs , RVM , Sevens box hell even a backpsacer from this mystery vinyl sale to be honest but as i stated its one hell of a coincidence thats all. when all is set and done and every package arrive i´ll give my opinion but up to this point i have this very strange feeling that non-us will get screwed out of rare LP´s just because it cant be tracked and all the awesome packs that have been appearing in the US(yeah there were shitty ones also but the percentage of good and bad is huge so far)...lets wait then

    If it turns out all the decent pieces have been kept in the U.S, they should've just opened it up to U.S residents only.

    Obviously we'll have to reserve judgement until overseas packages start arriving.

    While I am very happy for anyone receiving exactly the vinyl they were wishing for, I wonder about the legality. I can't remember if the sale was billed as a lottery or the word random was used (I can't find the full announcement anymore), but if it wasn't truly a 'mystery' package but instead a chance to get incredibly loyal fans the thing they want most, is that really the way it should work? Is it legal? I did not participate as I had to work.

    Well, the anticipation alone has been worth the $50 + shipping! (Although I may walk back that statement if I get another black Backspacer...)
    Package was scheduled to arrive yesterday... Hopefully today? 2.12 lbs! C'mon Lost Dogs!!!!

    My package was just was 15 minutes from my house yesterday and this morning it is now 4 hours from my house. I guess there is a reason for the way they do these, but damn it doesn't make sense some times. So I guess mine was supposed to be here today, so now maybe tomorrow or the next day.

    I got a colored PJ20 and a 2011 fan club single. Super excited, the records are gorgeous! I didn't have the time to put on PJ20 but I really like the songs on the single.

    For a data point, I'm in Chicago and the package was 3.21lbs. Both records were inside a smallish box with a bit of bubble wrap. The box was inside a plastic sleeve.

    Yeah, you're being quoted and I'm a celebrity :lol:

    I did not make a thread in 2011 because I thought Tenclub will give into my begging at one point and send me a Benny. I made that thread because I realized that the prizes for this one were so enormous that this was not something that anybody could possibly give away as a gift or randomly throw out and that I would never ever in my life be able to justify spending that much money on a vinyl album. I am a normal person. I put my bra on one boob at a time. I am working hard. I try to be nice to whoever I meet. I try to be helpful. I did not aim at getting a rare LP thrown my way for bugging the hell out of a fan community. I tried to not bump it every day because I don't like to be in people's faces, and I always tried to make my entry something fun so it is not just a mere "bump". There were times where the thread was rather dormant. But it always came back again, because the issue is something that a lot of people are interested in. I am not the only person who is posting in it!
    No matter what I would have received in this mystery sale, I would still have enjoyed the whole experience. Because you cannot get it all. We started a Benny fund in a glass bottle a while ago, but life always got in the way and we broke in and used the money. The mystery sale was our little RSD adventure this time because we did not have enough money to go and have fun at the stores. I see this wonderful album that I received not as a "reward", I do not feel like I "deserved" it, this word is always weird to me when it comes to stuff. I try to always carefully choose my words when I write something, so I never used the words "I want" this or that. It came my way, and it makes me absolutely happy.
    I was happy for everybody who got their package before me even though I did not even know where mine was.
    You can think all your theories if that makes you happy. I got one of "5-10" or maybe not even that if they gave it to me on purpose. I hope you all get something good. In Germany we say "If you wanna fuck, you gotta be nice." This works nicely here as well. Have a good day everyone, I hope you all get something awesome.
