    Imagine 6000 bags that's 24000 t shirts they had laying around. 

    I always wonder what they do with all the tour stuff when a tour ends.  It's not like they're 100% sold out after the last show.   I'm surprised they don't post leftovers for sale after tours are done, but I guess they like doing mystery boxes instead.

    Makes me think some may have to be re printed. XL sells out every show way early. And online xL are gone . How can so many be left. Anyhow. It's a hell of a lot . 
    I hoped these bags would have been less in  number because let's face it nobody wants 4 Halloween tee shirts this is all about the hunt for RARE.

    How are people getting these numbers. Is it just based on order number? If so, we are assuming that they started at 1. It's hard to believe that there were that many bags/shirts available. I guess anything is possible.

    Nothing since then. I suck.

    It seems likely that there are a massive number of shirts available. This is supposed to cover 2011-2024 tours. I would imagine for any given tour, they'd need a number of shirts equal to a certain percentage of total attendees, based on experience. Let's say, I dunno, 5000 shirts of each design for each venue? Just pulled that out of my ass, but just logically, they have to have a huge number of available shirts of each design for each show. Some shows will sell out, many will not! So for every show in that 13 year stretch which probably included, I dunno, 200 shows? Again, outta my ass, but let's go with it. You can see how quickly left over stock would add up! I don't think 24k shirts sitting in the storage facility seems like a huge number considering. I actually would guess that there are quite a lot more than that. That doesn't even include shirts made for the shop or Halloween or Ten Club, and on and on

    I think the number is more like 500 per size, based on my first order which was right at the drop and my second order which was 45 min later the Difference in the order numbers was 2500 - the large sold out just after that, followed by XL and XXL, since 4 sizes sold out within the first hour and figuring 3000 sales per hour... My guess is about 500 per size.  During 2011-2024 there was 238 shows, If there were 2 styles of shirt per show, then the full tour, hoodie, long sleeve etc.. call it 3 styles ... that is 714 possibilities ... a few of every possible shirt, would full-full, I would guess a box of each never makes it to the show and is held for giveaways, customer service issues and boxes.. Shit adds. up..

    @craigraether Did you get an estimated delivery date for your package(s)?

    I still just get this. But they did say it would be a few weeks. 

    Estimated delivery

    UPS doesn’t have possession of the package yet. Estimated delivery date will be available as soon as we get the package.

    Hopefully some guitar picks make it into these boxes again. 
    I just hope they dont do what Metallica did for the last few garage and mystery sales. They just threw them into the box, good idea in theory, but the picks would just slide out of the bottom of the shipping boxes, so some ppl would get several and others would find one stuck to the bottom tape of the box. 
    When they do smaller "odds and ends" in the boxes, they're typically in a sealed bag.

    I got two of the same shirts (same package) in one of those sales, which sucked. 

    If it was a good shirt, you just extended the life of it by double.

    I went to a sparsely-attended basketball game where they put shirts on the seats. After several minutes of the game, I realized the seats in front of mine were unsold, so I claimed those two shirts. I could have walked out with more, as did other people, but was feeling lazy. I figured four was enough.

    The UPS tracking number of my “L” Mystery Bag refers to UPS Italy (ordered from Germany)... Well, that's really mysterious.
