That's the shirt you were wearing when you showed your PJ shirt collection in tinychat.
That is a pretty cool, shirt, for what it's worth.
I can't imagine him doing that. It must have been a long time ago when he was still Anikan Chud. He's been Darth Chud for some time.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You're quite the mystery box.

The whole thing does scream of "help us get rid of our leftover merch", but all that crap for $75 bucks is pretty good value.

Some of the stuff would sell out instantly, if it was for sale though - Wrigley stuff, SIGG water bottles, Yield era shirts, vs. era shirts, Vitalogy era shirts, 2003 Bootlegs, random vinyl.
Some stuff never would sell.
I wonder if each box counts towards Brad and Tres Mts album sales. Everyone got them.

At least 2 people got the Mr. Potato Head shirt.
I never knew the Planner existed until the Mystery Box pics.

I don't think any of this was secret. This is all the point of a secret box. Tempt people into taking a bunch of worthless shit by tempting them with tiny amounts of totally awesome shit. Even if you get stuff you don't want, you still get $150 worth of merch for $75.

It's been a blast. I've already made 2 trades. I'm about to complete 3 more soon. I've attained all (?) of the 2003 Bootlegs I've been seeking to finally finish my collection. There's a few little things I'm after that I'll be able to trade for too. The trading has been the best part.

Hadn't seen anyone with a Japan 2003 bootleg yet so that was the biggest surprise out of the box. The posters don't do much for me so I expect I'll donate those to an upcoming preparty. I'll wear the tees, so that's good. Though everyone is getting them, I'm actually excited to have the Tres Mts and Brad CDs- I probably wouldn't have picked those up otherwise. I'll find a use for the stickers. I was hoping the vinyl would be something I didn't have, so that was probably the most disappointing "get" of the box- seeing the Angel/Ramblings promos and some of the other singles got my hopes up.
