Okey. Thumb Up
I'm just caught up in the excitement, but I think you are correct.

So, if I ever receive it, if I put a boomerang in it do you think it'd come back to me Wink

(Quarantine would probably confiscate it before it left the country Frown ) LOL

But, this whole idea is pretty cool. I'm sure we'll see topics from people declaring that The Mystery Box helped them to complete a collection they never thought they'd finish. Who knows!

Where do you get a 20 sided dice and what would you use it for. Confused


At a hobby shop, and you use it for Dungeons and dragons type games.

i remember the old 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 30, and 100 sided dice Big Grin

Day two, the box has travelled about 800 miles. Where will it end up? Nobody knows...

I don't get it, did I miss something, or do you know where it's going? Or just guessing and providing commentary, lol!

I'm only providing commentary for the fun of it, and of course ribbing a member or two along the way! As Barobehere is a friend of mine, I do know that it's not coming my way.

This is a wonderful idea. I do hope it reaches me.

Will there be a list of everyone it had been to already in the box, so that it doesn't go back to a CTer who has already had the pleasure?

There is a list in the box so that everyone who receives it can sign it.

I made no provisions that it could not go to someone more then one, because the contents(hopefully) will change a little or a lot with each person and If(and this is a big IF) the box was still going a year from the time it started-the box could be 100% different from when it started!

In a year when it gets back to barobehere, it will either be stuffed full of autographs, or pokemon cards.

question

if one of us receives it, should we post that we received it or just keep it secret? Confused

(no i haven't received it, just wondering)

How do we know that you really haven't received it Starwolf?

Maybe I've received it. Confused

Yes! Post that you received it!Scream! Shout! Just don't tell the person you are sending it to-that you are mailing it!

AHA!

Went to the mailbox today to see what it held after delivery! Lo and behold, there sat a small box that could possibly hold 100 cards. Could this be the famous box Barrett mailed out.....? Afterall, he has my address! Eagerly, I opened it up, hoping to discover the blessed cardboard contents.

CRIMINY!

It was a small metal orange juicer sent as some unknown kitchenware promotional. Frown

Willgull is still hoping and looking!
