I'd encourage all of you who have them to spread them around liberally and share the fun.

They're a great idea, thanks for getting them going guys!!!

I wish I could say it was my idea, but the credit goes to Barret and Wendi... they aren't around as much as they used to be, but their legacy lives on!

I have sent the Logans Run box onto the next person.

I hope they enjoy it, it is someone who to my knowledge has not recieved any of the boxes before.

Well done oh Hairy One!

Hi SciFiMom:

Just send me an e-mail with the name of the member you would like to send the box on to. That's what everyone else does. Assuming I have his/her address, I'll e-mail it back to you. My e-mail address is in my profile.

Thanks.

Harris

Where's all the boxes at?

Who got em?

Are these boxes still around?

Would be a miracle if i received one as I don't think i've ever traded or sold to any of you

Congrats to whoever the next luck receiver is, if there still out there anyhoo

Any news on the Mystery boxes?

Hope there not all stuck in Terminal 5

The MYSTERY is where they are.....

the mystery box is deaf. He can't hear your questions.

Are these boxes still going around? I received one almost a year ago and found a gem of a card- one I didn't even know I wanted.

I hope they turn up around my side of the states. Wouldn't mind getting another one

It's been months since the last one surfaced, are they all lost???

To the best of my knowledge the 3 Eurowolfie boxes are with.............

Sci-Fi Mom

Kadran

If they are not please let me know.

Well, it lasted almost 4 years.
I think once multiple boxes started flying around The Mystery Box lost a bit of it's charm and the rapid increase in postage cost helped killed the boxes.
Still, I was glad I started it all those years ago.
Maybe I should start something different and new.

Don't be too hasty, i think we are still up and running.

Well, Barrett, it was a fantastic idea on your part. Really true to the spirit of 'trading' cards. I got it once, about 3 1/2 years ago I think, and I LOVED it, so if you do start something different and new, I look forward to it!

Barrett...I too received the original mystery box (I believe I was the 2nd peron to ever get it)and patiently waited for oh so many years to get another and put oodles of cards into it. Alas, it appears that they are gone and forgotten by most. I have now transferred ownership of the majority of the cards I set aside for the box to my kid and his buds. However, as the above poster stated, if you are to start something new, please count me in. Such a shame that a fantastic idea was not carried on as all who signed up for it/them agreed to do.

I don't understand how this could happen. Perhaps one box might get lost in the postal system, but surely not all of the disappearances can be attributed to the same cause.

If someone signs up to receive a Mystery Box, they get the privilege of exploring its contents, but they also assume the responsibility of sending it on in a timely manner to the next recipient. Don't sign up for the privilege if you're not going to accept the responsibility. If you don't think you can afford the shipping cost, remove your name from the list.

I'm sorry, but this REALLY irks me. Barrett worked long and hard to create something really special for us and this is how his efforts are repaid?
