I would so have been bragging right now. It is so fun to recieve, especially when you don't expect to ever see it darken your door.

'Tis true! I was really busy and didn't check my mail until the day before I left for Wizard World. I wasn't expecting anything so was flummoxed as to what the package could be as I went to the office to pick it up, but when I saw the return address I thought, "Could it be?". And it was! Ironically, I had just e-mailed Wendi about putting my name in the address permission topic, saying "Now maybe I'll have a chance of getting it."
I took about a half dozen assorted promos and chase cards and put back in a ton (well, maybe a couple dozen) assorted show exclusives and other weird stuff (I found out I seemed to be missing cards 11 & 12 from the
Signs movie promo set while filling the box) along with a duplicate autograph card.
I haven't decided who to send it along to, but I hope whoever it turns out to be has a good time and finds some stuff they need!

Why would your postman need to look out for it? Unless, of course, your postman is coming here!

TheUberBobI finally got the box mailed off yesterday. I had it ready to go, but as I was leaving I noticed a small stack of odd sized cards I'd forgotten to put back in the box so I had to open it back up, put them in and reseal the box. Later when I got home I found that when I put those cards back in I'd taken out the sheets with the rules and the sign-in list so now I've got to mail that out separately!
D'oh!

tsmeltzerImagine my surprise whan I got home this weekend to find a box from Bob waiting for me. I said to my wife "I have to check which one of my trades this is for." I opened the box and found a plethora of cool and unique cards... it took me a good solid 5 minutes to figure out it was the MYSTERY BOX!!! I found the letter that Bob mentions above a few minutes later, and that confirmed that I was the proud, pleased, and surprised recipient of the Spawn Box. I have already gone through the whole thing, and I pulled 9 promos that I needed. I put back 12 promos that I am pretty sure weren't in there and one Autograph. Now I just have to figure out who to mail it to next and how to find their adddress.
Thanks Bob!!!

To answer both yours & Tim's question - Wendi has a list of those who have given Harris/NSU permission to give out your address solely for the Mystery Box.
Go
here for the thread I know I'm on that list *hint hint*
