Got my b-day stuff yeterday. I wasn't a 6er and didn't expect anything extra and sure enough I didn't. How many total letters came through so far, two?

I'm sure that at one point they were edible. Who knows how long they have been sitting in a warehouse.

The giant dispensers just dispense a whole package of pez at a time, rather than an individual candy.

Mail truck coming down the street...

I have yet to meet one person who enjoy the crisp chalky taste of a Pez. Also, you are right. No one knows how long those Pez had been sitting around the warehouse...

Inside meh Bowl of Cereal:

6 Bags of red state air
3 Fact or crap calendars
1 Roomba Virtual Wall
1 Cute shoppers bag.
1 125 key Internet/Multimedia keyboard *Micro
1 set of woot lights
Thankkkks woot!

My Bowl of Cereal should be enjoying it's leisurely ride in a mail truck right now since post office updated it was out for delivery. I am going to run home on lunch and pick it up along with my 3-d 3rd birthday shirt woot shirt.

Wow, got 7 desktop calendars and 2 roomba wall censors.

Oh yeah, and some useless usb lights too.

Thankies woot!

18" shopping bag
3 would you rather calendars
roomba virtual wall
high school musical twin bell alarm clock
woot lights

I made out about average. Not too bad. Best bag I've gotten yet.

Well, as I had predicted from seeing what other people with 0.4lb packages got, my Book of Crap contained the following:

11 - bags of Texas air
1 - deflated bag of Texas air
4 - Fact or Crap 2010 Desktop Calendars
3 - Roomba Virtual Walls
1 - EZ Shopper shopping bag

and lastly

1 - pair of (working) Woot! lights

The casing on one of the lights has a crack down the side, and one of them makes a clicking noise as it spins, but I'm not terribly vested in them anyway :P

I guess I don't have room to complain since I made a profit off of this thing, but I guess it would have been cool to get something that I could actually get some use out of. On the bright side, the standard is set pretty low for my NEXT Book of Crap!

Until next time!

My Bowl of Cereal finally arrived!

Unboxing video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3TSVYHCWJk

Contents:
13 Bags of Texas Air
1 Flat Bag of Texas Air
4 Fact or Crap daily calendars
1 Reusable shopping bag
1 VuPoint Solutions Digital Film/Slide Converter
1 Screaming Monkey with blue camo cape

Yay!

After much patient waiting, my box arrived today! Got the obligatory 2010 calendars, shopping bag, and a Roomba wall (need to see if it works with my previously Wooted Roomba), along with a couple of USB cables.

BUT.........

NO WOOT-OFF LIGHTS!

I really wanted a set, but I guess I'll just have to wait for the next Woot-Off, hitting F5 in the dark.

Still fun... Thanks Woot!

You should contact service@woot.com. You ordered Woot-Off Lights, you should get Woot-Off Lights. The crap was a bonus, but not the product you paid for!

My lovely Banjo of Consternation has been handed off to the USPS in Berkeley. It's even been sorted! Still no change in the weight and dimensions so I'll still looking at a 12.9 pounder. Now to wait anywhere between 0-2 days for delivery!

My next question is, does PEZ have an expiration date, and also how can you tell they go bad?

got my first Bowl of Cereal today, 12.2 lbs in a box 27 X 17 X 10. Happy B-Day Woot!!

31 Bags of texas air
4 Fact or Crap Calendars
8 Miniature Dump Trucks
1 Roomba Virtual Wall
1 Set of Woot Lights(Glad they work.)
1 Shopping Bag
1 Digital Camera Medium Duty Tripod

How did the Woot folks know I have problems taking a steady picture. Thanks Woot!

Mine has arrived and I have the best BF ever, cuz he didn't make me wait to open it! :-)

I received:

The lights
1 shopping bag
6 Fact or Crap 2010 calendars
1 box (an 8 pack) of mini "matchbox" garbage trucks
AND - drum roll please - 1 Philips DVD/VCR Combo, complete w/cables and remote and, gosh darn it, it works! Perfect for the bedroom, says "renewed" on the back but it has a couple blemishes, so I'm guessing that's why it was deemed craptastic. It's not blueray, but I don't care!

THANK YOU WOOT!! You, as always, are Woottastic and Rock The He** on!

Edit: I cannot wait to see what the letter receiver(s) get bestowed upon them by the Woot! gods!

Edit again: 19.7 lbs

mine arrived today, it was 7.5 lbs.
1 set of working lights
1 woot blue camo monkey
4 fact or crap desktop calendars
11 bags of air
1 ribbon glider airplane
1 ugly shopping bag.

IT was fun.

3 "Fact or Crap" 2010 calendars, 1 3-D 35mm 4 lens camera, 1 Pirates of the Caribbean purse, 1 reusable grocery bag and the wonderful WOOT lights.

Exactly the same as mine.


Has anyone used the camera yet?
It says no equipment is needed to see the photos.
All my fathers pictures, and mine when I got older and borrowed the camera, are 3D.
You needed a viewfinder and eventually nobody knew how to develop them.

Is film even readily available to even try it?

Okay so my box should be arriving any minute....... I am anticipatorily waiting as patiently as I can....... you could cut the tension with a knife.

Smart post is so amazing, it's been 19 hours since my Blatantly Orange Crayons left Massachusetts and it hasn't landed anywhere in New York; supposedly.

They take standard 35mm film. It takes 4 pictures at once across 2 frames. The film requires special processing to make 3D. The only place I know of that does it is Snap 3D in Toronto. I believe what they produce is called lenticular photos. (I haven't actually tried it yet, seeing as I got my cameras yesterday.)

And no, after you get it developed, you don't need a viewer or glasses or some other funny gizmo.

If you don't want to send your pictures all the way to Toronto, I hear that if you take the outside 2 photos (of the set of 4), you can use them in other 3D systems (gizmos, glasses, etc).

Well looks like it's out for delivery now. I won't be able to receive it in person so hopefully they can either leave it or I can pick it up tonight.

akakin wrote:For all you new 3D camera owners, you CAN still get regular film processed. Regular meaning normal 35mm print film you buy most anywhere. The place that processes them is at http://www.snap3d.com/ Be advised it's not cheap. The camera is a four lens design and 4x6 prints will set you back $2.80 each. For 18 prints (from a 36 exposure roll), that comes out to $50.40. If you settle for using a handheld viewer, you can get those, but you will need to use slide film.

Ahhh, thankyou!

Did you do it? What do they look like

richnorto wrote:WOW! You are so unlucky! Your replacement, if they can't follow up and resend this one will be a box of calendars, shopping bag and a 3D camera!
Oh yeah, that's what I got!
Seriously, hope they can get it straight and get your big box of goodies. Call the P.O. and see if you can catch it before they send it back!

Grumble, grumble, grumble.
Can't get them to send it to me, once it has been returned to sender, according to USPS. Word from woot support is that I will receive a replacement. That seems like trying to change my destiny. I was destined to receive that 23.1 lb. Bacon Oil Crunchers. Somebody over there just finger-faulted a couple of digits off my house number, so it got redirected back to them. I appealed to turn it back around once it reaches their offices, so I get the Box Of Chianti that God intended.

Looks like I get to be last to open my goodies this time.

I received my Woot! Off lights a few days ago, much to the delight of my 5 and 7 year old kids.

My 5 year old decided he had to make a "Police Castle" and recruited my 7 year old for some artistic assistance. They made the below completely by themselves. I got quite a kick out of it...








Thanks Woot! and Happy Birthday!

Here's my guess on what happens. Woot! gets the box back, cracks it open, throws a few more calendars in, then slaps a new sticker on. The end.

Dang, nice haul!!!

Received my box, pretty standard really. I will list contents and post a pic later. I feel like there are creatures lurking to come thieve it away from me.

D**M! Fedex tracking updated my status to "Damaged, unable to deliver shipment". My first Bottle of Cornucopia has just turned to dust!

*sigh*. Mine was to arrive tomorrow, but now that it has made it to Phoenix, it has been rescheduled for Monday.

My Bowl of Cereal is about a hour away from me now, hope to get it tomorrow or sat...
updated size is 12.2 lbs - 18.2 in. x 13.2 in. x 12.5 in.

Any guesses as to whats inside...

Congrats! That's two letters down now. Probably at most only one more letter out there. *fingers crossed*

smilingjack wrote:Ahhh, thankyou!

Did you do it? What do they look like

Well, I missed out the camera in box of cereal. Actually, I was surprised that they forgot to put the lights in mine. But that's not important.

The pictures from this camera are printed on paper that has a lenticular screen covering it. This is the stuff that you see on some cards that you can tilt left and right and see different images. It does work, but you get little vertical ridges on the print.

The good news is that it takes virtually any 35mm film. The bad news is there is only one place left that develops it, and it costs $2.80 per print. That's painful.

But I still wanted one of these to try out. (I used to do a lot of 3D and darkroom work). When you take the picture, it actually produces four images on the film. But, here's the trick to make your camera sort of useful.

Use slide film. Tell the process folks to NOT mount the slides. Just get the roll back. For each of the four pictures, cut off the far left and far right images. Place them into 3D slide holders. You can get those for about $4 for 30 of them. Then, you can place that in a viewer (check ebay for 35mm 3D viewers. They are there). Then you get decent images. Better than the old viewmaster reels because the film is bigger.

If you really want, you can use B&W film and make small prints from the outer two images. Those can be placed on a card and placed in the old style 3D viewers you see from the early 1900s. That works too.

Can it work? Yeah. Worth it? Your call.

You know no one will believe you without a picture;) But seriously, where's the picture.
