my 3rd Big o' Cosmos was definitely one of my better ones containing:
requisite 1 ugly off white shinny purse
and
Delphi audio system for the roady xt, skyfi, and skyfi2. it is listed as 'does not pick up signal' and missing all cables. hand written on the side 'Tpass and a 1/07 date'....Not sure what I'll do with it... pm me if anyone wants it :D

the best of the box is a Altec Lansing Expressionist-PLUS FX3021 2.1 Speaker System that works and sounds great (est $50-80 online)

Is anyone in the same boat I am... the 3rd item is the bag... is that right? or should it be 3 items and the bag?

From the base of what others got:

0 Monkeys (screaming or otherwise)

0 Calendars (not even crap or fact)

0 Pump (breast, sump, or shoe)

1 white beaded w/ sequins (youngest girl announced that the "wedding purse" is bea-u-ti-ful. Of course, she wont be getting married anytime soon as no boy is allowed near until she's 26.

1 Delphi Audio system

Interesting things not seen in other posts:

1) boomerang helicopter outdoor toy: http://www.amazon.com/Zing-Toys-ZG520-Helirang/dp/B0027IOGNA Listed just under $15. Is AWESOME and will go over with the kiddos come spring.

2) Kalorik combi 6 piece 500W stick blender. This is super awesome and we have already used it. The Mrs. was looking to get a stick blender so the timing is amazing. I can only find the 4 in 1 (five piece on the net), except on eBay - item number 330524513887 that listing has it just under $40. The 200W 5 piece goes online for $40-$70, and the one we got is scientifically shown to be 18.6 times better.

It is way more than expected, and we're just as happy as clams!

Here again, though Woot has sent me something that is really cool, the wife will expect smoothies on Sunday morning now. So, thanks Woot, I think. Again

Bag-of-Crap-02-2011 by exactlyjr, on Flickr

My Big o' Cosmos arrived on 2-17-2011.

Contents:
1 beaded purse
1 shirt.woot calendar
1 package of 2 Aqua Globes
1 pack of Flowering Tea
1 breast pump
1 game controller of some kind
2 screaming monkeys with flame capes
1 American Red Cross deluxe auto safety kit

The auto safety kit is a keeper. Breast pump goes to a relative. The g'kids will love the screaming monkeys. I'm afraid to try "flowering tea"...who knows when it's done "flowering?"
All in all, not too bad. Thanks, Woot.

2 Flame Monkeys
1 Nuby Booby Pump
2 Organic Baby Clothes
1 Black Funeral Purse
2 Water Globes
1 Skill Multi-Tool (nice)
1 USB Circus Cannon
1 Razer Mamba Mouse (DOA)

Not a bad haul, I've had worse) the skill multi-tool is nice and I love the circus cannon. The mouse is a bummer, it's $120.00 retail, but like most Razer products it's crap.

looks like a mini-helicopter remote

I just wanted to state the disney books were nice since I LOVE Old live action Disney films. I've thought about possibly framing some of the beautiful prints in the books.


Though I wish it were more guy themed, I can't complain at all. It is more than some have these days. At least I had the $8 to get a Big ole Creature and for that and the baggie I am thankful.

rothmaniac wrote:How much did your box weigh? I will be way more excited then I should be if I get a roomba...

It was 10.7 pounds.

Got my crap...

2 Woot Flying Monkeys
2 Aquaglobes (both in good condition)
1 Houdini Car Escape Tool (sans keychain ring)
1 Beautiful sequenced purse
1 Shirt.Woot calender
1 Photo keychain (massive storage...2 MB)
1 Breast pump (thought was broke but then was informed only works on pregnant women...not men)

Not too bad

My crap came on 2-17 (box was 2.9 lb):

1 set of (unbroken) Aqua Globes
2 flying monkeys with woot capes
1 ear warmer
1 black beaded handbag (that smells like fish)
1 box breast milk containers

If nothing else, an entertaining haul. Thanks Woot!

A Arcon windshield mounting device and a USB to nib are shown below. Help in figuring out what these are for is appreciated

I don't know about the mounting device, but the USB item is a charging cable for a Plantronics bluetooth phone headset. The headset is put into a cylindrical charging mount (about as big as a lipstick case) and the nib is snapped onto the receptacle at the base of the charger.

Too bad you didn't get the good parts....

Today is a Fed holiday, so no USPS deliveries. Anyone that is still bag-less will have to wait at least one more day...

Anyone smell another Woot-Off in the wind? Or is that just the brush fires?

Fishy.

My long awaited Bag o' Crap finally arrived:
2 Flame Monkeys
1 Nuby Breastesses Pump
2 Organic Baby Clothes
1 Black Sequined Purse (will fit coke can inside)
2 Water Globes
1 Gevalia Coffee Maker

Although I'm very pleased with the cache, as a 2 year breast cancer survivor with a double mastectomy, I could have done without receiving the breast pump. Literally LOL.

Thanks Woot!!

I agree. The whole thing has been rather fishy.

The breast pump doesn't work on pregnant women, either. It's new mothers that it works on. They aren't pregnant any more.

I finally got my Big Orphaned Cetacea this week. This is my first one. The box contained 2 monkeys, set of baby jumpers, beaded purse, water globes, breast pump and one of those Jatravartid Roombas that is going to scare the crap out of my cats. I was all excited over the monkeys. Was hoping for a callendar or 2.

I have the USB version and a plug in version. If anyone could use these items and is willing to pay for shipping and I will send them to you.

Umm...Hammer, screwdriver...anything?

Still dying to know what was in it!

I held off on seeing what other people got to keep it a surprise. It looks like I got a pretty standard haul for this Big Orphaned Cetacea.

1x Delphi audio system with none of the "included" accessories mentioned on the box
1x Ugly white purse
1x Aqua Globes set. One of them is cracked and it leaks
2x Woot Monkeys with flame cape
1x Breast pump (new, in box)

As always, the anticipation alone is well worth the price. And this time, I even got Woot monkeys and some, uh, unique stuff out of the deal.

Thanks, Woot!

Funny catch-22.. However, with no pictures, it didn't happen. I call shenanigans.

Thanks! I wondered about that, with joysticks on left and right.

Ok, well crappy camera phone pic for all to see.

BTW- woot owes me one screwdriver! And a bandaid. Screwdriver remnants on top of crate.

Luckily my monkey was nearby to toss across the garage.

Yep.

Left is thrust/lift, right is directional controls (pitch/yaw...no roll option).

At least next time you get a Big o' Cosmos you'll have the right tool for the job, and wont have to break your screwdriver

Come on, guys! Does anyone actually believe the doctored photo of the fake letter winner? Seriously, who doesn't know how to open a crate?! How long is this going to be dragged on. When you Google "woot monkey" this is the third image to show up...



See for yourself and compare it to the crate picture...



And I'm not sure about the broken screwdriver, but aside from the fact it looks WAY out of proportion on top of the crate, here is a picture of one I think he used on top of the crate...



Come on, man...if you're going to use Photoshop to try to fool all of the Woot! community make sure you have the skills! Enough is enough out of you, and I hope you got what you wanted out of trying to trick us all. Sub-par joke if you ask me. Now the Woot gods will deem that you NEVER get a letter...
