Thanks, that was officially the quickest that a Big o' Cosmos had gotten to me! It took the right route too, Dallas > Denver > Colorado Springs. Denver is a bit north of us, but its where our mail goes.

I checked into FedEx for dimensions in case anyone cares:
12.5 in. x 12.5 in. x 12.5 in.
5,9 lbs / 2,7 kgs

Fingers crossed that yours comes tomorrow, full of TVs!

Got my Big Orphaned Cetacea- pretty good one!

1- Screaming Monkey with flaming cape
1- Stainless Steel water bottle
1- Strawberry bag
1- Ear Muffs
AND
1-Eelectronic Indoor Flying Insect Killer

A lot of folks are complaining that the crap is not special enough or the crap is the same as everyone else's crap. Sorry, folks, but crap is crap.

I did a quick look at some of the items you are receiving (and I will be receiving any day now) and find the value of these items is great! Crap or not, you got quite the good deal!

I'm really excited about getting my first Big Orphaned Cetacea that I guess I'm not going to disappointed no matter what's in the Big o' Cosmos.

Crap is Crap. At least it's my crap.

Agreed - I LOVE my CRAP (but I miss the bag with the question mark...)

Congrats. I'm in Austin (~200 miles south of Dallas) and mine still hasn't been handed off to the USPS. Two days for Fedex to take it to Houston. Uhhh, that's the wrong way, fellas.

I'll stay optomistic that they'll meet the estimated delivery date of tomorrow.

I'm in Austin too, was thinking the same thing. No updates since FedEx dropped off to USPS in Houston. Last estimated delivery for me is today (23rd). I'll try and post a pic if it comes today.

I am just outside of Austin and my tracking says it is out for delivery! Now I can't wait to get home. Hope you guys get yours soon.

Doesn't sound like 3 items to me, I'd e-mail them and nicely ask if that is 3 items or only 2.

Still no letter announced makes me all tingly. Mine's out for delivery, I expect to post my list later on (but guesses are all my contents are already listed here).

Got mine yesterday in San Diego:

1 woot! calendar
1 3-pack of aqua globes
1 strawberry bag thing
1 new nishika 3d camera

the camera looks pretty cool, can't wait to see how the pictures come out!

Sadly, no fabulous prizes this time.

1 box of 3 Aqua Globes
1 fabulous 16" Ultra-expand shopping tote - compacts into adorable strawberry
1 Thomas & Friends Percy and the Engine Wash Car wooden railway toy
1 Electro Man multi-outlet
1 Sesame Street Elmo's Cowboy Adventure Building Set

Go Woot!

Here's mine!



All in all, good fun!

It's never been sent in a bag with ? mark.

Finally shows as being at the post office. Maybe tomorrow will be my lucky day. Good luck to my fellow Austinites (and everyone else still waiting)!

My First Big Orphaned Cetacea!

1 Aquaglobes (3-pack)
1 Electroman
1 Elmo Cowboy thing
1 Thomas the Train thing
1 Strawberry Bag

I see a lot of complaints in here...

This is really the gift that keeps giving...

I'll be traveling some day soon, with the 'Strawberry Bag' stuffed in my backpack - and I'll need a lightweight bag to help someone carry their ducklings or something - and whoever it is will be so impressed with my Strawberry Bag that I will be able to trade it for a pygmy goat, or a train ticket, or something really cool I can't begin to imagine right now...

A quick Google search turns up this page...

If it's similar (could be, because this one was/is being sold by Amazon), maybe the software will work.

It has been sent with the Question Mark bag though.

I don't even count three craps and a bag there unless you're counting the AquaGlobes as three individual items.

Send a polite email to woot customer service. This happens sometimes & they will correct the mistake. Nothing to be ashamed about yo.

Once again, I am pleasantly surprised with my haul.



The wife's comments will be in parentheses as she was watching as I opened.

1 x Giant metal bottle (will you use that?)
1 x strawberry shopping bag - opened to give another view (I really like that!)
1 x Electro man multi-outlet
1 x Aqua Globes mini (We need to get some plants)
1 x K'nex Elmo's Cowboy Adventure Set (Only two more years and our daughter can play with it)

Once again the globes are not broken, so I now have 2 medium sized, 3 mini sized, and 0 plants to water.

I'd been considering getting the electro-man if I saw him again... still might pick up another one.

I don't know if I'll use the giant metal bottle since it's the kind where you suck through a straw and that's a lot of work compared to the Contigo Water Bottles that I love.

Also, with my general disdain for Elmo, I'm thinking that might get re-gifted LONG before the daughter is old enough to play with it.

Thanks for another fun Big o' Cosmos, Woot!

Got mine a few minutes ago, one day early.

1) Aqua Globes Mini, all intact
2) Strawberry Tote
3) 180 Earmuffs
4) Tabletop Tripod
and something different
5) Cute Critter "Cat" folding pillow

2.8lbs, 9.7"x 9.7"x 9.7"

Not too bad at all and everything has a use, the dog thinks the Cute Critter is for her

180's Ear Warmers - Too small for my Sasquatch size head.

Strawberry Bags - If caught using in public, will surely get beat up by a gang of local rednecks.

Nvizio Pen Refills - No pens to match. But my writing is so poor even I can't read what I just wrote... much less anyone else. That's why I use computers (and half the time my typing is so poor I can barely make that out too).

Aqua Globes - It took me months to finally kill off the damn rose bushes in the front yard. And now there's buttercups and grass all over the place that already needs mowing. There's no way I'm going to encourage anything else to grow around here!

Suggested (inexpensive) replacement crap list for guys.

Not that I really want to gripe about the crap I got since I am appreciative of even getting a Big o' Cosmos this time around. But here's some suggestions for replacement items that you might consider in the next Big o' Cosmos instead of the "girlie" items shipped out this time.


Item received / suggested replacement

180's Ear Warmers / Set of foam ear plugs (so we don't have to listen to spouse, child, neighbor, dog, boss, co-worker, customer, etc.)

Strawberry Bags / Bags of "Texas air" which are useful as a stress release item to squeeze and pop (if we lose the foam earplugs and still end up listening to spouse, child, neighbor, dog, boss, co-worker, customer, etc.)

Nvizio Pen Refills / Stencil set (so I can repaint the worn off letters on the keyboard and make less typing mistakes).

Aqua Globes / Weed (aka flowers, grass) killer!

My crap came in today

Strawberry Bag
Mini Aquaglobes x3 (unbroken)
Panda Pillow Critter
Earwarmers
Desktop Tripod

Not a bad haul.

I guess I need to get some houseplants for all the aquaglobes I've gotten over the past two bags.

5.2 lbs delivered today:

[1] Reusable Shopping Tote Bag - Folded into a Strawberry ($6.99)
[1] Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Percy and The Engine Wash Car ($9.99)
[1] Mini Aqua Globes - Set Of 3 - As Seen On TV ($11.95)
[1] Kid K'Nex - Elmo's Cowboy Adventure Building Set ($17.95)
[1] Kikkerland UL01 Electro Man 4-Plug Multi-Outlet ($14.67)

Total Value (via Amazon): $61.55

Thanks Woot!

I just got my Big Orphaned Cetacea.

(1) woot! calendar 2011
(1) strawberry bag thing
(1) beat up controller for an r/c helicopter - no helicopter

Not my best Big o' Cosmos but I've seen worse.

Strange... there seems to be quite a few people posting their loot with 1 bag and only 2 craps.

Very typical (for this round) crap:

1 x Giant metal bottle
1 x strawberry shopping bag
1 x Electro man multi-outlet
1 x Aqua Globes mini
1 x K'nex Elmo's Cowboy Adventure Set

My multi-outlet is faded yellow (that old computer color)--it must have been the window / display model. Plugged it in--green LED lit up and it didn't trip any circuit breaker!

Aqua Globes: meh. I water my plants by bucket.

Metal bottle. Chinese splendor (and quality). What chop-shop made these?

Elmo cowboy set? Rock! Son will love it.

Strawberry bag? Hmm. . . Neat; but we'll probably never use it.

Of my ~six bagos of crapos, I rate this second to last.

3/5 stars.

My Bandoleer of Carrots arrived a day early.
3.9 lbs

1 pair of padded fingerless gloves
1 Eco stainless steel canteen-cap not tightening
1 Zillions Smart Bank
1 3 pack of mini Aqua bongs....kit.
1 Strawberry bag

Thanks Woot,I had a good time...I'll call you :/

Just got mine in Austin. Confirmed at 5.9 pounds.

Standard loot:

1 x Elmo Cowboy set
1 x 24oz Stainless steel thermos (Looks old and gross. Don't think I will be drinking anything out of it.)
1 x Strawberry baggy
1 x 3-pack Aqua Globes
1 x Electro-Man Multi Outlet (Has a very aged look to it. Plastic body has turned yellow.)

Thanks Woot Gods!
