I don't think I saw Bucky Balls on this Woot-Off, but if they're in your Bag of Cuuuuuute!, don't eat them.

Hmm, so I shouldn't have used them as a replacement for those shiny ball cake decorations?

Time to make some phone calls.

Contact Woot. You were shorted one crap.

Although my package has magically gained 2.7 pounds. It's now 3.7lbs. 14.2x10.2x8.6

2.3lbs...although it sure didn't feel like it. I am not sure where to find the dimensions!

It makes an excellent gift for out of state relatives!

When clicking the tracking number my still showed in Houston at the time of delivery. When checking myfedex it should left Houston. Of course roommate had to call and tell me it was in or I would have thought still in Houston or on its way.

So, the crappy bag doesn't count as part of the 3 crappy items?

Mine just arrived:

1 Blue tote bag
1 small laptop bag
1 Snuggie type blanket
2 XL brown t-shirts
1 Cafe Bingo game
1 box of paper clips that have the word crap on them in different langueages



*Marlboro pack not included

I. Thou shalt expect nothing beyond ONE bag of some kind and THREE crappy items.

Or a Universal Remote - like the Harmony series from Logitech.

When they work, they work well. If they don't work, well, calling Logitech's tech support is almost an exercise in futility unless you manage to attract the attention of a managerial type via Twitter or blog.

I hope I am too, I personally hate fed-ex... I have had 2 issues with them, AND my last Bag of Cuuuuuute! didnt get to me until a week after my estimated delivery date.

one time I had something shipped that needed a signature, so I came home... signed the note on my door, left it. Checked the tracking the next day and for some reason it was out for delivery in California (I live in Philadelphia).

Another time they left a TV that I ordered in my backyard behind my front steps (uncovered) without a note on my door, and I found it by accident 2 days later, and the tracking number was never updated.

GOOOOOOOO fedex !!

useless rant over

Prepare for emergency saucer separation... Make it so.

Just got mine!

I got

5 x AAA batteries
6 x AA batteries
1 x XL brown shirt
1 x USB SMASH button
1 x Cafe Bingo
1 x Spit ball Dart Pad
1 x Skil Utility Knife Set

Thank you for the randomness! Best Barrels of Crud I've had in probably 2 years!

LOL you were right. It just updated to out for delivery! I think I'll have a nice surprise waiting for me at home tonight.

Okay, hubby opened mine and sent me photos on my phone.

1 - spitboard dart game
1 - night vision goggles
2 - blue duffle bags
1 - bingo cards
1 - woot 2012 calendar
1 - xl grey t-shirt
1 - UNIDENTIFIED ITEM - red, 5 of them, in a plastic piece, looks like the back was ripped off... this would be the crap

Everything else seems pretty awesome!

When you post your haul, please post the weight of your box and dimensions if possible. Just curious since my Baby of the Cosmos is sitting on my porch...and I'm at work.

Here are the unidentifiables. They say ring zing and are like thick rubber bands.


BTW, the weight on my box was 4.8 lbs.

Barrels of Crud arrived in Wisconsin.

Ultimotion, iContactPro, and a duffelbag. ...does the bag count as a crap?

Nope. You were shorted a crap.

Personally I think the Harmony One is work of beauty (unless you need RF, and there are other models that do that). The only thing it wouldn't do for me was control my PS3, and that is Sony's fault for making it BT only. There's a Logitech-made IR-to-BT adapter just for the PS3 that completely fixed that problem.

I think they're the ammo for this:

Tracking shows that mine arrived at FedEx Location Phoenix this afternoon. Depending on when it gets into the USPS system I'll either get it Saturday or Monday (the projected day).

You are correct. Here it is with the packaging still on it.

Good eye .

Thanks, guys, for the identification.

Now... do I need to go and order the gun ?!? or just toss them?

Got my 2.6 pound box today. Here's the contents:

• Decisions spitball dartpad http://amzn.to/wyLLxF
  
• Gwen's Nest recycled tote bag
  
• Hulk USB smash button http://gizmo.do/AcjjmC
  
• Mustard color XL Jerzees t-shirt
  
• Six bags of Texas air
  

ah, the good ole Texas air!

Mine has arrived. Will open when I get home, thanks to my girlfriend who picked it up from my apartment office. Will post contents later this evening. Might even make a YT video since it's my first ever Barrels of Crud

woot!

5 Spitball Dart Boards
1 Hulk Smash USB Button
1 20pk of AA batteries with 9 batteries in it
1 Cafe Bingo
1 XL Green Shirt

Not bad for first Bag of Cuuuuuute.

Wife called - said something arrived from Woot. Methinks it's time to go home. She was kind enough to not open it (I think).

You got night vision goggles? that is cool. Are they the spy kids type toys or are they like real heavy duty type like at a sporting goods store? Either way this is first rate awesome crap. Col. Crap has come through, it appears. I wasn't able to get through, but I am keeping a close eye on this crap.

Mine arrived today! I have compiled some obligatory kitty pictures...



My cat Root started helping me before I'd even had a chance to see what was in the box...



The crap was instantly more appealing because there was a kitty inside of it!



Excuse the blurry picture, buy my 6lb box of crap contained the following:

1 Ultimotion game
2 Crappy blue duffel bags
4 Crappy singing greeting cards (which scared the cat!)
1 Random tupperware container
12 Texas air



Of course, Root the helper wasn't satisfied until it had all been thoroughly investigated.



And last but not least, my shy kitty Echo decided to come up and do some investigation of her own once Root gave her the all clear.

That's it!

Same fake wii thing
2 capes (no monkeys)
Small lock and lock container
Ear plugs or foam bullets
Some sort of Borg cube model. It seems to be missing parts. It came with dead batteries. I put new ones in. Still nothing. EDIT: yep it's missing the bottom of the stand. It's useless.

Crap received in central PA.

1 Ultimotion Swing Zone Sports video game
1 Eco Highway Water Bottle
1 Recycled PET tote bag

You know, you can buy the monkeys without capes and put the capes on. The rare and valuable part is the cape. Not that they are either rare or valuable.
