Mine never showed, and as it's been a week since FedEx claimed to have delivered it, I wrote for a replacement, which they granted.
I wrote my request in limerick form to amuse them, but I think I just annoyed them more...

Thankfully they are sending us replacements.
Wow, you actually knew what they looked like? Sounds like might have been fun things in there, sorry to hear that.
Mine were snagged by either a FedEx or USPS employee I'm fairly certain. I was home all weekend with sick family and my mailpeople have had to deal with my many many packages before and know to knock/ring the doorbell.
Just got my tracking number. Due on the second, and a 2.2 pounder, so I'm not getting anything super amazing I suppose, but the son and I will still open it with hopes and great amusement while my wife looks on with a look of disapproval =)

"Hey look at the booty I swiped today!"
(sound effect: cardboard box being torn)
"What the f.....! Rub 'n' Color?? A cheap recycled bag?? A tiny little tee shirt?? I risked getting nabbed for this?"
Ha! Excellent point. Suck on that, thief!

I find it curious that someone got a replacement Bag the same day I got my original bag. Hmmmmm, I got an idea...
Hey TPW, My Beginning of Creation seems to have been shorted a letter proclaiming a bounty of additional Crap! Please send one forthwith in order to rectify this gross injustice!
Or at least tell us someone got one and what they got.

Time to post my loot! I was out of town, so I had to wait a few extra days to open my box of amazing crap. I was very excited to have a few unique things this time! 15.6lbs
First the standards:
2 x black and white reusable tote bags
3 x Topsy Turvey Strawberry planters (these things seem like A LOT of work!)
1 x WS Woot Shirt - yellow/how to make Ramen noodles (my daughter LOVES it!)
And the semi unique things:
1 x Carrera RC Agent Black Retail value $87.99! Have not tested it yet, but my cat loves the box, so that alone is worth the 8 bucks!
1 x Ultimotion Swing Zone Original retail $74.99 on Amazon but you can get it new for under 20 now. Still pretty cool gift for some kids without a Wii!
No letter, but one of the better Bundle of Crops I have received! Thanks woot gods!

6lbs. & 14" x 10.2" x 8.6"
All typical crap
-Polka Dot Bag
-iGO Auto8 Car Charger (and of course there aren't any tips to make it work)
-Small Quick Brown Fox shirt (this design was from 2009, interesting)
-3 Rub-n-Color Activity Kits
Not even a baseball card? This is my 2nd Bundle of Crops in the many years of trying and the 1st one had some stuff I still use regularly so I guess I set the bar too high.
wow, i experienced the EXACT SAME thing. I tracked my package and immediately was disappointed to see mine weighed 6 lbs. and more than 60% of people posting on here were saying theirs weighed at least 10 lbs. or more. I guess this is just me being used to having crappy luck but hey, I did buy a "bag of crahp" so I can't be too mad. Anyway I got:
3 rub n color activity kits (which stink by the way since I let my little cousin try it out)
a Woman's Small santa claus t-shirt
and the same exact iGo charger you got without any tips (which cost over $10 each for many of them)
and that wonderful polka dot recycled bag
Overall my first bag of crahp was indeed that, crappy crap and disappointing.
Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.
