I smell a thread update coming.

And yes, we're moving when the lease is up.

Living in Vegas.. one adventure after another.

But the question is, did the tuba playing lead to the gunshots?

Could someone please answer my earlier question?

The special event T-shirts get printed in a big batch, so they don't start shipping until the 8th.

The monkeys, on the other hand, are already flying out of the Wootplex.

WOO HOO! My monkeys have already begun their trip on the DallasChinoLosAngelesKent Express.

Mine shipped as well! Still curious what the torch of crap referred to... perhaps a gift for the first 'x' number of people to order, which is why it disappeared after a while? A Brigade of Campers on the 8th? Hmmmm...

No, but only because I don't allow guns in the house.

I can't believe the water bottle sold out before the monkeys! I thought everyone and their brother would have mass ordered these monkeys as they are the original, real monkeys. Wow! *shocked face*

I agree. I think this is the first time in woot history that monkeys have been shipped while still being offered for sale! This thread is also the most active I've been on the forums in literally years (charter member here).

Wow, the "VERY LIMITED" Green and Black monkeys haven't sold out yet?

So glad Woot is now shipping to Alaska! Thanks Woot! Now I have some new monkey friends!

Is that what you were asking?

Yes, that one. Thank you!

I come every day, maybe twice a day, and each time look at these awesome monkeys. I finally lost control, and had to buy another gang of them. The urge was far too powerful.

Hmm, could be. It is the anniversary of the first $1M revenue day from back in 2005. I am guessing that they have hit several more since then.

However though the Brigade of Campers anniversary is Aug 13 so anything is possible.

The 7 pack of monkeys is flashing; get 'em while they're still shrieking.

The "torch of crap" was indeed a joke, like they're saying now.

they're incredibly flammable!

Pics or it didn't happen.

Oh Bananas!!! I want a water bottle

In for two 5 packs of the monkeys(better deal) to use as birthday party favors. We can also use them for games AND they're only $2.40 a kid! My almost 9 year old is thrilled!YEA!

Moving sounds like a wise idea.

Looks like this monkey couldn't wait for Woot's new Alaska shipping and got there without it.

Edit: I hadn't noticed a monkeyfran had posted earlier. I guess that's the same one. lol

Seriously... we need child size woot capes and hats for Halloween.

Yay! My monkeys just arrived, I was scared for a second though as the Smartpost label said 1 Woot Monkys 5PK when I had ordered the 7 pack but they're all there safe and sound!

Just child sized?

My monkeys are now in the collection!

For the love of all things simian! They're all hanging shackled by their wrists, it's a Monkey torture chamber!

Please, have mercy on those poor monkey souls!

Hey woot, my 5 pack came in before my seven pack.


The 5 pack had seven monkeys in it. If the seven pack comes in with five, I guess that's okay for me but what about everyone else?

My 7 pack came with a 5 pack sticker as well.

As long as the 5(5) is 5 and the 7(5) is 7 then all will be good. ;)

(no, not 25 and 35 packs)

I had heard there was a blue keychain, but I spy a pink one as well! My collection is incomplete!!

The blue and pink keychain monkeys were 2011 CES monkeys and some lucky people got them in their Brigade of Campers last year.

Once again, if you are reading this, thank you, thefenst!

I wish we could get the Athletic Dept. design on a shirt. That's one slick design.

My current guess is that they put the labels on reversed.

I guess I'll see what happens when mine arrive.

or to keep things orderly, just made sure that the 7 packs were 7 and just used all 5 packs labels. Easier that way.

My 7 pack only had six. The green one is missing. Pretty sure he didn't go to Chik-Fil-A, and NASA wouldn't allow me to check the Rover.

Also, I see now the Plus page has been updated to say no Torch. Can someone link me to the class action false advertising signup form? I want payment in cake!

My 5 pack arrived, marked as a 5 pack on the label.

My 7 pack arrived the same day, also labeled as a 5 pack, but in a quite noticeably larger box. lol
