    We're planning to do something with a few of the podcast members too, so stay tuned!

    To clarify, does this mean the community is wanting to do online unboxing exclusively or is it only a few who are? Cuz I'd feel weird being the only one unboxing in a merch line.

    I don't have space to carry all 12 boxes, but I am going to try to bring at least 1-2 to open in merch

    @Hingo Want to do a Minnesota meetup and film a dual unboxing? 8-)

    I'm up for whatever but I will save one box for the merch line. Imagine opening it and a dlc pin falls into your hand. On a scale from 1 - Glass Shattering, how loud would you scream?

    @Lazorz I think this might have to happen. Do all the other forumers want to try and get in on local meetups for unboxing (or just hanging out at their own homes/apartments) and we all post pictures around the same time frame? Or, OR, do something like "7 pm your time zone", so we can look at an influx of pin pics the entire evening, and whatever that ends up being for Moon Time.

    Thanks, I was pleasantly surprised to get an Aus pin in my first box (opening order was left to right). Props to merchmistress and the rest of the warehouse team for getting the boxes sent out so fast. Can't wait to see what everyone else got.

    Right? I was expecting them to be mostly lookouts and South pins. Digging the variety.

    I like the general meetup idea. I know there's a good amount of pinny enthusiasts who live near each other, especially in the PAX cities (Seattle, Boston, etc.), and the idea of opening up DSBs with other people who love pinny arcade seems like a really fun time.

    The only reason I don't like the "7pm" idea is because it would be a flood of content at once. I prefer it when I can check the board a couple of times a day and always see new posts and unboxings, rather than having them all at once and then be content dry for a while.

    Either way, I'd like to see what other folks here have to say on the ideas :)

    Maybe our pre-PAX night we can have someone record us opening a blind box each, for those who got them anyways. That way we'd have tons of reactions and such.

    Did everyone get an email with a tracking number? I got my order confirmation, but no shipping info and I can't remember from previous orders if I should have received a separate message.
