Since I won't be getting to pax this year, I don't need a ton of new pins (filthy casual here) so I'm gonna keep it modest with two of the new bags and one New Years Pin. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!
Fukubukuro (福袋?, [ɸu͍ku͍bu͍ku͍ɽo], "lucky bag", "mystery bag") is a Japanese New Year custom in which merchants make grab bags filled with unknown random contents and sell them for a substantial discount, usually 50% or more off the list price of the items contained within
I'd expect this to be more likely to contain a tshirt than a pin. Especially considering they already have the blind boxes for the pins.
"Sometimes I doubt your commitment to 'Sparkle Motion'."
I think the bags will contain 1 blind box, a poster, lanyard, probably not a shirt, perhaps a new item we havent seen yet, just small stuff, price rang between 20 and 30
I'm excited for another Pin. Not so much spending money this close to Christmas and the trip to Texas. But that is what those magical gift giving cards they keep sending me in the mail are for.

Oh I see!
I thought it was some rude concoction, I was splitting the word up into bits
The bags are not just pins, in fact i'd say they are mostly not pins (by price and weight), I spent some time yesterday starting the stuffing process. They will be an excellent value.
This is pretty exciting -- I had thought that the bags would be like a $5 dealie of whatever was swept up off the warehouse floor, but it sounds like it's totally the other way: substantial price point, but crammed full of tight merch.
Will the holiday rewards still apply at 2 PST today (IE will we get another couple of merch 2.0 before they go away for good) ?

I'm torn if I'll get a bag or not. $75 for the "mystery box" is just a bit too much, though I expect it to have at least one retired set, a shirt, among other stuff... we'll see how I feel in the heat of the moment.
"Fukubukuro are bags of stuff. A "lucky bag" or a grab bag. You'll pay $75 and get at least $150 worth of stuff. That stuff may be anything from wearables like Penny Arcade tees and scarves, to collectibles like pins. There will be surprise items and a few particularly lucky bags will be filled with bonus items like particularly rare pins (he paused and winked) or incredibly rare or out of print or completely unique items. Some stuff will be signed. And the bag that holds this all will be exclusive to this offer. There's 500 of them in total."

Well, according to timeanddate.com:
I'm betting fukubukuro will be a general mix of PA stuff, not just Pinny Arcade. Probably a double secret box and some other junk...
Only a mere 136 pins to go!
I already set my wrist alarm for 8am. Heck yeah, one more hour to be unconscious and forget about tonight's drinkin'.
