Got my box today - which I really needed, as it hasn't been a good day. The images are above 500kb, so you'll have to click to see them. Sorry for the poor quality.

Updated my pinnypals collection. This round of DSB really did me well. Out of the 24 pins, 11 were new to me, including the DSB merch. Filled a few holes in my collection. Awesome.
Here are my pulls from Thanksgiving: 7 boxes bought with an individual pin, no sets.
Box 1: Lookout Logo, Pax Prime 15 Logo
Box 2:Zombie Tycho (2013), Omin Dran
Box 3: Div 2.0, 80's Tycho
Box 4: Catsby, Tycho Front Sketch
Box 5: Khoo Hobby, Gabe 2.0
Box 6: Tycho 2.0, PNW Tycho
Box 7: AI Logo, Blond Lookout
In summary: not a single LE, rare or semi rare pin, No 2013 pax pins.
what a waste of almost $200 AUD, ah well.
I did two orders, one on thanksgiving, that was too late for DSB, but i got a case of Arma, Christmas Set, 2 x enfu set and some weedonwantcha pins I had missed. No Bonus Christmas Merch.
The second order was purely for 12 x DSB, nothing else, but did come with Bonus Christmas Merch.
it was the thanksgiving dsbs without a set that seem to be getting the sorry letters and blind merch.
I actually think it's all Thanksgiving DSB orders -- I got DSBs plus Xmas set (and got a Blind Merch in my DSBs) and received the sorry letter with a Blind Merch.

From what it seems, it is only the first sets of Thanksgiving DSBs mailed out that are getting the apology letters. They figured out what they did mid run. That is why there is the high percentage of Blind Merches in the sets sent with other merchandise. If you were in the first wave or so mailed out, you had no chance at a blind, hence the apology letter. Obviously we are not sure which wave international shipping went out in, before or after noticing the screw up.
Everybody who ordered at least one DSB on Thanksgiving got an apology letter/Canadian Merch. I ordered sets with mine, pulled a DSB Merch, and still got a letter for example, and there are many others who did the exact same.
I also believe it was one per person, so iirc a user and his wife both ordered boxes under their names and got multiple letters, while someone who made 3 separate orders on Thanksgiving only received one.

So is that -for the Australians'- 8am Friday or Saturday?
I'm probably more intersted in the fukubukuro than DSB, but I wouldn't say no to a few more boxes. If I end up with another DSBmerch, I'll be happy to trade it for a PAXAus '13 set and the Kemper's that I'm missing.

It would be 9:00am Friday morning for Central Australia I think? Crazy time zones down there.
Basically, five hours from the time of my post.

So my girlfriend got into pin trading cus of me, and she's been muy casual about it. But today, when we were messaging, I went quiet, and she was like "... are you buying blind boxes lol" and I was like "lol yes" and she was like "Good, I got two!"
Guys. She got two. Without me telling her how. Without me telling her when or giving her the link. She's a Pinny. Is this what true pin love feels like?
got to the store 15minutes after opening (its new years day morning dammit), and no DSB boxes for me, but 2 x Fuku for me to console my lack of DSB-ness...
Missed out (genuinally thought it was tonight) so I consoled myself with the New Years Pin, Halloween, Enfu and Christmas sets, and a Camp Weedonwantcha Skull pin.
I thought about buyin some DSBs when they went up this time but I was like ehhhhhh that Fuko looks like a lotta fun and I should be satisfied with the Blind Merch I already have.
Some of my DSBs finally arrived from my thanksgiving and December orders. Box 1 was from thanksgiving, while 2 to 9 are from a December order.
Box 1: Bride of Frankenstein Anne, PNW Tycho
Box 2: Coffee Kemper, Iron Guard Stance
Box 3: Pinny Arcade Logo, Kemper Crockett
Box 4: Brian Sunter, Lookouts 4
Box 5: Acquisitions Inc Logo, PAX Aus 10th Year
Box 6: Elf Tycho, Flesh Reaper (2013)
Box 7: Viking, Dropbear
Box 8: Santa Gabe, Merch 2
Box 9: Coffee Kemper, Emu
Overall pretty happy, got quite a few pins I didn't have and have been looking for. Unfortunately no blind merch or Ellie pin (my favourite pin), but weirdly I am still waiting for some more DSBs from both orders so I may get lucky. I don't really need another blind merch (I already got one last year) but it would probably help with obtaining some of the rarer pins I am chasing.
I ordered a Fukubukuro and a single DSB this time around, figured I'd ordered enough DSBs for a while :P

Mine came in a box. I ordered a few other Arma blind boxes with it.
They sent the sorry merches out in bubble envelopes @fishfishmonkeyhat

I thought he was referring to general DSBs, not the apology merches.

A DSB Merch has been bestowed upon myself and for this we give praise to the prepared!
The two unopened boxes are going to my VERY patient Pinny Secret Santa...
Christmas Bonus merch came with this order, but not the earlier one, aside from DSB Merch the only other pin I didn't have was the staff hobby one.

sigh... a little better than Thanksgiving but still not flash. Well, at least I have some fodder for Aus 2016 I guess.
The second order was purely for 12 x DSB, nothing else, but did come with Bonus Christmas Merch.

Probably not. Even with the incredibly small chance of a rare pin, they still cost a bit.

I missed all the DSBs, squeaked in a Fukubukuro and had trouble trying to order the NYE pin.
