This is probably why you see so many ppl upset. I havent seen this posted but this is from the discraft email that convinced me to buy it.
"Secondly... SALES. While there are tons of great deals offered, the real catch of the weekend is the Mystery Box. Clocking in at $99, this box is loaded to the brim with goodies. From multiple baskets and bags to the rarest Buzzz discs in existence, the number of surPrizes given this weekend are on a whole new level. "
Now. Read that and explain some of these boxes please......

It's not an unknown source, it's Discraft. Host an Ace Race and you get wholesale pricing. Yes, the chance I got something great was minimal, and the chainstar lite would have been cheaper to buy outright. I was hoping for a pro or a grip bag, the signed disc, and if not, all the items would go up for raffles at my Ace Race, which is what's going to happen. I may sell the Buzzz I got for $15 or so to get a decent chunk back, but, raffles will bring in more than that anyways. Whatever we raise, I always bring up to the next $100 mark, so I'm not really paying myself back anything.
The wholesale pricing is really nice, except you do need to order a minimum of 25 discs to get anything, you can't just order a basket and be done. I'll likely place an order again this year and sell the discs for a couple $ more than I pay to raise a few $$ here and there and give people a good deal, too.
All said and done, I'm a gambling man, lol.

You left out this little nugget:
"When you spend $99.99 you are guaranteed to receive a box worth a whole lot more in retail value."
I'm also thinking that bean counter took a lunch break and the warehouse went wild then. I have seen a couple of almost identical boxes to ours, but they had an bigger extra as well (Discraft hoodie or Discraft Tournament bag).

I'm surprised by the mystery box trend. The longer I play, the more specific I am. I know what molds, plastic types, and weights I prefer. The thought of handing someone $100 and having them put a box of disc golf stuff together for me is just not appealing.
Yeah I've been watching this thread out of morbid curiosity.

Coincidentally he wasn't the only discraft sponsored player to win one of the top prizes. #mysteryboxgate2019

Here you go
Overall I'm glad I bought a mystery box for $100, heck this thread was worth that in entertainment value alone. It was kind of like Christmas, you open it up and realize you just got a bunch of things you wouldn't normally buy for yourself. I mean I wasn't even playing disc golf in 2012, and now I have a brand new Discraft ace race mini from 2012 -- priceless!
Actually though everything I got was pretty cool, I showed my mystery box to some buddies and they all thought it was a really good haul. But I probably wouldn't do another one like this unless I knew an insider who was filling orders, that seems to be the best strategy...

Exactly. I'm not at all interested in spending $100 to get 3 or 4 discs I won't throw and a couple t-shirts I'm not that interested in. Did you all get to specify your shirt size? As someone who wears small/medium depending on fit, I'd hate getting a bunch of L and XL clothing.
