shipped today! my friend brian (hcdstudios) stopped by last night and swapped a few things as well.
I have the box and will ship tomorrow.
I don't know if its just bound to be anticlimactic after waiting and watching for a few months, and no offense to the folks before me, but I was pretty underwhelmed by the box. It's a cool idea, and I appreciate the work that goes into this.....yes here comes a but....
But, unfortunately for me the new discs in the box I do not throw (Xcaliber, Star Katana, Buzz, Glow Aviar (?), and the used discs were just not that appealing. A used and pretty nicked Pro Katana, really? The swag: used golf pencils, a novelty shotglass, some really beat up magazines and stickers??
I took the towel, a mini, and I removed the broken boxes of RIT dye because I think they might stain the contents of the box and I just don't know why we're shipping broken boxes of dye that you can get at the store for a couple bucks around the country, and they take up a lot of space. I will hold onto the dye, and if I am just wrong and it is super special hard to get dye I will send it on to the person who desparately wants it.
In place of the mini and the towel, I put in the "Disc Golf Fundamentals" DVD with Feldberg and Climo (watched once, it's pretty ok) two hand blown glass "mini markers" made by Mike Suhocki of ZuGlass, three mini bird Roc patches, and a never thrown Star Teebird with my ink. I had several cool discs picked out to add to the box, but not enough room with the stuff thats in there.
Sorry to be such a downer dick, or if anyone takes offense, but the two discs I had my eyes on in the last pic were both gone and I'm just a little bummed at how this turned out. I'm not laying blame on anyone, just sayin. My advice to the next person and if consensus agrees: someone take out the crappy stuff like used golf pencils and magazines and torn stickers and stick in another decent disc if it will fit.
