My tracking shows 22 lbs , but I had ordered 2 boxes. The extra pound is probably the box, or the weight is just rounded off to the next pound. Here's hoping for something good  , will list what I get.

Here's the rundown on my box - quite a different kettle of fish: Radio Shack Retractable USB cable (useful) ZipZaps Cadillac Escalade Body Kit (useful if one has a "ZipZap"  Kronus Long-Nose Pliers (Exclusively at Radio Shack - useful) Monster Car Audio 3 meter Shielded Unterconnect Cable (ok for car audiophile) Monster Digital Camera Power Pack (Charger and 4 AA Batteries - open package, retaped, useful) Philips Behind-the-head Headset with Mic (useful) ESL Travel Case for Nintendo DS (useful) Catch-A-Call Max (Web Call Waiting and Fax-Phone Switcher - useful as a fax-phone switcher, but who still uses dial-up?) Philips USB Auto Sharing Switch (Allows two computers to use one USB Device - useful) Monster iCar Charger (useful, if I had an iPod) Telezapper (Automatically removes your phone number from telemarketers' lists - I wonder if this works for collectors?) James Dean photo pillow with (facsimilie) signature (odd) Easy Access Sound Case (A portable speaker built into a hard case for an MP3 Player - useful) PDA Power Sync Cable for IPAQ (useful, if I had an IPAQ) Philips Combo Power Adapter and Surge Protector (useful) NeoGlo Flash Wear Crystal Pendant (Looks like something one might wear in a club or something a 6 year old might enjoy) NeoGlo Glo Wand (A flashing Strobe Light attached to a keychain, or a keychain flashlight - useful) Monster Cable VCR to VCR Tape to Tape copy cable (this could work for VCR to DVD Recorder, too - possibly useful) 3 Monster iCar Chargers in a sealed plastic bag (useful) All in all, an interesting haul. What I can't use, I'll gift. Certainly worth the price of admission!

Got my haul, not quite what I had hoped...
50 foot coax (and I just had to go out and buy a cable when I was setting up the aunt's set up, darn)
random generic portable screw driver set (pretty nice, nicer than the last one I got from a mystery box)
digital camera powerpack (multi voltage 4000 Mah one, will be giving to sister, she just got a new camera)
3 ipod cases (for 4g ipod, and I've never owned an iPod...cowon all the way)
random gpx shower radio (not useful for me...)
2 n64/gamecube to tv "game switches) of different brands (sold my gamecube a long time ago AND my tv is not ancient)
d_skins as the others got (pretty good gift for my friend, hes rough on his discs)
stereo audio/video selector with component and s-vhs inputs (again, no use for me)
fridge magnets...enough said
5 dollar digital comic book, "negation vol 2" (seeing as I've never heard of it, and don't have vol 1....yeah)
replacement bulbs for the environizer...some air purifier (not useful)
universal mobile phone clip (not useful, since I have a case for my voyager)
modular handset amplifier (what is this, 1994?)
ipod fm transmitter that uses the proprietary port (would have been useful if it was 3.5mm...damn.)
and a rechargeable battery recharger dock thing.

To add to the data set:
100 ft RG6 coax cable, Philips. (Meh, probably useful in the future some time but it's the bulk of the weight of the box)
25 ft CAT5e cable, Philips (Meh, I have tons of this stuff already and it's not an amazing length)
5 meter car audio interconnect cable, Monster (I don't own a car, so...)
LG car adapter phone charger, RadioShack (Also don't own an LG phone...)
2x 5 piece fridge magnets (Somewhat useful)
Sportz Clipz handheld football game, RadioShack (Would be a great stocking stuffer were the batteries not dead!)
AA/AAA battery charger, Monster, no packaging (Useful! But no batteries?!?!)
Cable and cord manager, Cord-it (Decent, these wind up cables into encased spindles, cutting down on clutter)
USB 802.11b wireless adapter, Linksys model no. WUSB11 ver 2.6 (Decent, gift-able. Note not shrink wrapped, but package appears to contain all retail contents)
iPod case, Belkin ne (Useless, don't own an iPod or know anyone with a full-size one.)
4-port powered USB hub, Philips (Meh, have plenty of USB ports on my mobo. Also, packaging shattered, probably during shipping, the case feels flimsy)
iPod FM transmitter (Actually useful, can give to friends w/ iPods)
and finally,
Digital comic book, Meridian Vol 2, episodes 8-14 (Whoo! A series I've never heard of, and do not have the beginning of!)
Summary: unimpressed, but I guess I got my $'s worth.

hmm - it seems that each box is sort of different... here what I got:
Linksys Wireleses USB adapter (802.11b)
50 (?) pack of blank cds
3 pack multi-outlets (power strips)
Sun "Cleaning Glove"
Radioshack Serial Port Mouse
"Team Boomer" Self Cleaning Shower Filter Unit w/ extra filter
Monster Car Audio 1 meter cable
Universal Phone Dash Mount Kit
Mobile phone clip
2 x 8 pack Monster AA batteries
Powerpod universal phone charger
Phillips retractable ethernet cable
Phillips mp3 - cassette adapter
Phillips universal replacement remote control
Game Elements Wireless Headphones
all in all, nothing great... blank CD's, wireless headphones and batteries are nice I guess. The rest... no real use for so they'll probably going into the white elephant gift exchange at work.
Good luck to everyone else!

If the majority so far is unimpressed with the results, why would you keep wasting your thirty bucks thinking you'll get something better? If they end up with a wharehouse full of crap, they will either bring the price down or get a bigger box.

UPS tracking shows on my package shows " Your package is in the UPS system and has a rescheduled delivery date of 12/27/2007." Guess I'll be waiting awhile to get mine. Based on what others are getting, I'm going to have to pass on the rest of the boxes. Of course, that means the next box will have something like a laptop.

I wouldn't mind an S-Video cable, the night owlz sound decent, and headphones are always stocking stuffer worthy On the other hand...shower fm radio? stereo audio/video selector? modular handset amplifier? Nintendo to tv "game switches?" I suppose there were a few useful items in my haul, but yours would've been better for me personally.

I'm buisily waiting to see what sort of shack stuff I am going to get, though I am offended that it is no longer a Christmas box, I did not order a holiday box!!
Have you ever asked your co-workers hey what did you buy your kids for thanksgiving? People are buying stuff for Christmas, not some generic unspecified holiday.
