My order is still showing as "processing", but it landed today.

This is a standard box as far as I know:

1. The main item" the illuminated PS3 vertical stand.
2. A PS2/PS1 compatible controller
3. 10' gamecube/N64 controller extension cable
4. 8-in-1 starter kit for gameboy micro. It has a carrying case, screen protector, ear buds, leather wrist strap, car power adapter, etc.
5.Xbox networking pack. This is two Ethernet cables, one a straight through and one a crossover, so usable for all your networking needs. I have two packs of these already from the old Holiday Edition MB, never opened, but will gladly add it to my box of networking parts.
6. Retractable game controller extension cable. Has a PS1/PS2 plug, but includes adapters to work on xbox, and gamecube. Maybe can use this, but it is rather HUGE i must say.
7. "power zoom magnifying lens" for PSP. As near as I can tell I think it is a magnifying lens that attaches over the PSP screen. I'm gonna try this out, my eyes aren't what they used to be!
8.A game cartridge/wallet for Gameboy Advanced SP.

not bad for $15.99 shipped. Smile Just wish I could personally use more of this stuff. Sad I took a gamble, I was hoping for more gamecube stuff, particularly controllers to use on my new Wii, so maybe I'll make use of the game cube controller extension cables down the line.

Anyhow if anyone is in need of almost any of these feel free to PM me, perhaps we could work out a trade or what have you. Wink

My box was just one order, it finally sent me tracking info late today, my package was 6lb, and obviously not shagged, so that is probably about the standard weight, but if there is a lot of variety in products, the weight probably will vary..

I think I got the exact same contents. Just as scaredwitless mentioned, if anyone wants to trade for any of these items, I'm "game" LOL. I'll hold these items for a week or so, after that, I have some friends and/or family members that can use most of these. As for what I'm interested in trading, I'd like some cooldownz.

I enjoyed this MB, thanks a lot, TF!

I am interested in 2 of the Gameboy Micro kits. I would prefer to get them both from the same person so there is only one shipping charge or only one person who I have to send stuff to. I might also be interested in getting some of the GBA wallets. Could somebody please post pics?

If you are interested in getting rid of your Gameboy items, PM me.

I got the 'normal' stuffs in my AMB. This time I was much, much more pleased with the MB than the huge one (I actually bought this while wasting for the other to ship...).

This had lots of little fun things that could be used. I don't own most of the consoles, but that is besides the point, especially since I knew what I was getting into on this one.

Yay!

Mmmhhmm, I would love3 more Almost Mystery Boxes at a regularish interval. Probably harder for TF to put together then the pure MB, but do you notice how much calmer the AMB threads are compared to the MB threads? Wink

Same here!! I was REALLY pleased with THIS one. Very Happy

And I have to agree with you on the calmness too. I think everyone just gets their expectations up TOO high for the MB's...then are SO disappointed when it's not met.

I go into EACH MB/AMB with the same mind set...IF I can't use any of it..I'm sure someone else can Bad Grin Bad Grin And There IS the Trade thread Laughing Laughing
