Too rich for my blood, but sure wish I knew some local scrappers who'd go share-sies w/me. Sounds like a ball.
If anyone gets it, please share your thoughts. After the SC mystery box debacle, I'm afraid of any box deal. But I trust SSS a bit more.

No. I looked at it but most of the things don't appeal so I wouldn't pay $$$ for the whole box.

The only paper crafting purchase I make each month is the Simon card Kit. That's $30.
I would never spend $200 at one time on a kit.
I had a small store in my hallway closet, my spare room and my sunroom.

Not me. Nothing in that box interested me.
I find that box WAY too expensive and I don't like that none of the items go together.

I had to go check it out. I also don't like it. Some of the stamps are ok but there is no theme. Had it been travel or summer, it might have been more appealing. I also think it is way too $.

Not for me either. It seems like the main selling point is getting the items very early. I don't like enough of them to care BUT if there were an early release of lawn fawn winter stuff, I'd be all over it and would probably pay the money.

Yeah, I thought it was just a random grouping of stuff. and I don't care if I get things 'early' or not. It would make more sense to have an overall theme or stuff that actually works together. |

I understand the concept, just not the box.
I get it's "get it before everyone else does", but it's SOOOOO disjointed. You'll never please everyone, and there are a ton of people that are going to buy this.
Themed box, yes. One manufacturer, yes. Non-theme but *like* items, sure.
But, dogs, alphabet, a Christmas die, baby, seems like two planner sets, flowers, thank you, Cardinal, and yellow stamp pad. None seem to be even remotely related. And the yellow stamp pad? Okay, use it with the baby set, but what else? Just such a strange collection.

That was $200 US? Wow! I wish there was *something* I would have wanted in the box. I mean anything would have made it slightly appealing but not me.

eh, I will pass. It all may be brand new stuff - but it looks like someone is cleaning out their old stash.

No, it's too rich for me. DH doesn't care what I buy or how often packages get delivered, but I would not be able to justify this purchase to myself. I only really like three sets and would possibly use a couple others. The sets are just too random.

None of those are exclusive product, as far as we could tell, and there wasn't enough that we liked to justify buying it all, especially when the savings was only something like $20 over separate prices. (I don't know how I know that; one of my friends might have done the math, so it could be totally off-base.) Anyhow, some cute things in there, just not ALL the things. |

Too ecclectic! I have no use for planner stamps, and the mini pandas and mini penguins would be total deadweight. Also, the ninjas, and likely the baby onesies.
I much prefer to pick my own items, unless you are offering me a huge discount!

No. There isn't one thing included that I would even buy on it's own.

There were a couple of things I wanted, but for that price, I'd have to love every single thing.

Thanks all. I really appreciate your thoughts. I'll be happy to pick up the crazy dogs if they go on sale sometime and I do like the alpha. But, as many of you said, just way too much stuff I'd not have personal use for. It's a neat idea, but at a way lower price point w/less "eclectic"-ness.

It's not for me, either. I subscribe to the monthly kit, and that is plenty of stamps for me. This box is for hardcore stampers! I will enjoy seeing what their talented design team creates with everything.

Heck no. It took us until only 3 years ago to get a flat panel TV. My phone upgrades are never the brand new model, either. I don't need anything right away to pay that for several other sets I don't care for included.
Upside I guess is with many not available for a long while, immediate resale shouldn't be too bad. Not worth the risk for me, though.

Okay, use it with the baby set, but what else? Just such a strange collection. What jumped out at me was the vastly different style. Even if it wasn't themed but a similar style, I could understand, but cutesy (lf, mama elephant), sketchy (th), realistic (cardinal), planner, etc. Unless you are just starting out and don't know what your style is (in which case, I question the sanity someone dabbling or new has to spend $200 on something they may hate), the mix likely won't appeal to everyone. Sure, many cross styles, but maybe in a kit with a single stamp set, not one with what, ten? |

$200?! Wow. That's insane! Now...give me the option for a $200 OA box and I'd possibly be guilty of insanity lol! 😆

Not me either - too much money one box at one time.

I will enjoy seeing what their talented design team creates with everything. I looked at the blog hop for this box and not one of those amazing stampers could make me buy the box.
Laura Bassen sold me on the flower stamp set (can't remember the manufacturer, maybe SSS) but I can wait until later to get that.
I seriously just don't understand the randomness of this box.

It almost has a Studio Calico vibe to it. Multiple contributors but no one is talking to the others to know what the designs are going to look like, so you end up with things that look great on their own, but put together makes you go, 'whaaaa?'

Not for me. I'm trying to be more specific with my purchases, not less  The only way I would spend $200. for a box of product is if I was able to pick each piece out myself. And I would want the value to be $240 or so |

I wouldn't buy the box because none of the items are really my style. Not to mention that it doesn't seem like a good value. 10 stamp sets, 2 die sets and one inkpad for $199.99....I'll pass.
