I want one, i just wanna know what you guys think. If they are sold out, is this a yearly thing or is it just randomly put up for sale?

It was sold out just a little bit ago. This thread convinced me to buy one (just did it like five minutes ago); it was a good day to browse General, I guess. If you block ads, if you love Newgrounds, if you've gotten a single hentai-boner from NG, you owe it to Newgrounds... also you get cool stuff.

The value of everything that comes in it adds up to way more than $15. Definitely worth the money.

Definitely worth it - in everything from value to novelty, the Mystery Box is one of the best things to come out on the NG Store lately. I can understand how they take next to no time to run out of the store, but a while to restock - they do actually have to find things around the office that are fairly fun enough to pack in a box and send to the peeps. I intend to order one ASAP for the lulz.

A mystery box? 15 items from the dollar menu at McDonalds is 15 items from the dollar menu at McDonalds but the mystery box could be anything. It could even be the 15 items from the dollar menu at McDonalds you want.

Take the box.

I think it would be worth it. I'm not going to get one due to money constraints though.

I think the mystery box is worth it for the photo of (random staff member) holding (random object) and (random object) alone.

I'd buy one ... but it would probably be a waste if there's a shirt in there, and I can't wear it due to me wearing at least XXL. :C

I bought mine and it should be here rather soon, and I can't wait! From what I've seen by spoiling myself with all the various threads centered on what was contained in the mystery box, everyone has received some rather standard items (A t-shirt, stickers, a DVD), but the real main event is all the other stuff you get (One user received a blown fuse and a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide, one user received a PS2 game, another user who had bought two boxes received a snapshot of everything he got in the previous box plus a picture of Tom Fulp holding said snapshot).
