    Don't think everyone was expecting fantastic contents, it's the level of crappiness :pac:

    The fake earphones, sunglasses were not something I thought would be in it.

    Sure it's only a bit of craic :D

    Is that why everyone buys? In the hope that this will happen again? Maybe that was the bait so people would buy more and they'd make back any losses on the first bag?

    PS - the Oakley case actually has some glasses (Oakley branded! :rolleyes:) in it that I quite like... never even checked. Oh, and I know it's an R4 card. When I see R, I think Region, due to DVD's.

    Girlfriend's happy enough with Angry Birds stuff, baseball camp will do for the nephew and glasses will do for the car. R4 card might go up on Ebay as I already have a DSL I never use.

    Can I have the bag of Air please??? I'll pay upto 80$ :P

    I think he only 'became' Jet Set Willy after making his fortune in Manic Miner.

    That mug is a future purchase.

    Well no surprises here, same content as everyone else - Angry Birds iPod case, green/red baseball cap (with an M on the front - size 56.8cm), R4 card thingy (R4I Gold Upgrade v1.4), random cheap ring and a phone lanyard (sp?). Have given away the case but if anyone wants any of the other parts just reply or drop me a PM with your address.

    Update - everything gone except the cap which I think might be a Mexico cap.
