Time for an update folks! I showed up from work today to find the last box from @RaleighSport . Added my contribution and got everything packed up, as usual this thing is full to the brim.
Here's what I took:
Unfortunately, the post office was closed by the time I got home today. Here's the box, all strapped to biketruck and ready to begin its voyage back to the west coast and @nuron 's house tomorrow morning:

The box is off to @nuron ! I really liked @BluesDaddy 's idea of taking a photo of the box on a bike near a landmark, so I did it too!
Here's the box enjoying a nice view of Lake Michigan:
And here it is being cultured at the Milwaukee Art Museum:
Oddly enough, I found the handling to be more stable with the box on the back of the bike! Maybe it's because my frame is way shorter than BluesDaddy's , but when riding no handed I couldn't get the bike to wobble if I tried (well, I could, but it was way more difficult than when I was heading home).

Ohhh the threads coming back to life. Thank goodness, I was afraid I might have killed it. So Mr Waffle, looking better than it has in ages? (The box)

@RaleighSport Absolutely, I actually had to pick what I wanted. Last time, the only thing for me was some headset bearings 
I've added some nice goodies, let's hope the box remains this way!

Box sent to ramalalag. I didn't see anything worthwhile at the moment so I didn't take anything and just resent it. Please remove my name from the BoC for now.

I guess we all resent the box, if we're playing the game right.

The lineup is quite a bit shorter than usual to boot, good fortune for you I suppose. DD will amend the official list sooner or later, but obviously you've been tallied on mine.

Hi folks,
I received the BOC this evening. I'll get busy with pics asap. Though it has some beautiful artwork on the box, it may need to be swapped for a new one. I'll see how it goes. At first glance it is living up to it's name...

Not much of a haul for me on this round (needed a set of levers for a single-speed project). The pickens are pretty thin in the box. I appreciate the game, but the usefulness of items in the box is pretty questionable. It'll be on it's way soon. (Sorry that was whiney wasn't it?)
