Fukubukuro: Kickstarter
55So the bags are apparently starting to come in. Let's call this the "official" Fukubukuro topic, where you can post your video unboxings, your photo essays, and your think pieces on how disappointed you are in what you got.
(Quick forum tip: Youtube videos and pics hosted most anywhere just embed automatically if you paste the urls in, so just try that.)

@dave Since when did meh get organized?
I wish organizing my garage was this easy.
Can we all just take a moment to admire that awesome goat eyeballing your name? Not sure what you did to earn it, but I want in.
You don't want it. He gets blamed for everything. Although, I think after the first month is over, it's up for grabs.
I'm posting my disappointment that I didn't even hear about Mediocre Labs or Meh until after launch.
No zero-day shirt, no Fukubukuro for me.
I'll get you next time, Gadget... NEXT TIIIME...
I am in the same boat.
Wait, you have a boat?
Me as well
Me too, but I simply added my own K. Special K.
My boat is leakier. I was on Mediocre from about Day 1, got the email and still missed the Fukubukuros. Managed to get a "K", though.
I was on a vacation and not really net-connected when the Zero-Day happened, so missed out on the shirt. Did the kickstarter though!
I was super lucky I bought the shirt using airport wifi just before boarding. But didn't click meh! There's always something you forget.
I don't suppose there is any means to track our fuku? My post office is a level of crappy well beyond the expected level of crappy for any post office. Quite frankly I may never see it. They don't even bother leaving attempted delivery slips 80% of the time.
@patti As far as I'm aware we're stealth shipping these guys. @Mehcus or @JonT?
@hollboll Then I will accept the will of the fuku bird which drops these bags in the dead of night on their intended recipients. Or not.
@hollboll and @patti, I'm not Mehcus or JonT, but let me see what I can do.
@patti STEALTH I tell you!
@hollboll
@patti Nope, the fuku's are being shipped in a pretty random order which doesn't really lend well to tracking. It's great for anticipation!
@MEHcus Again, I will wait for the fukubird to dump it on my apartment.
I can add that it was definitely stealthy, showed up to work today and BAM my fuku bag was here... will post pics later
Mine just showed up at the office today. Apparently they tried to deliver Saturday but since our office is closed no dice.
Someone coined it the "fuck you Buckaroo bag". I really think this should be the generally accepted term for the bags until someone comes up with something awesome.
I'm not complaining about my bag at any price -- I just thought the name was clever.
Isn't the point of this thread to complain about what you got? You're just a little early.
Why, that was me! I hearby claim the origin of "Fuck You Buckaroo". :)
CRAP. What happened to the Day Zero forum threads? They are gone. That's where I first posted about it. None are showing up.
Can someone smart please set up a google map where people can pin their location as the fukukupoprocks are received? It would be interesting to track the wave of crap from ground zero (from day zero).
I'm SO excited to see what you all got.
I am equally balanced between that and not wanting to know what I missed. I'm not very good at being meh.
@moondrake me neither. meh.
I hope it's something corn dog related. I have a hankering for corn dogs.
well now i want corn dogs
Mmm... Corn dogs..
update: got corn dogs last night
@harrison please keep us updated on all future corn dog activity.
I have a first world problem. I have corn dogs. I want corn dogs. BUT now is not an appropriate time to eat corn dogs. (10PM)
@caffeine_dude, what's wrong with you?! ANY time is an appropriate time to eat corndogs!
Just had trader joes, vegi corn dogs. suprisingly not bad
Someone posted their fuku on twitter:
I hope there is a matchbox car in mine.
I'm going to star this because dinosaur bed sheets.
I got the same 5 pairs of reading glasses in mine too. WTF
I don't have my bag yet, but when I do...
I'll have to find some pants tight in the crotch/ass and baggy at the ankles... and perhaps find some dance moves to go along with them
Maybe that's what's in your bag?
We can hope. No amount of dance skills could offset my awkward ability to be so uncoordinated when it comes to dancing
If you DO get the pants in your bag, be sure to post your version of this video!
Woah, woah, woah... this thread is titled "Fukubukuro: Kickstarter" instead of just "Fukubukuro". Does this mean there will be other Fukubukurae in the future? Is this a hint of future treasures? Have I cracked the code?
I'm not sure there was anything to crack. I had always assumed there would be more, but you can have a cookie anyway
But... but... but... my well-deserved glory.
Here is my fiancee's, meh. And in truly meh fashion, the robot is missing a wheel.
Is the Star Trek thing a ViewMaster reel?
Nope, it's a story record, still sealed.
Now that is one sweet bag. The vintage Star Trek thing - the Schmidt chain wallet? You, my friend, have scored big.
The chain wallet AND a Star Trek record. I am soooo jealous. How can I get one of these fukubukuro thingies? Maybe a contest soon?
It turned out about as crappy as I was expecting:
I'm jealous of your Fairly Odd Parents.
Davey and Goliath!!!! "Okay Daaaaaavey!"
Got mine today -
Ipup iPod charger/speaker
reader glasses
Kindle slim cover
Aliens toy figure
Irk comic
Make your own puppet bag
New Meh factory aroma
Thanks Meh!
Touchdown.
-5 pairs of glasses
-1 Kindle Fire case
-1 Flinstones Vitamins mug (which my 5 year old freaked out over)
-1 lunar rover salt and pepper shaker
-1 chain wallet
-Irk comic
-Makr your own puppet set
That's mehtastic
I have to see that lunar rover salt and peeper shaker
I must have a lunar rover salt and pepper shaker set. Frack you, fukubukuro bag winners!
The real question is, why has no one made their own paper bag selves and posted pictures of them?
I promise to do this when mine arrives.
Because I don't have my fuckyoubuckaroo just yet
your sisters took pictures...and got bags
done and done. hope it appeased you jon
My selves all wear rhinestones.
I love the smell of disappointment in the air, can't wait to be let down! I hope it's the start of a trend, still waiting for my t shirts and cordless soap dispensers
Mine is 2 pounds. But hasn't left Texas yet. Didn't get tracking info, but my FedEx account shows it. I know it's the fukubukuro cuz it has "kickmeh-###" in the reference field. Ha, "Kick Meh" like a note on someone's back. (also kickstarter)
Please explain this wizardry to me.
2.3 lbs, box is 12x9x5. :-( Too small to be an octopus. Package is sitting in W. Virginia, estimated delivery to NY is Friday 25-Jul.
@bluedog
OMG!!! That is the cutest little octupus ever!
@hollboll: Yippee! I'm getting a cute lil' octopus! Gee, I hope the Meh shipping folks put air holes in the box for the little critter.
@Bluedog crap. I knew we forgot something.
water might have been helpful too
That's the breakfast appetizer size.
it kind of looks like a spider. blegh.
@medz @bluedog Please explain? Is the ### a number or is it really just ###?
Actual numbers. I assume it correlates to your Kickstarter purchase
@patti: The ### are actually numbers. Unfortunately, FedEx's website isn't cooperating, so I can't show you a screenshot of what I see.
@bluedog OK thanks, I thought I just broke the whole thing
how do you see the tracking info if they're not providing it? Does fedex show you because it's going to an address you've registered?
I would very much like to know if I may receive mine by the end of day Friday the 25th as I will be on vacation/moving and won't be around until early august. + no forwarding address yet. Wizardry tracking would be outstanding so I could possibly have a friend drive on over to pick it up for me. Thoughts? Meh overlords - couldja help a guy out here?
I'll take a look for ya tomorrow and let you know.
Thank you kindly sir. Tis most appreciated!
@RogerWilco could you send an email to HALP@meh.com with your shipping address so we can check it out?
@RogerWilco you can also try setting up a shipment alert on the Fedex site, as @capguncowboy talks about below.
If you set up shipment alerts on Fedex site (free by the way), you can see all incoming packages to your address. Mine shows everything that Meh has sent me. I was able to click and find that my FuckYouBuckaroo weights 2 lbs in a 9x9x9 box.
I have an account, and have my address set up, but it never shows me any shipments. Asks for an account # when I try to get notifications.
Try this link: https://www.fedex.com/fedextracking/?cntry_code=us&action=custdeliveryoptions
Says they can't verify that I'm me with my entered info. :-/ Thanks, though.
I really hate those verification things. Sometimes, two of the options will apply to me. Then I have to guess and it breaks. Sorry
It didn't even ask questions, just prefilled my account info (name, address, email & #). Then says they're wrong. Stupid FedEx.
@purplepawprints make sure you use capital letters and punctuation for your street address.
Not 10 meh dr
Use 10 Meh Dr.
It took a few tries to verify me. It's more of a pain if you move often, or had multiple address changes in a 6 month period.
Mine doesn't work either. The verification questions are wrong. I'm not associated with nor did I buy the house from with anyone listed.
Actually it registered me without the verification. I just have no shipments listed. Sad day.
Thanks for this info! I didn't know about it! My fuku has been in pre-shipment since the 18th. Ugh! the suspense is killing me!
Thanks for the link as well. I have a 4 pounder on the way!
I went through all this rigamarole to see that nothing is on its way . Thanks anyways for the 411.
we broke the verification thingy... fudge
Thanks for this. Took a few minutes to update but now works. Box is 26x11x10. Big meh!
It's definitely broken for me. I can't get verified no matter what I try. Thanks for all the tips, though.
I tried several times, no luck with verification either. Was worth a shot though
Since my verification didn't take I can't set up notifications. After my mechanic bill yesterday at least it's something to look forward to
Unfortunately my address is a UPS store and they only allow you to set up residential addresses.
They will not take PO Boxes either. Weird since it is a valid address even in the not so smart system.
Stupid FedEx site won't verify me- the questions are all about people and phone numbers that I've never heard of. Urgh.
Never realized they had that. Setup, thought there was an address issue (shared zip) but a package is now showing. Not a lucky bag though :(
I was able to register and initially it showed no shipments to my address. Then I refreshed about an hour later, and it showed me a 9 x 9 x 9, 2 lb Kickmeh due to be delivered tomorrow. Pretty cool, I had no idea that this was an option!
mine is a 15x8x9 and its 1.5 lbs...what the hell is in that big of a box thats so light? if its all just air..........ILL BE SO EXCITED!!!!
@hollboll
@thevertigo I hope that's exactly your reaction.
@TheVertigo @hollboll that was exactly my reaction to mine
14x9x9 and 2.2 pounds... I'm excited! Though it says the package is in a town two hours away and will be delivered 4 days from now. Sigh.
I got a big box !! I got a really cool helicopter !!!! Yay!
oh wait. I ordered that.
Now I regret not ordering a helicopter. I could just play with the one I have but it's not from Meh.
The Meh one is really difficult to play with. It's size makes it hard to fly inside and it's too windy outside to fly it
I love the helicopter but it's impossible to fly with any wind.
@DaveInSoCal : Stop eating beans, then try again.
Haha, this one just came through on twitter:
hilarious!
Yes, yes...this was entirely on purpose...
Here's another Tweeter:
Mine, too, it turns out.
13x10x6 @ 2.3 pounds. I'm guessing it's Matt's gently used left shoe.
Surprised by a big fuh queue box at work:
3x air (1 deflated)
1x brown bag with a googly eye and a smaller broken deformed googly eye
1x make your own meh bag instructions
1x twist top sleeve for kindle
1x large camera case
1x plastic yellow corvette
1x meh comic page
2x crayons, 1 red / 1 blue (used to color comic)
5x reading glassed (3x +1.25, 1x +1.50, 1x +2.75)
The use of extra packing material saddens me. I really wanted all the shit in my box to rattle and be completed scattered when I open it.
Nice use of the crayons, now I know how smurfy Irk can look.
I'm not sure how you were the first to think of the whole color Irk idea. Hell, we didn't even think of it and we made these things.
=D I was hoping I would be the first. I honestly thought it was intentional and that nobody else was putting 2 and 2 together... prize 4 me?
@MEHcus ... I'll take your silence as a "mehybe" ?! =D
@mehbye yep, let's call it a mehbye. Just sit back and mehbye something will show up.
IJWTS that I have absolutely no idea what I intended "Mine, too, it turns out" to apply to. Aging sometimes sucks.
You could always make something up. No one here would be the wiser. Give it a shot.
Awesome! I have a package waiting for me at home!!! Come on 4 o'clock!!!
Pish-posh...it's 4:00 somewhere. Leave now and avoid traffic.
You are a wise man bluedog.
You Guys Lied!!!! You said I wouldn't like it, you said it was crap! Sorry, this is FUCKING AWESOME!!!
Davey and Goliath Book, with Goliath Figure
Kindle Cover
5 pair of readers ( In the power I use ! )
Puppet Bag and Crayons
Comic sheet
but the kicker....
The Odd Job Model Kit!!!
Oy, where did we go wrong?
Clearly we have failed you
Odd Job!!!
Hey! I thought we called "No Odd Job"! (Godeneye on N64 reference)
Amazing! That odd job is spectacular!
Maybe everyone should post what level of backing they were in. It would be interesting to see if there was any difference in box content (not expecting any but you never know). To be honest, is more to gloat that I got in at the $5 level than anything.
Just FYI - that did not affect the contents of the boxes in the slightest.
Honestly, I just threw shit at boxes. I didn't really aim based on money.
In at the $10 'Bird' level. Must be why the most interesting thing @hart threw at mine was the extra Irk comic page.
My coach always said I threw a "natural" curveball (which was probably an insult).
wonder woman photo album, very jealous
Ohhh... Wonder Woman photo album...would have actually LOVED that!
Just got mine a few minutes ago. Pretty meh. 5 glasses, PBR coasters, photobook, camera bag, paperbag and crayons.
Oh look, another Wonder Woman photo album...getting jealous!
I've received my early bird fukubukuro
5 pairs of reading glasses
1 turkey thermometer
1 twist top kindle fire case with skulls
1 pack of rubber snakes
1 Irk comic
1 make your own meh bag of Ignorant
1 bag
2 small googly eyes
2 crayons - 1 green, 1 yellow
1 silly surfers hodad makin the scene with a six-pack. No clue what this is.
Thanks meh
The Silly Surfers thing is a model kit, a reissue of a classic 60s kit. Put it together (it's easy), paint it, and have an awesome thing.
Thanks
Why did it have to be snakes ?
I remember having a female surfer model that was similar way back when.
Time to collect reading glasses for the homeless!
I work in the optical field, if you want to do this, let me know
Thanks for the idea! Already collect toiletries, hats, mittens, etc., but hadn't thought of reading glasses for homeless.
Actually, @Teripie, you have a good idea. Donate these reading glasses and all old eyeglasses to your local Lions Club.
http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/our-work/sight-programs/eyeglass-recycling/the-need-for-eyeglasses.php
But is he a club member?
@barnabee He's not just a member, he's a client!
Oh, I thought you were going to say that he was a cub member.
I used to work for an optical health nonprofit, and this is the right answer for anyone looking to give these to charity.
Also, local homeless shelters can make great use of these, since a prescription isn't required (by law) to give them away.
1) Darth Vader bubble gum container. With no bubble gum.
2) Rubber seal. Like, the animal. Maybe it's a sea lion.
3) Camera case "Made of stretchy wetsuit material"
4) Five (5) pairs of +1.25 reading glasses
5) Make your own meh bag (bag, 2 crayons, 2 googly eyes, instructions)
6) Limited edition comic starring Irk.
So, um... meh. I tweeted a picture using the #meh tag but can't figure out how to post same here.
@vogonpoet yeah... no idea what happened to your gum.
Thanks, @Ignorant. That's mine.
My box was identical to yours. At least they gave us those glasses so that we could clearly see that we weren't getting any Bazooka!
Does your rubber seal squeak and look like it's about to viciously eat someone?
Just found my tracking info:
11x10x9 and weighing in at 3.7 lbs. Can an iPad fit in that? Just asking, mainly to get my hopes up so that when it does arrive, the actual contents will live up to the "meh" name.
Maybe they threw in a couple rocks to boost the weight.
it is absolutely an ipad, probably an LTE version! I would be so pumped up if I were you!
Ooh, Fedex updated! 2.1 lbs, 10x8x8 in., due 7/26.
@thumperchick
(I couldn't handle it anymore)
@hollboll THANK YOU
I was going to make you all wait until my fuku got here. :P
seriously I needed closure. Thank you.
@jonT @marklog it was mostly for me but you're welcome.
Got here. Got the paper bag and the crayons. Got the reading glasses. Got the make your own bag kit. Got the camera case.
And a waterproof case for an iPad (http://www.lifejacketcase.com/), maybe my TouchPad will fit in it.
And an IPAD MINI!!! 64GB!! With both cellular and wi-fi! (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPad-MD536LL-Wi-Fi-Black/dp/B0096DR20I). But alas, no charging cable.
But that's okay because this little puppy will do the charging!
http://www.amazon.com/JBL-Mini-Performance-Lightning-Black/dp/B00CO07FIO
Okay, I'm a happy, happy girl right now!
Best fukubukuru ever!
Prove it. Post a picture!
Oh, you got the "screw you - go buy a charging cable" box. Congrats.
Photo below!
Congrats!
I want to say it was Meh..I really do, but I loved my Fuku. I got:
2 crayons (1 looked slightly used)
1 small googly eye
1 Paper Bag
1 JBL OnBeat Micro
5 Reading Glasses
1 Make Your Own Bag of [Jenny]
1 Built Twist Top Sleeve for Kindle Fire
And my most favorite because I'm a big fan of the movies...
An Alien (Wierzboski) Figure
So random. So awesome. I love you, meh.
Im really concerned now...how is my espresso machine supposed to be in this box if its only 15x8x9 and its 1.5 lbs!?!
maybe it's a very small machine that only makes 1 drop of espresso at a time.
Got mine today as well.
Laptop sleeve
Meh comic
Make your own bag instructions
Brown bag with crayons and googley eyes
4 reading glasses
Metal sphere to keep food items cold
A bag of toy cars
Slingshot toy with parachuting figures
Squirt crap shooter - seems to be a trick toy
All in all....meh.
love the plastic cars!
Ummm... "Slingshot toy with parachuting figures" sounds awesome.
I think you mean metal dodge ball. No one in the office would see it coming.
One lonely M flip looking for her flop and 'sole mate'. Are you the 'right' one to complete me?
Hey...uh, can I have that back? (kidding, it's yours...now)
Well, I can no longer edit my first post, so here's another with a photo.
See my original list above.
shenanigans undeclared. nice haul.
so far best haul
YEW!!
Yowser!
So jealous! I've been wanting an iPad for ages. But, at least I'm getting an octopus. :-)
Congratulations, that's a great fukubukuro! Fukurokuju and Daikokuten smile upon you!
wow, awesome!
Anyone who received a key have a clue of what its to yet?
How many people got keys?
Maybe it's for a lock.
I know, I know, I know!
@MEHcus
Here's my stuff:
Pic:
Unboxing Video:
Nice haul. Mr. T!
Wow. I suppose showing any kind of emotion while opening the box would have defeated the purpose of Meh. Way to stay in character.
Great video, thanks for sharing with those of us who are still fukubukaroo deficient. BTW, love the Piranha glasses!
The reading glasses are my favorite thing. I hate being old, but at least I can see now!
Love the root-beer stickers!! Reminds me of the scented markers.
@Mac454, my intention was to put music as the background instead, but then I remembered I'm lazy.
What utter crap... AS PROMISED. Meh.com, the only website to deliver what it promises :)
If I layer all the reading glasses I get x-ray vision
to be continued...
Whoa you got the Red Key?!? Oh man, just wait...errr I mean...no big deal, don't worry about it.
OMG, the suspense is killing me! What is it for??????????????
@jmackie3501 DON'T LOSE IT!
don't lose the key or the envelope?
that's the one i drew!
Can't wait until you all find out what the key s are for.
Is this in the near future?
@jont wait key with an S?!?! As in there could be more of these magical keys out there?!?! Hmmmmm wonder who has them....
Dammit! They mailed out my floppy disk holder key again! Now how am I supposed to copy my floppy!?
Mine has been updated to 19.4 lbs! I guess 2 pounds was a placeholder.
Nice!
I just saw that another package is headed my way (but I haven't ordered anything else. It's showing as .6 lbs. I figure that's got to be a place holder. Is this the Roomba I won or something awesome-er?
EDIT: It's my shirt. It's definitely awesome-er :)
I got mine. I especially love Mr T in The Mystery of the Forbidden Monastery
20x16x15 and 12.1 lbs, coming Friday (when I'm away at a conference, of course). AWWW YEAH.
Got by box of disappointment today! Complete with a Crap Shooter, mighty vitey Flintstones mug, and little tyke shave kit!
And someone needs to get Irk some treatment... He's looking a little jaundiced.
That's not jaundice, it's Hepatitis C. Someone's been doing some hardcore drugs
I got 5 readers, a black camera bag, a broken (shattered) Betty Book utinsel holder, melted crayons, and the paper bag. All quite useful...especially since I have perfect vision. Phoenix in the hizzay!
Hmm, you should have a "K", shouldn't you? How did your crayons melt? It wasn't the speed of the shipping...
You can't ship crayons to Arizona. Arizonans know that. Apparently Texans don't.
@capguncowboy @ceagee @Meatieogre
Did any of you get your prize from Day 0/Day 1 contests yet? I sent my info in 2 weeks back. I just didn't want to bother @JonT or the rest of the gang here as I know they are super busy with the initial fukus and first 2 weeks of orders.
There are still a couple of contests they still haven't declared a winner. Say something wacky that they have to include in a write up was1
I haven't left my house in 2 weeks...i think i won a live animal...last few were dead animals and those aren't the same fun.
I'll make sure they go out soon! Have the prizes and everything picked out for y'all, just need to ship. Fukus did take over for a bit.
@JonT Thanks so much for the update! you have been awesome!
I'm done writing the software that allows Roombas to be ridden like a horse. I guess I'll rodeo ride my neighbor's dog for a while longer
11th commandment thou shall not rodeo ride thy neighbors dog @capguncowboy
@JonT and I will work on these this week. Thanks for being patient!
@hart thanks very much..you guys take your time! i imagine its hectic right now.
My Roomba, or perhaps it was several bricks, shipped today. At least, I think it did. 15 lbs sound about right? Thanks @JonT
My fuku:
2.3 lbs 14 x 10 x 9
Mr Man's fuku:
1.6 lbs 10 x 9 x 9
Both due for delivery tomorrow.
My 2lb fuku is taking its sweet time and should be here Saturday.
My Fuku is also taking its time. Created Friday. Set to arrive Thursday. If I knew someone in that shipping dept I'd let them have a piece of my mind.....
/ @hart
I'd be more sorry if I could, y'know, control SmartPost. But no one man can tame it.
My fuku arrived today. The highlight was an utterly crushed utensil caddy. The shipping box was pristine,so I assume it was busted like this when it was put into my box. 5 pairs of reading glasses are Meh, this busted ceramic takes me to a as-yet-undefined adjective of disinterest. I wasn't expecting much from Mediocre Labs, but I wasn't prepared for something this bad.
Maybe you could make a Betty boop mosaic that propels you to the top of the art world. But really that ones a bummer
I am going to have to remodel my kitchen, perhaps I could find a way to incorporate this boopy bounty.
@Ryaneil broke it. Totes his fault.
Fuku received today!
Make your own meh bag, bag & 2 crayons.
Donut truck
Davey and goliath coloring book with goliath figure
Irk comic (awesome)
Kindle fire sleeve
5 pairs of reading glasses
2 bags of Texas air
Thanks meh! It meht my expectations!
I see what you did there.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. (I hope no one's grandmother heard that, but holy shit). I have to say, our fukubukuro is pretty much fukubukuro-mazing. It's a little meh (but, especially in combo, that's kind of a-meh-zing awesome too).
So, okay, this is already cool. We would use some of this stuff and that would be fun. But wait . . .
But, no, wait again:
I so wanted one of those. I wanted one from the first day I heard that such a thing existed (honestly, before; I'm forward-thinking in my laziness). I could never justify it even in my easily persuaded mind. You get me, meh, you really get me.
So when we first opened the package and I saw the Roomba box, I thought two things: either 1) it's just gag packing material or 2) holy shit, I hope I didn't accidentally order that; she'll never believe me.
Sorry, guys, not very meh. But now I feel a little guilty, which is very meh.
Meh.
Thanks, fuku gods of awesome randomness. You've meh'd my dreams come true. :-)
http://flic.kr/p/oqBz4g
I love seeing hauls like this. Nice!
Congratulations!!!!
That's really sweet! A Roomba! Reminds me of the olden days....
Damn, dude. http://amzn.to/1nBaW52
Damn indeed. :-)
The robot has arrived posing as a vacuum to take over. Other than that nice fuku.
@denboy Giving us more evidence Meh is skynet
@bluedyn we'll pretend not to know that you know until it's time for all to know...or something similarly dramatic
Seems we are the big winners so far, although the XB1 comes close
MEH.
I'd say thanks guys, but...you know.
You got the super special double paper bag box, congrats!!
Two bags got stuck together, super special double paper bag box, tomato, tomatoe.
@Mac454 , two bags! I'll be patiently looking for your puppet show thread.
@badmnky I made the puppets, but now I have em locked away because they became sentient and tried to eat me. You don't want to see them.
@Mac454 ....oh... that's a... oh. Well over in the Labs forums, you could strap a webcam to a rat and throw it in!?
I also got the rubber seal that squeaks! (and 5 pairs of reading glasses)
4 eyeballs???? I only got one. I protest!
I know the whole shtick of this site is to be faux (or maybe genuinely) disappointed, but that just doesn't come naturally to me. I want to apologize to any and all of you that I will undoubtedly fail because of it. I'm so pumped for my fukubukuro to arrive!
I received a medium-sized and but not very heavy box. Inside was:
And…
11. A note saying that they’ll “send that other thing in another box”. Whaaaa????
OMG really??? two of these so far (based on this thread) your appears to be sans-key ....... the suspense is maddening....
Fabulous drawing.
^^ Terrible 'shameless' plug from the guy who drew it ^^
Hardly shameless. Those stick figures produce nothing but shame.
ChadP you should sell your artwork ... might make meh money...
@lisa Agreed. Let's do it.
@ChadP send some art inventory & I'll make a valiant effort to sell 'em. Maybe send one of those keys too, and whatever they belong to ;-D
comments accompanied by a beaker -- meh -- make me :)
I fought the law and the law won. Since my silly goat was deleted from the other fuku thread (after I suggested they close it,) I figured I'd share another with you:
The goat in the back is tired of the other ones shit and planning murder.
On another note, goat 1 immediately went to the Chiropractor upon completion of this water drinkingness
It's a shame that this wasn't made into a looping gif because it totally could have been
are those distillery barrels?
My fuku bag in all it's glory:
Contains:
Meh bag
Terrifying squeaky seal with sharp pointy teeth
Camera bag
Snoopy Delivers figurine
5 pr. of reading glasses
Meh.
I love the chair in the background and the JBL Ghost speakers. Sadly mine died a few months ago and I miss them.
Yeah I probably should have taken the time to crop, but you know... Meh
my dog threw up the terrifying squeaky seal four times this morning. don't give it to your dog.
@katylava I tried to get him to play with it last night. He was NOT having it!
I'm jealous of the Snoopy Figurine!
Schoooo, if I haven't received mine yet, at what point should I start to panic and flail? I fully understand that just by posting this here, now, it will be delivered today.
edit to note that I have not, as of yet, received tracking information for said fukubag
That's probably because we're stealth shipping these. Earlier in the thread it I saw there's a FedEx tracking for your address you can setup
Thank you, @hollboll! I visited the FedEx link, but I'm not eligible because I'm shipping to my office, not a residence, d'oh!
No need to panic ... fedex says mine isn't arriving until Saturday .... patience .....
@jennyland that mehst have been the plan all along.
According to fedex mine shipped thursday, clocked in at 1.9lbs and 12x9x5, and should get here monday.
@LazyZombie 's box shipped out Friday, looks like it still has placeholder dimensions(2lbs, 9x9x9) and should get here saturday.
Which is worse? The slow truck or the non-updating truck?
Maybe the non updating truck IS the surprise. They'll leave the dead FedEx truck on the lawn.
OUT FOR DELIVERY!!!!
Woohoo! Mine's out for delivery also. 2 days ahead of schedule. If it weren't so Meh, I'd be damn excited!
Holy crapdoodles! We got ourselves a SHAKE WEIGHT!!!!
What kind of company would send someone that? Pics or it didn't happen.
Yea what he said ^
yeah! i wanna see these crapdoodles too. i HIGHLY doubt they're holy.
It's at the post office!!
I don't think that meme will ever get old to me. Makes me laugh every time.
My favorite activity on meh: scrolling through super long threads
Well the wife's fukubukuro arrived. As expected pretty meh.
1 fozzie bear coffee mug
1 lunar rover salt and pepper combo
1 bag with no eyes
3 crayons
I irk comic
1 Kindle fire case
3 reader glasses
does this count for the googly eyes? http://couponsforamazons.com/coupon-for-accoutrements-giant-googly-eyes
If only. Sadly they cost more than the fukubukuro. I'll just sit in the corner crying about the bag that could have been. Haha
Or you could just use that extra crayon to draw on eyes
Valid point. Expect pictures in the next day or so. They will likely be terrible.
@hollboll/@mehcus, what did you guys do with all of these eyes you must have stolen?
@hart I'll never tell.
Don't feel bad, my husband's bag had a Mystixx vampire doll with an additional Hannah Montana outfit. (Could be someone switched boxes ;) .)
Got my fukubukuro. As meh as everyone elses:
5 reader glasses in varying strengths
1 Kindle Fire case
1 Pork timer, pig shaped
1 Wonder Woman photo book
1 cap Cannon (no caps tho)
1 irk comic (which I agree with *)
2 crayons (red and yellow)
1 paper bag
1 small googly eye
1 medium googly eye
10 pillows of Addison air (which I breath daily anyway)
btw...mine said it was a 9x9x9 box but the actual box was very over large
My fuku bag arrived at work today also.
This was so underwhelming, I'm actually excited to get back to work. Thanks, I think.
Why hasn't anyone posted their puppets yet?
SHOW ME YOUR PUPPETS.
@hollboll , I may be in my own little world here, but that gif gives me little bit of the heebie jeebies.
shoulda read the note
Make your own bag of __
Mom said I shouldn't show my puppet to strangers on the internet
My meh.
The seal is terrifying. I think it might eat one of the children.
So Excited...Got my bag..box...crap...whatever...
1 really pretty laptop sleeve (daughter stole it immediately)
1 really cool Betty Boop Utensil holder..(Ebay selling them for 24.99 to 32.00 so I'll keep it...)
1 Large Camera Case..Polka Dots..Love it
1 Large Alien Wall Relief (Ebay...16.95 or more....hum might have an auction..
1 Very Cool Edward Sissorhands Tin with playing cards( collectors item also selling on Ebay)
5 pairs of readers glasses...Cool cause I need em.
One comic strip
One paper bag, 2 crayons red and yellow, only one googley eye and a make your own meh bag directions.
So fun...Thank you MEH!
you seem to have scored the meh goldmine.
I went to check fed-ex to see if my wifes box has arrived yet... Still sitting at the post office. But I noticed a 3rd tracking number from Meh.com This can mean one of 2 things. My wife got a note about a separate shipment or Meh is sending the kickstarter t's we ordered on d-day. Either way... Meh.
Yeah, those shipped yesterday
I will tell you all what I got later, maybe, but I just realized something.
I haven't gotten my zero-day meh. shirt yet.
Yep - the Fuku's were prioritized over the shirts as they were actually transacted on prior via Kickstarter
Hey, you know...if you check your FedEx tracking alerts...there might be something...
Fed Ex hates me. I've always had trouble with their site. I am "geezer challenged." Sigh.......guess I'll just have to wait.
every time I click on the most recent activity link from the main forum menu for this thread it takes me to Carl. Not that I don't love Carl... actually I fucking hate Carl. Not the point.
this has been a mediocre bug report.
hey! what the fuck do you have against Carl(s)?
I never received a tracking email :/
And you never will...Muwahahahahah
Nobody did. You have to create a fedex account and enter your address info to see if anything is coming your way.
ahh ok got it, delivery tomorrow. 14x10x6 in. 1.7 LB
Or you can check for tracking here https://meh.com/orders.
All good and well, @Thumperchick 'cept these fukubukuros weren't ordered on meh! Ain't gonna show on your orders, I'm afraid.
@medz - well... there is that...
FedEx sucks and will not let me set up a shipment alert. So I'm stuck waiting.... How appropriate? Anyone from PA receive their fuku yet?
Nope, my FedEx is saying "error" right now, but yesterday when it let me check it said Friday. (I'm from PA)
Also in PA. No box yet and no fedex workaround for PO Boxes. No worries here. Almost skipped the threads as spoilers but here I am!
I got mine.
@jimmyd103 I'm in central PA; mine is scheduled to arrive today.
From the sounds of it, today or tomorrow might be the day! Thanks @mikehammer, @speediedelivery, @alacercogitatus, &@dis_member
I got a bunch of bubble wrap shoved into a box on top of
-A paper bag, 2 googly eyes, and make-your-own-puppet instructions
-A BUILT twist-top sleeve for Kindle
-Marvel Heroes thingy
-5 pairs of readers
-Wonder Woman photo book
-Mr. T Look, Listen, and Learn Book and RECORD
Overall, pretty meh.
I've scored a BoC or two in my time. But this fukubukuro is the meh'iest meh ever. I almost regret backing this meh site. A coloring book, a plastic seal, a kindle fire cover, a strawberry shortcake serving tray, and about 5 pairs of reading glasses. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO READ!! meh.
Hey now, that Strawberry Shortcake service tray is a desirable item! My daughter said she wants one.
I want one too and I'm an adult.
I'm an adult that wants it, too.
@phoeden 'almost regret' should be the tagline for the site. Mission accomplished in my book.
Yep, I want one too.
They finally updated my dimensions and weight. 16x15x11 in and 9.9 lbs.
I hope it's cans of cream corn. I bet it's cans of cream corn. Or shoes. Definitely shoes. Or rocks.
Damn I'm interested in what yours is
mine is also 9.9lbs, but 18x12x9. Can't. Wait.
Hey, I got mine. Let's see here...Kindle case, 5 reading glasses (congrats, mother-in-law), Irk comic, make your own Meh bag kit, a hilarious Gold Digger bobblehead, Spongebob Squarepants "Best Friends" plaque (I'm ok with this), and a model that I probably couldn't spell correctly.
All-in-all, not a bad bag.
Wow quite meh. Received today in NJ.
Camera Case
5 Assorted Reader glasses
A Cow beef cooking thermometer.
A 45rpm record of Mother Goose rhymes
An Alien movie wall relief
Brown bag with two crayons and meh instructions for puppet.
Meh comic
3 assorted reading glasses, which will make themselves useful as a gag gift for my father in all but law who always loses his. The bag/crayons/puppets/googly eyes/comic as standard. A kindle fire case (which, incidentally, I now know those fit my nice old generation 2 kindle keyboard!) . A large container of filter charcoal for aquariums... We can't have fish here. Nothing else. Not even Meh, that's just blah. Eh, well. Wasn't expecting much, didn't get anything interesting. Received today in Philly.
Think of what you could do with all that carbon.
Got my 19.4 pounder today.

I can honestly say this is the worst fukubukuro I’ve ever gotten from meh. Thanks so much. I fully expect the “other item” to be another pair of reading glasses.
Really nice! WTG! Mine says delivered but assuming delayed by lazy post office. I hope anyway.
Wowser that's awesome, a roomba AND a note!? Sure hoping they spread a little love around. Good on you though!

wow, great haul!
For all those that received cool Meh FU bags, please thank the rest of us who clearly took it up the pooper for you!
5 reading glasses (1 broken)
1 USB Circus Nerf Cannon (windows only, I have a mac)
1 Kindle Fire case (fits my kindle reader so Meh)
Crayons...generic and not even Crayola.
2 googly eyes
1 paper bag
Standard instructions and comic.
Enjoy all you lucky bastards. I continue my BOC/MEH FU streak where my winnings are indeed worth less than I paid.
Thank you for taking it up the pooper. I haven't gotten mine, but I am hoping that by thanking you, it will be awesome.
Congrats!
I also thank you in hopes to generate enough fuck you buckaroo karma to get a decent haul. More than likely it will be the worst.
@capguncowboy @barnabee @studerc My Pooper predicts that you will be fruitfull and multiply!
@mydrivec https://dgwilson.wordpress.com/ wrote a Mac driver/app for the missile! Enjoy :)
Well, there is one thing that's the same: there are those who GET, who still complain to those who DIDNT get. Seems about righ.
Decided I agree with Alex Trebek & gambling. Losing $10 is way more annoying than winning $100
So it looks like I am getting mine tomorrow, it's 10x9x9 and 3.7lbs. FedEx also shows the Day 0 shirt, but then I have a third package that is 8x8x8 and 1.4lbs. Not sure what this is, unless the Stanley mugs from yesterday have shipped already and it is not reflecting on the orders page.
Looks like my order page was updated...it's the mugs...
I finally set up a FedEx account under my husband's name and was able to get his verified. That was great, but sadly, the only thing that is showing up is one set of our shirts. :/ Would it only show things addressed to him or anything to our address?
It only shows things in his name to that address. I had to set up a seperate Fedex account for my wife's box. Err, her fukku thing... I quit
Only things addressed to him. My husband had to set up his own to find his Fuku tracking.
Crap. I don't know why I can get him verified but not myself. Thanks for the quick responses.
Stupid verification system. It kept asking me about People who used to live in this house. We've Been here nearly 20 years.
When I set up my husband's, the name for the last resident was the old owner's girlfriend. Also asked me where hubby's ex-wife lives.
For my account, it won't even let me get that far. It doesn't accept my entered info.
14x10x9 1.7lbs, & @ my local post Office.
So incredibly sad I didn't get a fuku box. Why oh why did not hear about the Kickstarter until 1 day before it closed...
Damn my living under a rock!
I relate. I was actually under a seashell on a beach with the family during the Kickstarter event and didn't hear about it in time. Argh!
Fedex told me I didn't exist, couldn't validate me, and had no pending stuff. So I will give it a day or two, try again if not I will email yous guys.
Shit shit shit! There's a flaw in the Matrix! Agent Smith! AGENT SMITH! HELP!
Should I be concerned, Fedex is not listing any incoming deliveries except my t-shirt. Have all the fuku's shipped?
Checked my email, seems that I listed my work address for the kickstarter survey. So I will get no info, i just have to wait patiently.
Got my fuku box today. You guys are living up to my expectations, because the contents are pretty ... well ... Meh. Thanks, I think? ;)
It contained:
4 bags of air (they appear to be from Texas)
4 pairs of +1.25 reading glasses (could prove useful soon)
2 pairs of +1.50 reading glasses
1 Retrospect Laurel and Hardy mini bust (cool)
1 Twist Top sleeve for Kindle (I own a Kindle Touch, how'd you know?)
1 brown bag containing
1 googly eye
1 red crayon
1 blue crayon
1 make your own Meh bag instructions
1 Meh comic page
Embarrassing admission: when I bought one, I thought it'd just be a crappy puppet but jumped in because I wanted to be part of the kick off. That I'm going to get a mystery box makes my day because I never got in on a mystery purchase from that other site. Also thanks to the poster who showed how to create fedex tracking acct
You're welcome :)
My fuku came Tuesday but I didn't get a chance to open it until last night. I thought the box was pretty meh, until I came here to see what everyone else got. Now I am sad because I didn't get any of the googly eyes :-{
Contents:
8 bags of air (3 deflated)
1 Irk comic
1 instruction for making a meh puppet
1 lunch bag for making meh puppet
0 googly eyes :-{
2 crayons (1 yellow and 1 purple - Easter?)
1 Silly Surfer Hoodad model kit (glue and paint NOT included)
1 skull decorated Bilt twist-top case for Kindle Fire
5 pairs of colorful reading glasses (3 colors, 3 strengths, and 2 styles)
1 gold colored wire head scratcher (my favorite fuku gift...put these in Christmas stockings last year, but neglected to buy myself one)
Congrats to those who scored big!
did you look in the bag? My eyes were in there
@nealrap Yup, after I saw reports of googly eyes, I checked the bag and under box flaps...no luck :-(
To bad you didn't mail us all the staples we sent to you
Received my box yesterday:
Oh good. Someone got the stuffed dog that we shipped.
Dog shipped separately
my tracking finally updated to 15x15x11 in and 7.3 lbs. I'm trying to stay meh, but it isn't easy. Scheduled delivery on Saturday.
Ya know, after seeing all these people receive keys I think it would be amusing to see someone receive a box full of keys. That way when they receive what the keys were intended for, they'll have to go through 100 to figure out which one opens it. Also maybe hoard the rest "just in case."
Just found out my box landed at my local PO at 4:20 this morning. 14x9x9 and 3 lbs is an...interesting...size. Hopefully it comes home today, that tends to happen with my route if it gets to the post office before 5.
And it's officially been delivered. Remember productivity? It just left for the day.
Received my FKU box last night. I was happily disappointed with the contents. The kids loved it. 5 pair of reading glasses. One creepy bobblehead "gold digger" thing, one slim kindle fire case, DIY puppet kit with crayons.
Nice!
i think i got hosed!
5 reading glasses
1 large camera case
1 puppet kit (no crayons no eyes!)
1 comic
1 beavis action figure
ugh...super meh!
This is the first beavis!
@marklog then how come i feel like such a butthead
@TheVertigo I would totally take that Beavis if you need to unload it. He'd go so well with by Bender and Hypnotoad.
Subtract one pair of glasses, make the other 4 the same strength, and get rid of the Beavis action figure and you've got my fuku.
5 pairs of reading glasses
Mr. T. read along book/record
Betty Boop utensil caddy
Kindle fire case
make your own meh bag
bubble wrap.
Jealous you go bubble wrap instead of those sealed air packets I got
My day zero shirt has shipped but sadly no fukubukuro info on the fedex site well fingers crossed
Hmm two packages incoming via fedex. Both .3lbs, both in 6x6x6 boxes. Haven't received my meh shirts, or soap dispensers, or fukukaracha... something not adding up.
Edit: woops! clicked on the same one twice. There ARE only two, however one of them is 9.9lbs! Please be a puppy. I want a puppy!
thats the shirts...mine shipped in 2 different boxes. 6x6x6 and .3 as well.
I keep forgetting I am supposed to have one of these things coming, so every time I remember, I get excited again. Then I see what others are getting, and I go back to "meh"
My Fuku bag/box arrived yesterday. Contents included:
5 pair of readers (or "cheaters" as my family calls them)
1 black squeaky seal
1 neoprene laptop case
1 Targus Essentials for iPad 3rd Generation kit (leather case, screen protector, stylus, cleaning cloth). Sticker says "also fits iPad with Retina Display". I do not own an iPad.
1 brown bag, 2 crayons, 2 googly-eyes, and 1 instruction page.
1 personalized comic page
1 Strawberry Shortcake Serving Tray.
All in all, pretty Meh.
I totally hope I get a Strawberry Shortcake serving tray
Everytime someone writes "Congrats to those who scored big," I read it as "Fuck you, jerks."
Yes, but said with love! :-)) I'm big on karma; I get, or don't get, what I deserve.
And apparently I don't deserve googly eyes O.O
Still waiting for mine. But the Woot birthday bag I scored was better than average, so I have a feeling my FKBK will be meh.
Check out my 'vette...
I have to say, Meh lied to me. Meh said that my fukubukuro was going to be meh. It was definitely a little better than meh!
My bag contained:
6 bags of fresh Texas air
1 meh brown bag with 2 crayons, 2 googly eyes and instructions
1 Meh comic
1 Flintstones kids plastic mug
4 non-prescription reading glasses of varying strength
1 "Built" skull camo case for Kindle Fire
1 Rustic Coutures women's sunglasses (they look semi decent.. maybe a gift for the girlfriend!)
1 Multi-tool with built in LED light and carrying case (actually looks very decent!!)
1 Clean Air Ball
1 Boston Red Sox (boooo) themed BIGR Headphones (again, look AND sound very good!)
aaaaannndddd:
1 Galaxy Tab 3 (refurbished in the USA), 8gb WIFI version with charging cable (Powers up and works perfectly, no defects that I can see and looks brand new!)
That is not Meh at all....
Send the Sox headphones my way. GO SOX!
"Fresh" Texas air. Nice haul! Hope you absolutely love the Red Sox.
Meh, way to send the guy from New York a Boston Red Sox themed item!!
@Weather88, ah, yes. We...uh, planned that. Good job us.
My Fukubukuro: horse head key holder, like 8 sets various power reading glasses, make my own bag, comic, ipad case, camera case, Saturday night live matchbox car, mio sport heart rate watch, Bem bluetooth plug in speaker, Samsung galaxy tab 3.
I'm not gonna lie, I was anything but meh, then I noticed the smell. Looked over, dog had shit himself all up in the kennel. That brought me back down to earth pretty quick. Ever clean crap out of a long haired dachshund? Not a fun way to spend half an hour.
Pretty great haul, and I've decided to begin referring to myself as Bukuro Banzai.
Nice
How much did it weigh?
The nicest thing is I had seriously debated getting the tablet on the Wootoff, then didn't. Yay cheapness.
Slightly more than my penis, but less than a bowling ball
@bhodilee, side note: our scales don't work well with tiny objects.
I almost grabbged one of those Tab3's yesterday during the Wootoff as well. I doubt I'm as fortunate as you though :)
@hart, it says it measures in grams, so I stand by my assessment
My box was delivered today (FedEx said it would be tomorrow)!!
and, of course, I'm at work....
My wife sent me a pic to taunt me. Looks like a pretty big box!
YOU GOT 2 CATS TOO!!!! UNLUCKY!!!!
Got mine!
5 Glasses, 3 strengths
Comic
Make your own bag instructions
paper bag, yellow and orange crayon, one eyeball. guess I'll be Leela.
Sharper image Met-o-meter. Now we will know how long the walk was!
Collectible salt and pepper Lunar Rover. Since the lunar rover was made on Long Island, I guess it just wanted to be closer to home!
Camera case that will stretch to fit a variety of electronic gadgets.
3 bags of air...one was deflated.
Thanks meh!
Now if TT tells me how to post, I'll take a picture. What I was doing in the past doesn't work anymore :
Or maybe I'll play with those thing next to the say it
I think playing is the way to go!!! try to break something!
Go to tinypic.com follow easy instructions to get your photo up and sized to post. Then do it !
I haven't received my Fukubukuro yet. Maybe that's a good thing since it seems like the later have been better. Wishful thinking on my part.
I hope you're right.
ditto, though I am conflicted. . is meh, better? is better, meh? should I be excited? should i be meh? i am excited and meh.

Laptop sleeve
5 reading glasses

Mr.T Mystery of the mind thieves
The Winner kids book
Flintstones cup
Hamburger Harmonica
Squeaky seal
Bag/crayons/one eye/comic
Meh
The post office suggested I refuse the package, because something glassy/pottery was definitely broken inside, small pieces would fall out. Looking at the pictures, it was probably the cup. I should have just taken it. What did I expect? Some high priced collectible that I really wanted in one piece? Now I probably won't get a replacement fuku package. My loss. :-(
First, it was probably broken before it shipped. Second, an RMA on a fuku would be priceless. You really sent it back?
Shit, they forgot to bubble-wrap the Ming vase!
Anything we shipped is far more likely to be from the Duck Dynasty than the Ming Dynasty
Never.Ever.Ever do what the post office tells you too. Unless they have a gun http://tinyurl.com/mfzcdxz
yours probably had a key in it, haha.
It was probably the Betty Boop canister, mine was shattered in many pieces. It was still the most valuable thing Meh sent me.
got mine yesterday:
bag with instructions, eyes & crayons
comic
5 reading glasses (none my strength)
camera bag
Mr T read along book
x-mini speaker
Bevis action figure
That's it. Mine is sitting at the post office waiting to be delivered tomorrow???
I'm going over there to get it early. They've let me do it before. I'll just say it's urgent. "There might be living critters in there!"
To be fair, that's possible.
Just tried this. Post office has never heard of smart post. I showed them my fedex screenshot and they thought it was a scam.
Or possibly scamola.
No sign of my fuku. Fedex says nothing's scheduled to be delivered to me. So sad.
Are you tracking your Fukubukuro package through FedEx Delivery Manager? I couldn't register for that service because something was wrong and now I'm locked out.
make sure you capitalize proper nouns and what not its a big pain in the ass
Wait... should I have gotten tracking info? I have gotten no tracking info.
All of them were shipped as of Tuesday. Unless you sign up for that FedEx thing @capguncowboy was talking about you won't get a tracking #.
Ah, thanks. I missed that while ignoring this thread because spoilers.
Have all boxes been shipped? Or still being processed?
I'd also like to know... it's tough avoiding spoilers in this thread!
Literally 2 lines of comments up from yours @JonT says all of them were shipped as of Tuesday.
@Bingo Check timestamps if you were being snarky. If not, I'd already seen that before your post.
Just got mine (and the wife's). We're quite happy with them!

I think that mine was so bad because @JonT and I are fighting. That's what I get for vowing to get revenge on him for choosing a 1 as his number and knocking me out of that contest 3 weeks ago. CURSE YOU JonT!!!!
I blame the scapegoat for making you blame me. Curse you @Ryaneil!
Let's not fight anymore @TheVertigo…We're shipping out the prize for the contest you actually managed to win today.
@JonT You're right I blame @ryaneil for me blaming you for my garbage.
Can't we all just get along?
Mine came today, with a plethora of vintage toys and readers
Fixed the image link for you. When you link to an imgur…image just use the actual .jpg or .png link by clicking on the image :)
Thank you, @JonT!
Maybe it's just me, but that's a pretty cool face on the paper bag puppet.
A canon? You got a canon? Now you can brag the the post office brought you a canon.
Also, my box was 3.6 lbs & was 22x18x7.
Indeed, @Teripie! It's like the back of a vintage comic book asploded in my box! Where are the x-ray glasses & sea monkeys?!
My haul! It has arrived!
... meh.
They sent you cat legs?! Those monsters!
@JimCil In my house we call those things paws.
@nealrap I debated on whether to go with paws or legs...in the end I figured more than just the paws were showing so I went with legs.
In short....I spent way too much time thinking about it.
@JimCil if it makes you feel better I literally laughed out loud at your cat legs reply.
Seems that there have been many pet legs/heads/goats involved with this whole Fuku process.
It does, thanks @JonT!
@JimCil @JonT Agreed. I literally laughed out loud when I read that comment.
Mine was not as Meh as expected.

Much, much better than meh, so not meh. I don't know whether that qualifies as great or a failure to reach proper mehdom.

I received my fukubukuro bag today. Woot!
Mine contained:
1 Kindle Fire case (Green with skulls)
A Meh single page comic
1 Paper Bag and a template to make a bag puppet
1 Purple Water Bottle
2 Packs of Mello Smello Stickers (Coffee and Root Beer)
6! Pairs of Reading Glasses

2 Crayons (Red and Purple)
1 14pc Knife Set with Block
1 Googly Eye
.
.
and a note!
wow such good draw. many talent.
I wonder who drew this one!
@cowboydann is that me or you? Can't be me. I always wear pants and a shirt
I should add - best part about my note was I didn't see it at first. It was stuck under something. Didn't see it til I was taking the pic!
@cowboydann @capguncowboy who has the better creeper-stache?
Edit: I can't even grow a moustache, but i really wish I could, so maybe it's inception CBD
Nevermind guys. It's just Hyram. More disappointment to brighten my day <3
All the speculation on who the 'stache person is and none for monocle dude?
@bingo That's monocle man. He's fancy
@Bingo Did you need something?
@MonocleMan Nope! Just didn't want you to be left out as no one was talking about your awesome portrait.
@MonocleMan Also, thanks a lot. Now I have TMBG's Particle Man stuck in my head. Except I'm saying Monocle instead of Particle
I got my mine today as well. It wound up being much more than the meh I expected.

FedEx had the box listed at 2.0lb and 9x9x9, but it was definitely heavier and larger than that.
Thanks Meh!
Wow! Nice one!
So, I was hoping an employee would see my post. My box got delivered today to my desk at work, looking like this:
I guess someone else just had to see what was in it before me. I highly doubt it was our mail room guys. Do you meh guys know what else might have been in it, if anything?
Anywho, here is what was left in it. Not too shabby of a haul. I work for a company in the automotive industry so the corvette will be a nice desk bauble.
2 - Crayons

5 Reading glasses of various strengths
1 Cow shaped beef thermometer
1 Twist top sleeve for Amazon Fire
1 Ertl 1995 Corvette model. Yellow, convertible
1 Star Trek story EP circa 1979
For the record, I was an early bird on the kickstarter. I wonder if that effected peoples Fuku's at all.
Thanks Meh!
It had a signed mickey mantle card, A Rolls Royce and shoot. i forgot what the last thing was. was it a mansion?
Hey @bruceoite. We were able to find the package weight for your box and it seems like that's about right, but other than that
I'm afraid we can't tell you for sure what was in it when we shipped it.
Thanks Jon! Hopefully nothing was taken. Stupid Chicago Postal Service. I do enjoy what I got!
I'm so jealous! Post office is still trying to find our Fukus even thought the tracking says they've been delivered...sigh.
OMG, OMG - uh, I mean meh. Haven't had anything this good since I got a robosapien 8 or 9 years ago. I don't know how to post pictures, so here's a list:
paper bag kit w/2 crayons and 2 googly eyes
5 pair of reading glasses
2 Alien something or others, one with a leg broken off
1 porcelain pack of Wrigley spearmint gum w/1 stick of gum
1 Little Tykes Hot Dog (You pull the pickle to make it wiggle. Seriously.)
1 BUILT laptop sleeve
1 envelope that says "Do Not Lose This" with a key
1 message that says something else is coming
//trying not to hyperventilate//
Use the paper bag...inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale..Insert smiley face here!! Can't wait too see what that key opens!!
Show us a picture of your stuff (and note!)
@hollboll That's what she sa.... Never mind.
You got a note!!!!??!!?!?!?
@hollboll, repeat, don't know how to post pictures. Actually, just got a smart phone and don't know how to take pictures yet.
@pooflady load your photo onto a hosting site like photobucket/flickr/imgur. Right click on the picture and copy url post in comment! done.
@pooflady, You're not alone; I'm a Luddite. I don't even own a camera. But I did get a Chromebook in my Fuku box. I just can't prove it. :(
"Load your photo onto a hosting site." LOL I have no idea how to do that. I will learn. Soon.
I didn't realize that the paper with the artwork and the envelope with the key were together.
@pooflady We have to see it! http://www.wikihow.com/Upload-Images-to-Imgur
@pooflady another suggestion. email your photo from your phone to halp@meh.com. The Meh wizards have some fairy dust they can sprinkle.
@pooflady if you need help on how to email from your phone, post the type of phone and we can walk you through.
Emailed it to halp, who must have used the fairy dust because it's posted farther down. Thanks halp.
@pooflady confirmed. Fairy dust and dragon tears.
Hi! Yep, we had to temporarily take the old topic down while we figure out the specifics of that forum trouble that happened earlier.
I think we coded the forum to assume you'd all be more disappointed and down about what you got, so the code was a little confused at some people seeming happy. Or at least that's my understanding of it, but I'm not exactly fluent in database.
I believe we'll be able to get the other fuku topic back up soon-ish, and at that point I'd love it if anyone who posted in here would copy their post over there so we can have one central Fukubukuro Kickstarter topic. We might even kill this one, just to avoid confusion from future archaeologists trying to discern what happened here.
Until then, of course, post away.
Just got mine today, and it wasn't as mediocre as I thought it would be:
5 pair of reading glasses
1 Irk comic
1 paper with 2 crayons
1 Make a Mask sheet
1 Camera case
1 Dog pedometer (intended for the dog, not the owner)
1 Garden hose accessory- Sprinkler with Dragonfly
Just so you guys know: Dog Pedometers are just malfunctioning ones that doubled up the step count, repackaged to dog bones to cut losses.
Even if I don't get a key surprise in my box, the suspense of knowing what they are for is driving me crazy!
I got one. And it's coming tomorrow. ahhhhh. "Squealing"
I am really really hoping anybody who gets a key just gets a bicycle lock. That would truly be meh.
Maybe, but the staff artwork that comes with the key is totally priceless....
Artwork?
Did you not get a stick figure cartoon with your envelope.
@pooflady, some of us drew comics like this one: https://meh.com/forum/topics/new-maybe-temp-fukubukuro-thread#53d1987cd64c5ae409834f7b
Maybe she's questioning if the stick figure drawings should be considered artwork?
I didn't realize the paper with the artwork and the envelope with the key were together.
I was really hoping I'd get mine today, but no luck. I've really enjoyed seeing the variety of stuff everyone else has gotten, though. Can't wait to find out what the keys are for.
So I've been trying not to read the threads too closely because i like surprises, but should I be concerned (or, arguably, relieved) that FedEx has no record of a fukubukuro enroute? I see my shirts but nothing more.
Probably not, as long as you replied to the Kickstarter email. We're pretty sneaky. If you still don't have it by next week, then check back
Speaking of sneaky, it was on my doorstep this morning. I checked when our postman left our street yesterday and it wasn't there. Mysterious
My missing "other item" looks to weigh exactly 40 pounds, but I probably won't have it until next week. (Saturday maybe)
O'course the weight on my original fukubukuro stayed exactly 2 lbs until it passed through the next FedEx location, so the weight might be meh trickery.
Well I got my fuck you buckaroo today and let me tell you, it was everything I expected. A bit bummed but who knows maybe some day I'll get lucky.
5 pairs of reader glasses.
Puppet and comic combo again with no eyes
2 crayons
1 Aladdin travel mug
1 old mother goose record.
The end. Yup, the end. Pretty sure my wife got the superior box. Rough value.
Glad I'm not the only one whose box was truly meh. I was pretty entertained until i saw these posts and now I am just saaad.
I received my box of meh today too. It included:
5 pair of reading glasses (various strengths)
1 Irk comic
1 paper bag with 2 crayons (1 green, 1 yellow) and 2 different size googly eyes
1 Make your own bag of Meh instruction sheet
1 Camera case
1 Mooing cow beef thermometer
1 Laurel and Hardy porcelain box (inside says, “Here’s another fine box you’ve gotten me into.”)
Is there any way to track the Fukubukuro? I'm heading away from home a few days and afraid it's going to show up when no one is here...
You have to sign up for an account (free) on Fedex's site. Then click "manage my deliveries", answer some questions and hope it works!
@capguncowboy dang. it claims 0 shipments.
That's why I said "hope" :) Did you possibly use another address... or name? The name on your account HAS to match the recipient
@capguncowboy ah. changed it to my shortened name, but still no luck. tnx anyways
Mine came by USPS, not Fedex.
@rockblossom meh uses Smartpost: Fedex delivers to your local post office so USPS can deliver to you.
@gio : Yup. For me, smartpost never shows on the Fedex tracking. Just sayin'.
Received my early bird fukubukuro today
1 - Wonder Woman Photo Album (no photos included)
1 - Davey and Goliath Coloring Book (with Holy Advice)
1 - Paper Bag and Instructions for Bag of Meh (with included googly eyes and crayons)
1 - Irk Comic
1 - Alien Wall Relief
1 - Fairly Odd Parents Cake Pan
1 - Hot Dog Baby Toy (vibrates)
1 - Built Laptop Bag (in beautiful floral print)
Thank you for giving me all the thrill of opening a random box of stuff, only to find inside an assortment of crap! Quite a meh experience indeed. Excited to see what the notes lead to! (and secretly cursing all those who got one instead of me)
One bag
One bag puppet kit
Two googly eyes
One comic
Two crayons
Five reading glasses
One Click large camera case
One Spongebob F.U.N. plaque
One Eragon playing cards with tin
One Classic Marvel Battle Team-ups Wolverine and the Thing
One Marvel Heroes Switchable 3D Sticker The Beast
One Gamer Graffix 15" notebook computer skin "Scarface"
So not totally Meh. Spongebob is the penultimate cartoon representation of evil, outdoing Dr. Doom and the evil Aku. Even zombie monkeys fear him so he will ward the secure lab. I can use the playing cards to practice throwing at targets like little pasteboard shurikens, and my bag puppet has already discomfited a cat. Its the goggly eyes, I think... little bugger doesn't like them at all.
So you'll have to do better next time. I look forward to not having anything to look forward to.
@dunda you're right. I can't explain it well haha!
Glasses (5 pair, assorted)
Byo 'large' camera case

(and unintentionally, a reminder of why I don't like to gamble)
FunFact™ Box came addressed to the wife who opened it & then called me to ask, "why is there a box of crap addressed to me in our front hallway?"
This came from ebay... 1$ & free shipping, so I banished the meh with Ned!
I know I am supposed to get an early bird Fukubukuro, but I'm too dumb to figure out when I'm supposed to receive it. I haven't gotten any notice of a shipment or anything.
you wont get a notice. just the box...unless you have reverse tracking through Fedex.

Wonder Woman photo book
5 pairs of reading glasses, 2 powers
BUILT Kindle Fire sleeve
Meh comic

I'll post a photo and more info on the vinyl @catdad

You wins the internets
OK, my fukubukrodgers is in my home city. delivery manager says 'might take one or two days'. does anything think it's worth it to call the USPS and ask if i can pick it up?
Don't rush the disappointment. It's better to stay in this thread and admire the success of others instead or hanging your head in defeat.
@trailmix my preference is to get way too amped up so the disappointment is extra shitty
They're not supposed to release packages for early delivery, but if you ask nicely, my local Post Office does it anyway
