This came today, and I’m certainly happier with these curated items compared to the surprise box. Went with the $250 + $10 for EDC specifier. Will definitely get use out of at least four of these items, although up in the air with the lantern (I’ll typically use a headlamp for outdoors, more compact and functional from my end).
I think someone dropped the ball with packing, since I received a Mionix Castor (a gaming mouse not on the list, but half the price of the “uncommon” Mionix Naos). I actually really need a replacement mouse, so tempted just to use it.
Heres the list, Googled prices for items no longer listed
Black Koss KPH30IK (common audiophile, $30) - I use a Porta Pro for walking around the city. I like the open design to keep me from being totally oblivious, and they have great sound for “beaters.” Look forward to using these as potential replacements.
Luminaid Packlite (common outdoors, $20) - well reviewed, inflatable lantern whose main appeal seems to be solar recharge function, will probably end up keeping in car for emergencies.
Black Mionix Castor gaming mouse (??? Gaming/electronics, $40) - this is ostensibly the uncommon item, seems solid but a step down from the Mionix mouse listed.
Seki 2-piece grooming kit (uncommon EDC, $60) - two nice, well presented nail clippers (not sure who they think they’re fooling by calling it a grooming kit, but whatever). Solid construction.
Drop x Armourlite Ember T100 (rare EDC, $300) - not a big watch guy, which is part of what led me to pick the EDC. Fashionable and versatile without screaming for attention, although might look into replacing the band (which I don’t think does the face justice).
ThisIsntSteveGreat haul and congrats! The mouse was superseded as per Kevin's post a while ago - https://drop.com/buy/drop-bounty-box/talk/2475965?utm_source=linkshare&referer=T57GJ2 Others have mentioned that the superseded item is not nearly as good as the original one posted but I'm not a gamer so I wouldn't know.
I am, however, jealous of your Armourlite Ember T100 watch! I am a watch collector and I would be super happy if i got that in my bounty box! I'll get mine tomorrow and I have Outdoor curated (didn't have EDC curated because of that Swisstool and fountain pen option) but congrats again!
ThisIsntSteveNice items you got in that set!
Maybe one day I'll purchase one and hopefully I'll get a watch kind of like your's considering it's one of the things I'm really into.
goofydanishAh, missed that! Yeah, the way I see it is that I paid $260 for a $300 item that wouldn't normally be on my radar with ~$80 of extras thrown in.
