The box arrived today here at Chez Geppetto.

This is actually going to be... a challenge... It's chock-a-bloc with... everything!

I'm going to have to take some stuff out to make room for the additions I want to make.

I've taken some preliminary unboxing pictures I thought I'd share, but I haven't even gotten a quarter a way down from the top. It's really an amazing trove. Everyone who has contributed so far should be congratulated.

A very nice note from @Reenigneesrever right on top.

3D print filament. I would not have expected that, but it totally makes sense.

I have not seen a DIP-40 in person in... gosh... 10 years now. Since I had 1980's arcade games in the garage.

A very beefy... stepper motor, I believe.

A MiFi! I had one of these a while ago when LTE was brand new and I was commuting on CalTrain.

Stickers! I'll be liberating a few of those for sure.

That's a good one. I've seen that slogan before, but it's a cool sticker, even if it is upside-down.

I almost missed this. It was tucked in-between the purple tension sheets (this box clearly made it close to @oshpark) and the box wall... Bare copper clad PCB stock.

A Zune. How quaint.

Anyway, you can see how little progress I have actually made delving into the box's secrets.

As for the actual box itself... I feel like maybe replacing it might be a good idea at this point. Flat rate priority mail boxes are free, of course... Does anyone have any objection to the next recipient getting a fresh box?
