Cash Shop: Stolen Parcels
Wow, are you folks in for a spectacular treat! I have just come into a bit of wealth, and I'm passing it onto you. You see, Subeta's shops were going to sell a bunch of items for a premium this holiday season, but because I have such a big heart, I'm going to sell it all to you for half price in the Cash Shop.
There's just one catch...
You see, I've found boxes from five shops, and the shop owners have a few days to reclaim these lost shipments, so you can buy these exclusive items now, but you can't open the boxes until Wednesday, November 30. Don't worry, though. I'm sure they won't even know they're missing. And once their little grace period has passed, you can have everything in the box; no questions asked. So, what are you waiting for? Today's shipment is from Thimble & Co!! Come get your parcels and try to guess what's inside! Just don't shake them. I do not do returns or exchanges on broken goods. (Although, between you and me, some of these boxes are heavy enough to have more than one item inside!)

I really hope Subeta doesn't go down the road of putting too many random boxes in the cash shop where people can't choose what item they get... Gaia and a lot of other places made that mistake and now it's so hard to get what you want without gambling away your money until you get the item you're looking for.
P.S. To the buttface who had the nerve to say the box from Thimble is not even worth crap, I dearly hope you sell your box for cheap, uber cheap, and it turns out to have the best items of them all, all the ones you want, and no one is willing to sell them to YOU for a cheap price. And remember, be friendly on the interwebz and don't say stuff you wouldn't say in person. =) Or in some cases, learn how to keep your mouth shut from spewing garbage while in person too. =)

Dear Subeta,
You win. You shall have all my money that I have been saving for a new vehicle that does NOT get 18 mph, but more. The money I have been saving to move out of my mom's house where I am stuck eating stale old food, junk food, nothing, or spending excess money on drive through food as I was instructed by my mother to do so when hungry. Taco Bell is good, but every day of the week? It will get old sometime in the next few months! Maybe. So, shame on you! ... For tempting me with your lovely discounted price and lovely items, and lovely suspense, and all that jazz. I love you, silly Subeta. =)
Sincerely,
Someone-Who-Needs-Saving-Control =P

@BoneCollector O god, noooo! xD
@Sugar I was wondering that myself and that's why I decided to blow the rest of my sP on some more CSC for this. I like Joyce's style. I just really, really hope that whatever is in here, it's wearable.

The hustler runs off without giving you anything! I guess you can never totally trust a hustler. :):)
Dang I have no idea if I want to spend my credits on these boxes. I'm hoping for some awesome wearables but I'm scared that it might not be what I want at all :/
I think I'll just wait and see what shops the rest of the boxes are from :)

Hmm, so there will be a new one each day for 5 days? Anxious to see what tomorrow's will be :)
This sounds like fun! I had a feeling you were going to spring something else on us today! :D
okay... so are these retiring before the 30th? Or, will these just be full price after the Black Friday sale?
Because if it's the first, then buying them without knowing what's in them = worth it. If they'll just be full price after the sale/black friday, aka 125 csc more... then I'd rather pay more and know what's in them vs. blind gambling.. I'd just like some clarification before I impulse buy more than I'm actually interested in x:

I'm game. brought two. Thankfully its payday just in time for the Cash Shop Sale. I so love them Shame my bank balance doesnt.
Dang! I should've waited! Now, I've got this parcel I gotta wait to see what I've got! XD
This is making me crazy just trying to decide yes or no. hahaha... If i buy it, it will be worse trying to decide whether to open or resell.
Gaaaahhhh.
Gaaaahhhh.
hmm...if nothing else it'd probably good to resell the items if you dont like them. They'd be out at full price after the sale...not risking for Thimble & Co but for clothing shop? and maybe Subq? GOD FOR SUBQ I would die. PLEASE DO SUBQ.
I'm definitely considering this..spending the last of my CSC

Gah, I'm still so unsure. If each one would be half off on the day of release, I'd happily buy each, but I'd hate to buy the first three, then not be able to afford the last two that come from "better" shops.
yahoo got some nice stuff in it.

I was just looking to buy from the Cash Shop when this popped up. I've decided to buy these instead now. My birthday falls on the 30th so how can I resist! :D
I love the idea! And the hustler is just too cute standing on his box. I bought 2 and can't wait until wednesday to find out what's inside! :)
The boxes will be available until they're retired, which souds snarky. But we don't intend them to be super limited release. The sale price is limited though.
The items are cash shop exclusive. They will not restock later.

Will each box only be available for one day? And will each box be half off, or just the ones released during the sale?
I had to get three...I might end up getting more @User not found: __@ I can't resist mystery stuff!
Speiro is almost exactly correct. :)
Come Wednesday, they will have the option to be opened so that people who want to keep the parcels as they are may do so. The boxes are NOT chance items. You will have a 100% chance of getting the item(s) inside.

lol, I love that the Hustler is so short he has to stand on a crate. Too funny.
Not sure what I think about these mystery boxes. Will we all get the same thing when they open or will their contents be random for each player? Do we have to open them or can we keep them unopened if we choose to have the original item as a TC item?

I remember being a kid, and wanting the 'mystery box' gift bags they sold at toy stores. For five bucks you got a paper sack that had stuff in it. It was mostly crap lol but the not knowing was irresistible as a kid, and I would drive my mom batshit crying for them every single time we went into the store . . .even though I always ended up disappointed with the contents. That being said, as an adult the urge to get the mystery box is strong but I'm smart enough now to resist the temptation for fear of getting a bunch of not useful things. Good luck to the gamblers!
Will each parcel stay in the CS all week or will they disappear as the next parcel comes out?
i am very suspicious about this :) we know the hustler dont we ?? what if he "runs off" with our boxes and ggives nothing ??
Here's what it sounds like to me:
One package will be released each day from now until the 30th (one package from each shop) and you can buy them for half price, but you don't get to know what's in them. After the 30th, the packages can be opened and you finally get to see what's inside. At that time, it sounds like the contents of the packages will also be released into the cash shop at full price.
So the gamble is: buy these now at half price without knowing what you're purchasing, or wait until you can see what you're buying but you have to pay full price.

I am SO CURIOUS, but I only have 542 CSC left. BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
And what the hell could we get from Thimble and Co that's worth 125 - 250 CSC?
