So yesterday I order the box for $110 apparently you get like $400 worth of loot. You get at least one 120mm base so there is $300 left to be divided up between jacks/units , battle groups and tokens/templates. What do you guys think I’ll get and what faction?

Most likely a bunch of stuff that hasn't been through CID yet, therefore "unplayable trash" 😂

One large cardboard box with several smaller cardboard boxes inside, plus potentially some plastic bags filled with AIR!
If you dare delve into the second tier of cardboard boxes, you may be lucky enough to find plastic boxes containing plastic and metal pieces. Sometimes, though, the plastic box inside the cardboard box next to the plastic bags inside the larger cardboard box will contain another plastic bag!!! This final tier of plastic baggies will, if you discover it, contain small circular black discs.
Excitement intensifies!

What the smartasses mean to say is that no one has gotten theirs yet so we don't know exactly. However, while the last ones were set and each faction had the same stuff for everyone who got that faction, I feel like these might not. Also, they have said that you get a faction plus some Mercs or Minions that will work for that faction.

I have been wondering and pondering on what i might get in my order and when i should receive it. I live in the United States and order it the 23 of November even with the two weekends its still been in shipping & processing for five days. Its killing me because i can't track the package and was wondering if anyone else has received theirs. Any news on how many more days it should be? If you did what did you get inside it and what was its Mrsp Value?
Willing to trade you for Minions, Mercs , Khador or Trolls?

It took me about a month to receive my Mystery Box earlier this year. I would imagine a similar time frame for this promotion.

I wish I didn't bundle that purchase with some spare parts and Supreme Guardian. Feels like I'm going to be waiting quite a while now.

Don't know about these, but some of the last ones had some pretty choice stuff in them. Don't want to get my hopes up though.

The only reason I didn't buy one was that I just started a new faction based on the last blind buy and didn't want to start a second. It also didn't help that there's nothing out there about which factions are available.

It also didn't help that there's nothing out there about which factions are available. I'll admit that it was a bit of a lark but I did somewhat regret not trying in the first round when the boxes were smaller and cheaper and people basically got a colossal and bonus for $60. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same factions, but the guess about the hard plastic kits sounds plausible. Ideally, I will get a Cryx, Khador, or Cygnar colossal kit because I have a great idea on how to pose and base a Kraken and I would like to try to assemble those others such that not only are the parts interchangeable between Stormwall/Hurricane or Victor/Conquest, but the model is posable like an action figure. I'm not sure that would be feasible with the Ret or Menoth colossal kits. Or Moar Trollz, including a War Wagon or Sea King, if we are along for the ride this time. I have barely any of the Kriel Company stuff, and I imagine that Burrowers and Bushwackers aren't moving as well as Bears and Champs. So a KC-themed box is not entirely unlikely and certainly not unwelcome. A Desert Hydra would be very difficult but if I'm up to the challenge, then I'm sure I could sell it finished for a nice profit. A Storm Raptor or Archangel would be just plain lovely to paint. I would work the Raptor up like a Couatl (or should I say Quetzalcoatl?) and I know a guy who is looking for Legion models anyway. If they send me Grymkin all is forgiven if it includes OW2. :P Really, though, I can almost certainly sell the lot and at least break even or trade it for something else even if there is nothing I want.

I emailed out of curiosity last week, and was told that they were hoping to have them all shipped out by December 7th. I’m sure that date could change, so take it with a grain of salt.
I also ordered some on the 20th and they haven’t shipped out yet, so we’ll see what happens this week.

Mine has been marked as shipped, but the Post Office hasn't received it yet according to the tracking number. Shipping from Washington state which doesn't usually take too long to get to me so hopefully I'll know more within a week...Post Offices are closed tomorrow though to honor Bush Sr's passing so I don't know if it will actually be processed until Thursday so maybe by midweek next week sometime. I'll post what I get. I ordered two of them, hoping to get anything that isn't Cryx or Ret - though I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for Minions (probably unlikely), or Legion.
*Edit* Ordered mine on the 20th as well.
