I have no idea how they packed this thing shut. Thankfully it's in a cardboard box, so overflow is contained!

Awesome tape. Gonna reuse that.

Spoiler-Alert Below!

Stupidly, I didn't piece-together the fact that the first log-entry contains links to many of the things in here... so spent most of a day looking these things up the hard way. No need to post those links here, again ;)

Stuff looks cool and all, when it's all packaged in their retail-boxes, but be sure to open 'em up. It's packed so tight there's stuff hidden in various boxes.

And check out that GIGANTIC heat-shrink!

Hey! I recognize names on a few of these boards! Also a bubble-display (oooh).

This one's hard to pass-up... Someone's gonna be lucky to get it!

Seriously, a Lego LED?

Sorry for the bad focus, but these are pretty slick... white ceramic EPROMs. Sorry if you wanted the film-canister, I couldn't fit it back in the box...

Now here's a few things I included: A PS/2 touchpad, two really groovy 6800 microcontrollers with EPROM sockets mounted atop (Unfortunately, they're for bigger EPROMs than those above, but a true 1337 Haxor could reroute a couple pins, right?)

And a project I tried to sell a while back... supply 9-15V and attach a pushbutton (or "bump switch").

There's a few other things I've thrown in, like some more heatshrink and some antistatic IC foam.

Unfortunately, I still haven't decided what I'm going to take... but tomorrow's Sunday, so you have at least 24 hours to put in a "request to not take..."

The box will soon be sent off to Hackaday's own Adam Fabio. In the map below, blue is already travelled, orange is the next trip:
