We were on a bus on the way home to receive it and I said to Stormy, "When we get there, I'm going to make myself vomit on the shipping box before I open it and I want you to take a picture of it, okay?" She even said she would, but then the shipping box was so mauled that I decided not to.
This thing is unbelievable; seriously the nicest box set I've ever seen. I'll post lots of pictures once I get a little more natural light in this room.

I'll be the UPS doods opened it up, used it, and then attempted to repackage.
That thing looks like a bunch'a apes tossed it around. I'd be pissed if I were HG, waited that long for it to be delivered, and it were damaged or something.

Yeah it was a little scary at first, but it was packaged up pretty well and there was no damage. I wouldn't want to be the one on the receiving end of that phone call at UPS if there was any damage.

A lot of people had theirs utterly destroyed in the shipping process. I saw pictures of one dude's set which was completely waterlogged, and another dude that had to piece the zoetrope lid back together with gorilla glue. You better fucking believe I would have dropped some serious rage on UPS customer support if mine had gotten fucked up.

Oh now, I've been a lot better. This particular thing would not be something that I would have fucked around with, though.

Jus' joshin, G-Ma.
In all fairness, you have.
Though for as long as you had to wait for it, you anger would've been completely justified if it were damaged.

He would have barfed through the phone into the person's ear.

That picture goes so well with your signature, Cat!
It's true, though: even though my set was undamaged, I am furious enough on behalf of my fellow Elfman fans that I am going to go murder someone.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not actually going to shoot anyone.

That picture goes so well with your signature, Cat! Hahaha! I didn't even notice that it matched my signature. Good call. My sympathy goes out to your elf friends, though. That sincerely sucks.

I feel like the kid whose parents just told him he can eat candy for dinner every night for the rest of his life. I'm walkin down the street and my feet are all BOOM boom BOOM boom BOOM boom and the birds are all like DUH-NUH-DUH-NUH LA LA LA LA.
