No!!! Even though I haven’t been able to acquire said BOC recently, I still get excited when they pop up. The BOC’s are so much fun!!!

Karnac moment:
The BOC will morph into themed mystery boxes. Easier to get with disappointment on an exponential level. Each time you buy one, the disappointment doubles.

I love the absolute randomness of the current BOCs. The “mystery box” of some specific topic will ruin that. I’ve got a fair sized extended family/friends network. I usually can find an appreciative receiver for at least 1/2 the BOC stuff. I usually also find a tidbit or little treasure for me. The rest I donate to a thrift shop or other. Once, with a whole bunch of appliance light bulbs I drove to a local appliance repair shop and offered them. After the guys there realized I was serious and not selling anything, they were quite appreciative.

I sincerely hope the hinted-at changes are at least something along the general theme of current BOCs.

I do understand corporate necessity to change business plans occasionally, and promise I won’t whine and carp. But will just quietly go away if the new product isn’t fun/useful to me/semi-economical .

So this is a conundrum… I am out of BOC jail on Sunday. Do I try for one last classic BOC if something pops up and risk being in jail for the big birthday party OR do I wait and risk extra disappointment with the changes?

  • Grab a BOC while you still can!
  • Wait and be one of the first to get the new disappointment.

For a reasonable fee, you’ll be able to purchase early turd check-in. This will allow you to try to purchase a BOC before others without early turd check-in. “Good” items will sell first leaving the later BOC purchasers fighting over scraps.

Isn’t the “fighting over scraps” what we’re already doing now? :rofl:

I am in the same boat. I don’t want to miss out on the new thing though. And what if all the “last” straggler bags are like a consolation prize? I really wanted the duckie though :frowning:

Maybe they will waive the 31 days starting fresh with the re-vamp? Anyone?

I checked with my made-up legal team and they stated that the 31 day BOC jail is for the BOC only. No BOC, no 31 day jail.

Even without the made-up legal team, this would most likely be the correct assumption.

Good points. I did get a white/yellow duckie, so maybe I will hold off and be the first to try the new. It won’t be easy to wait!

UPDATE 5/29/24 at 2:51 PM (give or take): The only way to lift the update suspension is if all Wooters do this simple thing in perfect harmony:

- Wave your arms like a chicken
- Say “Woot, lift thine suspension, quack quack quack”
- Click your heels together 42 times

That’s it! Simple!!
