And even then, if you did want to take the risk, you would have wanted to do the best you could with the "stuff" not whatever happened with the thermos and cutter. Just my thoughts, though.
I completely agree that this box is less than it should be and is disappointing, and with it being Christmas it was a missed opportunity. I was just saying that I've come to expect mediocre now and then based on the other subs I dropped MCC because the mediocre boxes got to the point of far outnumbering the great ones. And I never signed up for LoC because (in my opinion) it was mediocre from the beginning. So far SB has impressed me nearly every time, and Disney has been great other than this one. And even in this one, despite the strange contents the Pop is really awesome. I think if they had just made one small addition

Or...maybe they are cursing the idea team under their breadth about how they made their jobs so much harder.
Would just love to get them in an honest moment, one way or the other.
Sometimes the boxes are so bad and they're sitting there talking about each sorry item like it's the greatest addition ever, and yeah I absolutely wonder if they're just hyping it up for the cameras. I would be terrible at sales because I can only get excited about a product if I actually like it, LOL!
