Airgun Depot Mystery Box Opinions

This has been on my mind as well, although I’ve only seen one “big” winner. The basic box values look better than the last promo. This looks suspicious. Still good to see someone win items worth a lot more than the cost of the box. That RAW is about the only thing I’ve seen come out of these mystery boxes that I’ve ever considered buying aside from AA pellets.
The "big" winner has only ever posted in this thread too lol.
 
Guys, looks like "they're" onto us. The elaborate corporate scheme to deceive has been discovered. All of us fake reviewers that have just joined have been "outed". Well, it's either that, or people are paranoid beyond belief. Folks, get a life. Is it really inconceivable that people might have joined out of sheer excitement and curiosity? I for one just joined, got roughly $500 in value. Who do you think is behind my desire to post about it? AGD? Time to slink back inside, away from the light, back to Mommy's basement, tucked away behind your keyboards, and let folks that are happy, be happy. Worry about whether the moon landing was staged or something else.
 
I'm not going to join in with conspiracy thinking. Even last years winners got something, and it was a far cry more than they would have gotten spending $200 at a casino, or a bar, or "gentlemen's" club. Seems to me half the fun is in receiving something that you would not have otherwise bought - a chance to see if you were wrong about <whatever>.

Gotta say, although I own quite a few PCPs, there's something alluring about that Dragonfly (which I was unaware of before this thread).

I didn't get in on this one, but I'll try to get in on the next, and from the looks of it, I'd be happy with any package (even last years - I've pi$$ed away $200 on much less...

Congrats to the winners - which is everyone who is happy with what they received. It's probably not a good "investment" if you *expect* to win an M3 Impact...

Got the "basic" box. Happy enough I guess. Will be fun camping with my nephews.

Amen! I also agree with your Dragon Fly remark. I was a pure PCP guy until about 6 weeks ago, I have too many PCPs so I've been selling some off. That's when I decided to buy an HW30 and HW 50, I shoot one or both everyday and since purchased a Diana! I looked up the DF when I spotted it in one of the boxes and came away impressed. I'm hoping to get one in my boxes still to come.

This may sound a bit crazy but some of that knickknack stuff people call junk I wouldn't mind. I've always wanted to try those exploding targets, it's one of those things you might not buy, but given to ya, what the hell. Crazier, I looked up that Bodda Bang target trap that on the surface looks like a toy, then I went to Amazon and read the 4.7 star reviews. That app/game interactive target gig is pretty cool and appears it works. Perfect for my garage on rainy days or when I'm filling PCPs and I'm bored and want to shoot my CP88s. Lastly want that Red Ryder for my young nephew for Xmas, he'll love me, even if his parents won't. If I got just this stuff I listed in this post, I would be thrilled!

I for 1 love a good conspiracy theory...so maybe this is just bait on a trap line. Next year double the amount of boxes, zero good stuff inside ....maximum profit built on this threads generated expectations and excitement.

I do hope instead this a continued trend where taking the gamble at least some people get some cool stuff they actually want.

However...
If you must stir the pot, do so in a counterclockwise direction.
 
Not funny at all, but that's a story that needs to be told... What the hell happened?

Friend shot me accidentally while I was sleeping. Before this happened I was always bitching at him about gun safety.
We were partying one night and I passed out in a chair. My buddy was about 4 feet away from trying to take the barrel off. In order to so you have to cock it back and push in a lever then pull the trigger and slide the barrel foreword. There was a round in the chamber and it went off. It went through my arm first then shattered my 6th rib and cracked my 7th. It went across my liver through one my lungs bounced of the other side of ribs and stuck my left ventricle. I had Para carditus (my heart formed a membrane around it) from the bullet touching my heart.
It ended up dropping in my plural space (empty part of our bodies below our lungs) and its still there today.
I'm a really big guy and the ambulance drivers made me get in the ambulance myself lol

Wow! Not sure whether to call that 'lucky' or 'unlucky'. Your friend definitely needs training... I'm sure he's now aware... Glad you made it, that's not an insignificant amount of trauma. Thanks for filling in the details, and I'm happy that you made it.

I agree with you 100%.. I also just joined and happened to win the RAW HM1000X
I Could not believe so. Many people would complain about someone winning. I personally would have been very happy for any. One that received one of the epic prizes.. I would also have been Pleased
with anything that I would have received.
 
Got the box today. NO AIR RIFLE (cant really count CO2) ...so must be a basic, but that marking was not on the outside...

Looks like its at least $200 retail, even though I wouldn't have bought most of whats there.....will enjoy the rat target though!
