Pic taken off TT site, This is the contents, way over price for what you get. I wouldn't pay more than £20 for this

Looks rather cheap. Shame as reading it on the website it sounded good for the price. Still worth a buy if you're into limited edition runs though, or to just sell on eBay for double the price to make a quick bit of money.

Not to forget the prints that will be in there too also! Although judging by the above those will be printed on 6 x 4 inch budget photo paper bought in bulk and printed in the back of one of the Towers Street offices on a bog standard office printer...

Is that a CARD frame? What a peetake! EIGHTY quid and they can't even sling a proper frame in there.

I personally don't like the frame, the website describes it as a exclusive 3D picture frame, so I presume that it will be cardboard which is covered in that fine ribbed perspex, so when you move the frame, it will give that 3D effect. If I wanted a cardboard picture frame, I will purchase an on-ride photo, they all come with a free cardboard picture frame ;)

A lenticular.
 
If you put any number in the quantity box that is greater than 250 (or 203 now) on the product page, it tells you how many you can actually purchase. Thus, how many have been sold.

So far, 47 people have brought into this.

What a load of old tat. I'd rather have an empty box and put my own photos in.

That was my first thought when I first saw the pic of the contents.

If I purchase one, I would want to be able stick the pin badge on the lanyard along with all my other pin badges. The USB stick I would like to use. The key rings, I got a whole box full of these of ebay for a £1, I can put my own photo print in them. The lanyard looks nice, but I would want to wear it. The magnet and photo frame I could't care less about. The small bit of scrap wood is no way as nice as the souvenir one that they were selling for £25, it's not something that I would display.

I wouldn't want to take anything out of the box at that price, so therefore I won't get any enjoyment out of it, it will just be sitting in a draw somewhere collecting dust. If they sold this for £30 or less, then I might have been interested.

I feel sorry for all those that bought into the idea of it without seeing the contents... Apparently, all the content is exclusive to the box... I only want the pin as that looks pretty nice (unless my eyes are deceiving me, it looks like a nice metal cut out of the logo... If it's a printed logo on a badge, forget it!), the rest you can keep :D

EDIT: Also, the photo frame and keyrings say "Your Photo Here" whereas the ID card thing in the bottom right doesn't say that and has a picture of a man. Does that mean he is the chosen one and everyone gets his photo?

They are also calling it an "Exclusive Pre-Launch Wicker Man Photography Box" so do you get a photo outside the ride :D

It looks like a plastic pin with the logo printed on to me, cheap as chips. There will undoubtedly be a better quality pin on sale come opening day.

I'd say that at a push, because you do get several on-ride photo products included, the box is worth about £25-30. And it's probably costing them less than £10 to produce each box!

Not that I was going to buy it anyway but... They can forget it. It looked from the photo that you could see the box itself... But I guess differentiating black from black is pretty difficult :D

Is one of your other hobbies burning £50 notes? :p

I can't help but feel most people are going to be bitterly disappointed when they recieve these. Following MAP discount it will probably be cheaper to buy things like a photo package, block of wood and pin badge for much less than £80. So you have to question whether a lanyard and USB stick are really worth the extra cash.
