I filled out the request, I wonder if they will ship to New Zealand ( I don't really wonder, I know they won't lol ).

HOLY SH*T! I got my FREE Cherry Sample pack in the mail today! I didn't think it was ever going to come! It only took them 2 1/2 months! :-\

It's a cool little plasctic case with compartments, electric box thingy, with a variety of switches. Only 2 regular switches for arcade buttons. Pretty cool. I don't know what to use the other odd switches for, but who knows.

I wish I could take a pic of the sample pack, but someone stole my digicam a couple weeks ago.  >:(

Anyone else get theirs yet?

That's an awful long time! Howmany switches did you get in there? Do any of the other ones look useful if you got creative?

(In other words, would it be worth my while to try to get some free stuff?)

After getting and pitching a stack of their CD catalogs I finally got the mini tacklebox with the switches in it. Two are arcade ready and one needs the metal lever popped off.

i dunno how "useful" they are. There's a total of six switches in the "tackle box" as pipercub said.

I am sure they are good for something with the right ingenuity.

HEY, THEY WERE FREE!  ;D

Looks like they shipped out different samples then the first run.  I posted pictures of my samples and I had a total of 11 switches.

Darn!  BobA is right!  He got magnetic switches and other goodies... a much better deal.   Oh well, can't complain because it was free  :-\

I have been getting one of those little cases every 2 weeks for two months now! I don't know...

I guess they messed up; whatever I don't mind.
