I have absolutely zero willpower. I just hopped on the PS website to see if any limited box info had been released yet & was at checkout in less than a minute. I regret not getting the NM box last year & still mourn for the necklace & lovely wrap blanket. I'm excited to see what's in this one! I canceled my Glossybox after the Bergdorf box, skipped PS October because it wasn't for me & will be very picky about the next few monthly boxes. That totally justifies the price for me personally. I feel a little giddy!

 
$250 is a lot.. I plan to spend less than $200 in November on shopping, and I have Sephora's vib sale to look forward to, and need some clothes,  so I am out. Hope the box is awesome and will make you all happy!

 
Soooo after trying all last night and half of this morning to order it on various idevices and laptops, I finally got it to work on my phone...only to get the confirmation and find that I accidentally ordered TWO boxes.  I wasn't resizing the windows when ordering because doing that made the screen go blank and I couldn't order, so it's KIND OF my fault but at the same time, this never would have happened if the new site didn't suck.  And 3 of my twitter friends said they almost ordered two as well.  I will not be happy if I'm forced to spend $500, since $250 was spendy enough.  I regretted not getting last year's box ALL YEAR though, so I really wanted it.  I hope it's just as great. 

 
I would rather purchase this box in store, plus I would like to know what is in it first. Not sure if Im gonna take the plunge tho, I almost feel like Id do a better job picking out my own goodies with $250

 
Ooooh fun so any guesses what's in this one....

Oh who am I kidding. I fought the urge for half an hour. Started hyperventilating then I took the plunge (AFTER I told a gf who totally cheered me on). No more popsugar regular box... unless I decide on gifting everything away.

 
I bought it! Ahhhhh! Now I have to go cancel my Meme boxes and something else lol

 
I really am having a hard time not getting this! I would have loved last years. But my wallet is telling me to calm down; I recently found out a much needed grant didn't come through at work, so it is only a matter of months before I will be unemployed. I so can't afford it! But it looks sooooo tempting!

 
Didn't this box sell out in less than a day last year?  I wonder if they made more or if people are holding off buying b/c of the October clusterf*ck.  I'm so tempted and added it to my cart.  I think I would have done it,  but with taxes it bumped up to $265 which pushed me over the no edge.  If the spoilers wind up being amazing I'll buy it at neiman marcus 11/5!

 
I caved, Then my husband saw the charge and was like um your monthly box is $250? Lol. I missed out on last year and was super bummed knowing is a colab with nemain marcus and the fiasco with this months box I think they will really blow the November box and the NM box out of the water to get subscribers back

I'm going to hold off. I bought last year's box and I still love it, the roadkill zebra dish really cheers up my cubicle at work, i still use those imperfect dishes, blanket is still really nice (not warm but good for southern California winter), and I still occasionally use the lmb kaleidoscope. So a year later I think it was worth it to me. But this year, $250 is a huge gamble when they've had so many issues. Their home items were so great and I love that they get daily use, I guess I'll wait it out and hope they are available with spoilers.

 
Im curious why everything thinks they will be able to SEE what's in the box when they buy it in store on the 5th.  Maybe it will be a mystery box in store as well?  Maybe by the time they get spoilers it will be sold out in their store?

 
To avoid any ordering complications, I think I am going to order from NM. That way if they have delayed shipping problems from popsugar it won't tick me off.

well maybe If you get two, and i don't get one beforehand you could sell one to me????

Last year they added a spoiler of the box as soon as it launched and it sold out within 24 hours.  I'm surprised they didn't do a spoiler right off the bat this time.  As for buying this box, I'm still on the fence.  Last years box looks really awesome but $250 is a LOT to drop on a box.  $100 for the Fall LE that I super DID NOT like at all was enough but then again.... I totaled up the $$ I've spent on Memeboxes in the last year and almost passed out.    I've got my hand on the trigger but I just can't do it quite yet without some sort of spoiler.

I don't think that at all. But I am hoping for spoilers from others that do buy it in stores! And that those spoilers will be out when I'm off work on the 5th.ETA If it's sold out in stores after spoilers are released I'm ok with that too and take it as a sign I should throw some money at cost plus world market for nice lesser quality equivalents to whatever home goods are offered :)

I really want the grey/white chevron throw from last year but it's sold out on NM's site.  I'm still tempted to get the blue or the navy one -- They're now down to 72.75 on their site (extra 25% off since the last time I looked -- good thru Monday).

But...  I don't need a throw.  Ever.  LOL -- well stocked here.
