ah I was once like you; and I still think that the shallow design of the pro mouse is better than anything else I've tried ... one use of the expose mappings to my mouse buttons and I was a back to the multi-button mouse of my PC days.
Got a tip for us?

Why? There aren't any flagship openings coming up and from reports on ifoapplestore.com, there aren't going to be any more Lucky Bags.

Sorry I had multiple windows open at the same time and in a state of delerium posted in the wrong thread.
Actually, just a few months ago, Europe's first Apple store opened in London - Lucky Bag's an all. If i'd seen this thread before and known of the wonders you get inside, I would've gone to the opening and got one! Dammit.
But I've noticed a few UK people complaining about the distance in this thread. Didn't any of you guys go and get lucky bags?
Found this:
Look at that - "any combination" Imagine getting the Silver iPod Mini, 20GB iPod, Wireless Keyb./mouse, 10% off coupon, Airport express, iSight, iLife, Keynote......"
But then, also imagine spending £250 ($500) on an Insider's guide to London, Encyclopedia, .Mac, Limited Edition iPod Mini Case, Limited Edition iPod case, D-Link (?), just a wireless mouse....
Maybe it's better I didn't go and get one after all..... hmm, maybe next time. The US store one's sound much better anyway. Encyclopedia's? What's that about?

obviously if you are getting the apple wireless keyboard and you don't already have BT, then you need it.

You have seen The Mouse BT and The Mouse haven't you? They're very closely designed around Apple's Pro Mouse but with the added attraction of a scroll wheel and a button on each side.
If you're really into the style of the 'free' Apple mouse (I know I'm not) that's the way to go.

I would certainly be at a Flagship Apple Store Opening. Just waiting for one in the Boston area, we deserve one just like NYC. I'd be there with bells on. It would be an awesome experience.

Yup, I went along with two of my mates, got there for 10pm the night before - was about 180th in the queue! In my lucky bag I got: an iSight, Airport Express, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse, iLife '04, Keynote, .Mac, a Garageband Jam pack, that encyclopedia thing, the guide to London, Pro Care and thats about it I think. Guy in front of me got a 20GB iPod the lucky sod!
I sold it on eBay a few days after the opening and made a nice profit
It was an awesome experience, very cool being welcomed in by all the staff cheering and clapping!
Still have the unopened t-shirt if anyone is interested..?!
I also got a lucky bag at London and I made a massive £250 profit on the stuff I didn't want! and I still have the 10% discount to use. To the guy above I just sold my t-shirt for £50 which I couldn't believe but i was lucky as there were two people bidding against each other on eBay but you can get £20 no problems.

So far not so bad
And I bet some will be a 100% return on investment
And this one is unopened....

All auctions seem to have been pulled...

Would've been nice to see a picture of a bag, though (before anyone posts up a picture of a bag - you know I mean a lucky one ) Anyone have a picture? Were they actually bags or boxes? How big were they?

It's like a completely stuffed sports bag. AWESOME!
I am so flying to the next Apple store opening!
Thanks,

And most importantly those bags smelt really nice!
Looked strange seeing people flocking out of the store with identical bags...would look a little suspicious if you weren't clued up!
Lots of people were trying to do swaps for other bits and bobs in the store but i kept mine intact - it was a fun day.

I was at the London opening, it was wild! About 140th in the queue and got my lucky bag.
I paid £248.99 for the lucky bag.
I sold the Apple Wireless Mouse, the Apple Wireless Keyboard, iLife 04, Keynote, .Mac, World Book 2005 and Garage Band Jam Pack 1 for £260, a profit of £10.
In addition to this small profit, it meant that I could keep all the other items that I wanted - the Airport Express, the JBL On Tour Speakers, the D-Link Bluetooth Module, the 10% off card, the ProCare card, the Apple T-Shirt and the London DVD (okay the last one is rubbish!) - for basically free!
It was wicked, but I don't think Lucky Bags are going to happen any more.
Floop

I wish they'd open an Apple Store in Wilmington or Philadelphia so I could go and get one of these bags.
