How much longer do we give The Mysterious Package Company? My friend who used to work in production told me that since Hastur the company has gone through another major shift internally and is a skeleton crew now. Apparently the person running things is a nutcase that no one can work with. Looks like their social media has taken a dive and their Facebook was hacked. Really sad times, it's feeling like the end.

They're almost always having a sale so..probably not a good sign.

Found this today looking through old photos and I felt very nostalgic for the old times. Best job ever, it's sad to hear this news. I honestly haven't been following them or this forum for a while. Hmm I guess that link didn't work. You can see it here: photos.app.goo.gl/MimrTbu5WV9CzE4BAMaybe I'll put up a whole album of behind the scenes. Anyone interested in that?

I'd love some more behind the scenes. The best I ever felt I saw was in the video for Werejaguar haha.
As for sales and going under, I'm not reading too much into that. We've had sales for years and experiences that were retired suddenly came out of retirement - sometimes with something new sometimes not. I do think the image of the company has changed a lot since removing the "membership" and just becoming a store front, but the products are still fun (to me anyway). In pandemic times, I have no way of making assumptions on any company, but hoping for the best?

I'll see what I can dig up. That Werejaguar video was shot in the corridor outside the main production rooms. Although MPC usually hijacked some of it for storage space and racks of products. Not sure how I feel about MPC now. It's good that people like you still love the products and get enjoyment from them. I'm just a little bitter that the love that created it is entirely gone and now it is all about $. But I suppose it is still an interesting company to have around.

BTS is always good. This made me wistfully smile.

I guess that explains why I never received the Hastur challenge coin I ordered direct from them, nor the Hastur invitation from the KS. I'm bummed, this used to be an amazing company. I'm done giving them money for nothing.
