Well this is fun. New kind of box (no longer a crate) with a hasp on the front. The box is finished, as well, not raw wood. Lots inside. Wish I could find the membership kits from 2013 and 2014.  That sounds great! I can't wait for them to ship mine!

I bought whatever the highest level box was, so maybe they've shipped those first. That might account for the professor's woes.

I will wait a bit longer and contact member services if I do not receive tracking information by the end of the week.

I'm hoping I'll see an update in the next day or so.

It might be a bit longer, if the sources quoted by Todd are indeed correct: I have it on good authority the Canadian ones are shipping next week. I expect mine to be shipped at the same time as the Canadian lot, since the everything else I purchased so far was usually shipped with Canada Post.

I received mine. I got the mid-level box (still a Crate), and everything is very cool. The membership card is GORGEOUS!

I'll try and post some pix of mine tonight so we can compare. Curious how the mid-level box is different.

Received the premium kit today here in Virginia! Have there ever been puzzles / hidden extras in past kits? Any thoughts on what secrets this one may hold?? (Or, will that discussion occur in a separate thread?)
At first glance, though, everything is simply beautiful.

Here's a link to a picture of my kit. Not everything is pictured because...well...mystery

My crate is stained a rich brown color. Is your crate unfinished?

My crate is stained a rich brown color. Is your crate unfinished? From one of the original emails: "Available in three editions: The Basic Kit comes with our limited edition shirt, a paper membership card, and our irreverent stickers on the theme of Madness in the Library. The deluxe Inner Circle Kit comes with an upgraded brass membership card, a new challenge coin, a very fine notebook, and arrives within a nailed-shut wooden crate. Finally, our premium Madness in the Library Collector’s Kit further upgrades the membership card to a gorgeous gunmetal finish and includes a lovely pin, fit for any formal occasion. Moreover, it arrives in a crate that is somewhat more refined and includes a second challenge coin, designed specifically to fit our theme this year."
