Tim, I see that you recently signed on as a member of the forum which means that you are also a recent follower of Menards products. Every now and then, Menards packages a surprise box of goodies and sells them for a good price. It may vary, but around $100.00. many people have gotten buildings, trains sets, cars, box cars and more. It seems to be kind of a fun gamble for many folk.

I can speak from my own first-hand dealings that the Menards Mystery Boxes can be a fun experience.  I've purchased 4 of them over the past couple years.  In two  cases I have ended up with buildings I already had, but easily turned them in to  kitbash projects.  I also got a Lionel John Deere train set in one box, minus the track and power supply.   The items in box are rarely perfect (however in some cases they are), but if you have basic modeling skills you can put them back in good order without a great deal of effort.  All have been well worth the purchase price, and some have been unbelievable values.

I thought this post was about the Mystery Boxes being back today!  I went out to their site immediately.   Didn't check the date....LOL 

I looked last night and they had them.

Many, but not all, of the time I have purchased, they appeared later on a weekend night.  I don't think I've ever seen them online for more than day before all  were gone.  I think that may speak to the value some of us place on them.

The last time someone posted about them I added one to my cart.  I went all the way through the checkout process and on the last screen it threw an error and said it wasn't available.
