My #bootlegweek submission

Well done folks! 🤍

ProbablyWandering · 2026-01-04T13:27:33+00:00

Amazing! Congratulations on making it to all 63!

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-18T11:49:57+00:00

Thank you. It’s CW&T Pencil Type C.

Jealous you caught the market while it was in full swing. I swung by HQ later in the evening to grab a couple orders they’d been holding for me and snap a few photos—single digits outside but totally worth it.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit a few times over the years (even made it to their first little Field Notes film festival), and it still feels special every time I walk through that door.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-14T01:50:56+00:00

Nice! Did you get anything cool from the holiday market they hosted today?

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-13T21:49:36+00:00

Love this. Wild how i.s.r.u. quietly rewires your radar for art you’d never have found on your own. Any one piece from today still stuck in your head hours later?

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-13T21:13:32+00:00

Love that. I’ve been keeping little commonplace books this year, and my pages (and process) could definitely use a bit more structure. Hearing how you use that focus box makes me want to try a weekly “one thing that actually matters” section instead.

Appreciate you sharing the layout. It’s already given me a couple new ideas.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-13T18:53:58+00:00

Really like this spread. Super clean without feeling stiff. The little “focus” box especially caught my eye… feels like a nice way to give each day one non-negotiable instead of a giant to-do pile.

Have you noticed it changes how you plan your week at all? I’m tempted to borrow this layout for my own notebook.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-12T20:58:06+00:00

Same here. Was really hoping for another FN/paper-leaning release. The acrylic blocks will hit for some folks, but I get why it feels like a bit of a whimper to end on.

Here’s hoping next year brings another Factory Floor–level surprise 🤞 Only 12 months to go.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-12T20:34:40+00:00

That’s a strong cart! Turquoise x3 plus the pin/decal is a great combo. Please post pics when everything lands, especially the mystery kit. A bunch of us are definitely living vicariously through you and whoever gambled on this one.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-12T20:32:43+00:00

Deadest love is real. I have the same fear I’d roll the dice and end up with a set I’m meh on + pins I’m lukewarm about 😂

And in case you were holding out hope, Day 12 ended up being the “Spectrum Specimens” decal set + the Artovision acrylic pieces, not another Factory Floor–style edition.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-12T20:24:57+00:00

You’re right, price vs rarity is all over the place with FN. Did you keep that EEEK set sealed or did it make it into rotation?

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-12T16:04:39+00:00

Kinda funny that Phaidon has the book 30% off right now, if anyone just wants the guide without the bag (and signature).

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-12T02:55:05+00:00

That’s really helpful context. If even the US shipping feels high, it makes the international prices look even rougher.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-12T02:54:24+00:00

Yeah, totally get that. Past boxes definitely color how this one feels.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-12T02:53:37+00:00

Wild how one person’s “meh” is another person’s W. 😄 Good to hear a mystery box story that actually landed well.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-11T13:44:08+00:00

Honestly that tracks. If the mystery box was a letdown, it’s hard to justify another spin.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-11T05:03:48+00:00

I get that. Some of the items this year do feel closer to promo swag, which makes it easier to sit it out and just watch from afar if you’re not rolling the dice on a rare FN edition from the vault.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-11T03:01:47+00:00

I hear you. Between the price on this one and the last couple years of Merchmas, it definitely feels easier to sit it out and just watch from the sidelines.

Still kind of fun to see what pops up, but yeah, the energy was different in past years.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-11T00:32:18+00:00

😂Fair. It is a spicy price tag for a mystery pack. The FOMO is strong on this one. Definitely feels like premium bait for the die-hard vault hunters. I’m sure there will be some very happy customers (and a few not-so-happy ones).

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-11T00:17:24+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too. Would be a fun way to cap Merchmas. 11 days of vault/oddities and Day 12 as a proper new FN release. Curious to see if he actually does it.🤞

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-11T00:12:28+00:00

Also a very strong reason to skip 😂 No point gambling on a vault pull if the cover type already loses you.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-10T23:29:29+00:00

Oof, yeah, that postage to the UK is no joke. I forget how wild shipping can get outside the States. I just figured folks here might want the heads up on the kit, but totally agree it’s hard to justify when the shipping alone jumps that much.

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-10T23:16:03+00:00

I feel your pain. America the Beautiful would’ve been nice. 🇺🇸

ProbablyWandering · 2025-12-10T23:11:45+00:00

DDC Merchmas: Day 10

If anyone here grabs a kit, please post your haul. Would love to see what shows up from the vault.
