Oh wow, it turns out that the package was shipped a while ago.
The tracking shows it clearing UK customs on Sunday, with Royal Mail 48 Hour delivery service being the next step. So depending on when they receive it, I should have it this week sometime.
How exciting and unexpected!

I saw, was hoping for note sings but we’ve been spoiled for a few years so not that upset.

Agreed. I'm glad I'll finally get to see them live for the first time this year.
I do wish they made digital versions of all the cherry trees available but whatever

There is a chance mine arrives today. It left Trenton at 5:30, is prob at my p.o. now, but hasn’t been scanned in yet. Usually, my mail is out for delivery around 8:30 am, so hoping they get to it within the next 90 mins.

I assume the keychain is different colored too! I don't know why they couldn't have tied in maybe like a swim cap or something with the floaty keychain to make it summer themed.
The magnet thing is confusing to me. They could have made a smaller sheet of National related magnets like the N icon, SWB house, Cherry Tree cherry, rather than just a sheet of all their songs. My guess is maybe people are intended to build a dream setlist but it is really clunky and I don't want to fill my fridge with all these magnets. I also don't use felt slip mats so it'll probably just sit in storage. I've gotten a few other slip mats from bundles over the years that I don't really do anything with.
Overall the freebees in this one is a little disappointing compared to what they've done in the past. If they're running out of ideas they should ask out to fans or hire a promotions company to create new items because some of these recent ones feel phoned in.

We both received the blue slipmat, which is slightly disappointing. Waiting to see what color my daughter gets and see if she's willing to trade.
I think that the magnets with titles are a throwback to the beginning of last tour - on Bryan's instagram, there was a post with a display board filled with song titles in different columns. I'd have to dig up the image online - I think it was a story not an actual post so it's long gone now. But, as I recall it was Scott's idea to start playing more of their deeper catalog / tracks on tour and that's where the song board originated.
Of course, I'm probably just reading too much into it
We attended two of the Chicago shows with tracks on side 2 - Walk it Back and Space Invader. Had tix to New Haven, but bailed on the show because it was just too much travel.
And yes, I agree - a swim cap would be great.

And here I was thinking it’s about time we get petition to manufacturers letting them know no vinyl fan needs another slipmat.

I am with you on that, they are fine but are definitely not needed. I only subscribe to Cherry Tree for the vinyl and the occasional presale code to be honest.

Those two things and the poster variant. Love the idea of not having to worry about it at the show
