No trade items in the bag, on any of the years I've gone on the GT run.

I will say this: The "starter bag" for the GT run has really improved over the years, and it's one of the big perks of going on the run. I remember on the first GT run, we were all surprised when every one of us got a "00" in our starter bag! (That was back when people were still excited to open their bag and see what Rare token they were lucky to get, and URs were a 1-in-100 chance since the PYP offer didn't exist.) On later runs, Jeff started adding the Combo tokens, so a GT bag contained an UR, some blues, and the rest were all rares.

The last 2 years, Jeff has included a Relic-level token in the bag (a random relic in 2012, and in 2013 the Charm of Heroism) and I think there's good odds of that happening again this year.

So if you're interested in giving someone else the run, while you keep the bag of goodies, you could probably find someone who would buy your GT for ~$500 less than the current going price (so, look for offers in the $200 - $300 range.) Be aware: if the Bonus Room gives out some special reward (like a Ring of Heroism or the Mithral coin) that would go to the person on the run, not be included in the starter tokens.

you just never know. last year no volunteer tokens were in the bags..some years there are , others not
you just dont know

this thread says do it

do the run!

You should certainly do it. Join us it will be fun

I have been convinced: I am going to do the run. I think I'll show up to the airport early and, if possible, pay the $75 fee to get on an earlier flight. Or maybe I'll just pay the $150 up-front and not worry about it. Not sure yet.

(my flight is a 1-stop because I booked it with miles that were about to expire)

Looks like I'll be doing the puzzle run though, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Pm me when you decide which run and what class you want. So I can add you to the list
