What was your first free delivery? (Oslo Atmosphere)
I was looking through my icon sets today, and I was actually bored enough to scroll through to see what my very first free delivery was: Oslo Atmosphere. It's actually probably my favorite icon set at the moment (since I love the atmosphere and Oslo sets, that would make sense), and it has been for quite some time! I came across it on another website actually, joined IconBuffet because I wanted to download the set, and have been hooked on IB since (excusing a few absences here and there).
So, what was your first free delivery? Any interesting stories behind it, or was it just random chance that you received it?
(This is also a chance for me to share the love that is Oslo Atmosphere-- so if anyone is looking for or has an affinity for this set, I'd be happy to send it to you. :D)

Are you talking the first free delivery you asked for? Most people would have taken the one from Josh which is always a bronze set.

My first set was Shasta Robo. No story behind it for me. I accepted it without really knowing what I was doing. I can't remember if I had to spend tokens on it or not.
My first few sets I wasn't as selective as I should have been. Live and learn!

Well, if the listings can be believed since the ver 2 launch, then Oslo Atmosphere was my first set as well. Although from that far back, my favorite would have to be my 3rd set, Farewell Snow. Since then, there are too many that I am fond of to call any one set my favorite.
Although I do wish they would do more snowman themed sets. Since I live in Florida, I don't see many snowmen (or snowwomen or snowkids).

No, I'm talking the first ever received set. I actually got Durango Research about 2 weeks after I initially joined, and the friend who referred me sent me Oslo Atmosphere (which was the only reason I joined in the first place).

Yeah, I know what you mean! No snow for me either (except one time in 1989)! :( Where are you in Florida?

OK in that case mine was Marseilles Cafe. Absolutely no idea why, I came to get Authentic Jobs.

Looks like my very first was Taipei Night Market, at least according to the current listing. If my memory serves that may very well be correct.

I think the current listing is accurate as well, even though there was the v2 switch.

@pinuga: Yay for Oslo sets!
@gswd: You know, I've never actually been to Cocoa, but I've lived in Florida my whole life! Kind of sad really. I guess I've passed through it a few times, but I've never stayed there.

If you go back in your profile, under "Icons I Have" and sort the icons by recently added, the first set you received is most likely the last set listed. At least, it's been accurate for a few of us I'm assuming. :)
