Unboxed. The title led me to a hunch as to what the answer would be. The clues and the first couple of relevant entries made me even surer. I was wrong of course.

DINO ME!
I started guessing out of frustration and stumbled upon the answer. Once again, I had it written down in my notes in a couple of different places but did not recognize it. I had to Google it to confirm the answer for myself. I was not familiar with the phrase.
I was trying some comicly bizarre variations of the meta.

Nice one. I had a fast escape from the box... and there's more that I can only say in the crosshare solvers area.
