Thank you TankerToad!
I've informed my SA. The response back was: very difficult. LOL. I'll wait and see.

Well, you are being smart and proactive! Your SA ( and hopefully SM) now know of your desire for a box bag-all we can do now is cross all our fingers and toes for you! ( I firmly believe it will show up when you least expect it)Thank you TankerToad!
Agree with bolded. Exactly what SAs and SMs have shared with me. So giving one's SA a heads up is very much advised for these push offers.
I can add to this as I recently received an offer for a Black Box leather Kelly (BBK). It's my absolute holy grail and I am so excited I finally got the call from my SA.
I remember about 3 years ago after a few purchases I enquired about a BBK and the SA helping me at the time gave me a smug smile and said "That's just not possible you will be waiting for 5 years" I told him politely that I was willing to wait and went on a mini rant about my love for heritage leather and he still dismissed me. I took it as a sign and switched SA at the same store (I was just starting to build my profile - so it was not a big deal)
When I told my current SA he got so excited about the BBK but managed my expectations and in his own words explained the "push offer" without using that term. In the last year I got about 3 Kelly offers (epsom, chevre, togo) and a Birkin Grizzly - all declined because I was patiently waiting for box.
Now that it has arrived in store I simply cannot wait to pick it up
Long story short - find an SA who understand your love for Box and is willing to help you - let them know your wish and be prepared to be patient and strong to decline other offers if you wish so.
Best of luck!

I'll be waiting patiently! 
I think you're fortunate in that Hermès seems to be making a lot of bags in Box Leather the past 2 years. So happy you got your grail bag, and I have to agree, I think finding the right SA who understands your passions is key.I can add to this as I recently received an offer for a Black Box leather Kelly (BBK).

A few curious questions about blue box bags. Are all blue box items push offers? Could a store SM exchange push offers with other stores? Is that ever done?
I have some blue box item in mind. I’m only wondering the possibility such item ever showing up at our store. Of course it doesn’t mean it would be offered to me. Only wandering.

They can’t swap but they can deny a push offer and tell headquarters they don’t want it.
I believe all blue box items are push offers.
The store knows about it a couple weeks prior to its arrival giving the SM and SA time to decide who it will go to.
I actually don’t know if they can swap. For regular bags (non QBs), my retired SA had transferred them from other stores for me. But that was 7 years ago already.
Thank you so much. It’s helpful to know. Then I’ll make sure to always tell SA what I fancy.. in case they ever get offered by headquarter.
I see I see. I always suspect if that’s possible. Otherwise chances of some very specific requests would be almost impossible .
