March ZBox - Retro Theme |
It's that time again.......For anyone who reads my blog (thank you, by the way, I do love you all).....I am on a quest to find the perfect
Mystery/Geek subscription box for us, and up until now, I have loved zBox. I have struggled to decide whether it's my number one or not, but after this month's box, it has lost it's number 1 spot.
I will, as always post up what's in the box in order of preference and to be honest, I'm not a fan of any of the Zbox Exclusives this month and 2 of which I will be adding to my own little 'Geek box' that I'll be giving away soon!
So........

ZBox March theme - RETRO |
For those with a sweet tooth we have Flumps, I think we all wanted a piece of this, I've kept this out the listings as I really don't know where it would come in my order of preference - probably number 1 haha.

Flumps went down well |
In at number 6 (not including the magazine in my count down) is Tango Fiesta download card - Zbox Exclusive. I'm not interested - yes that may be very narrow-minded of me or ungrateful, but it's not what I want, will play or am interested in so it comes in at number 6.

Number 5 and another Zbox Exclusive (!) is the T-Shirt, this is a first for me as usual, the T-shirt is my favourite item in the box, but this one, by Joystick Junkies, just doesn't cut it for me. I feel like it was just a bit of cheap advertising, and believe me, the retro theme didn't get missed on me. Although it does say this was exclusively made - I'm not feeling it and even more so after checking out their website and seeing they actually have some rather fantastic Tees on there!

There really isn't anything in the next two and because I didn't want to have number 4 as the third and final exclusive in the box..... I went with the Sonic Socks - I do love Sonic so the socks are kind of cool.

The Lemmings Door hanger is a bit random, but many a day was spent killing off these little creatures so this one did put a smile on my face.

The penultimate item is a Dreamcast Notebook, which Max seemed to eye up the minute it came out the box!

My number one item........ Pac-man wins it every time and this little box was filled with Pixel Bricks which I totally failed at putting together. How my partner did it I have no idea! With Max 'helping' and then the dog 'helped' too - months of practice with Lego finally paid off! I'm rather pleased we got a ghost as we already have a Pac-Man bottle opener and the two look great together don't you think?

Given that I was super excited about receiving the Retro box, I am rather disappointed with it and the fact that Zavvi use Hermes and this is the
second geek box that has been thrown over my 6-foot gate and damaged - I'm just not feeling it. Fortunately, it's a monthly bought box and not a reoccurring subscription.

So to breakdown, the boxes reviewed today:-
Number 1 - Infinity Crate at £16.99
Number 2 - zBox at £19.99
Number 3 - Nerd Block approx £21
Number 4 - My Geek Box £14.99

If it ever comes to the UK I'm rather interested to see how the Marvel Collectors Corp fairs.
Now, which geeky box is going to turn up next.............
I love the notepad, socks and Pacman items.
