Arcade Block Subscription Box Review - September 2014 Info

 

This box comes with a card detailing the items included.

Arcade Block Subscription Box Review - September 2014 T shirt

Each Arcade Block will come with a gamer inspired shirt.

Arcade Block Subscription Box Review - September 2014 Croft

 

Lara Croft 5" Collectible Bust - Retail Value $20 (On sale on Amazon for $8.42)

This is a pretty good quality statue for the price point.

Arcade Block Subscription Box Review - September 2014 Mario

 

Pac-Man Motion Pen - Value $8

Super Mario Backpack Buddy Keychain - Value $7

These are both fun and somewhat practical items - my husband loves them!

Arcade Block Subscription Box Review - September 2014 Tetris

Gears of War 3 Cog Tags - Value $11

Tetris Ice Cube Tray - Retail Value $12 (On Sale on Amazon for $8.15)

While I normally don't get too excited about ice cube trays in subscription boxes (we have way too many of them), this Tetris one is pretty unique!

Verdict: We paid $30 for this box and received about $75 retail value of products (less if you count Amazon sale prices). Either way the value is there for us - my husband loved the first box. What do you think of the first Arcade Block?

$8 on the pen? I don’t think so…mine was defective so I contacted them about it and they refunded me $2.

My 15 year old loves this box. He finally got his Zelda shirt!!! I kept the PacMan pen for myself. He kept everything else. I, too, was impressed by the quality of the statue. We will be keeping this subscription unless October is Horror themed which doesn’t interest my teen.

I am SO hoping someone puts that Link t shirt up for swap. I’ve been obsessed with Zelda since back when it was out on Super Nintendo, lol!

Showing my age here but…I have the original Zelda game on a gold Nintendo (8-bit) cartridge (still!). A staple of my childhood, that was. Not much into gaming these days, but can’t bear to part with some of my older stuff.

I still have my original gold cartridge too. Lol

Sweet! I have the gold game cartridge too. But sadly the Nintendo isn’t hooked up anymore so I downloaded the game off the Wii and played it to completion. Felt awesome! I want that shirt! 🙂

Melissa J

Ok now that is AMAZINGLY cool 🙂

PA Anna

My 15 year old boy thinks you are amazing! Zelda is his favorite.

Amber

I’ve been waiting for this unboxing! So fun, I just love the pen and the ice cube tray. I think the shirt and Mario figure is cool too. A fun box for sure, I just can’t justify the cost and my boyfriend won’t go halvsies with me on it, haha
