Each box comes with a card detailing the items included. The theme this month is Galaxy.

1up-box-dec-2015-tee

Galaxy Shirt - Value $10?

This month's shirt is all about Star Wars, naturally. I, personally, am loving Yoda as a snowman. On thing to note, their shirts are always so soft! Definitely, the softest of any geek box if you're factoring in the comfort of the shirt.

1up-box-dec-2015-chewy

Chewbacca Plush - Value $8-10?

Chewy, we're home! I couldn't find this exact one online (excluding eBay), so I pulled from a very similar plush. Everyone loves Chewy, so this is an instant win. I can guarantee the dog will be taking this into his arsenal of toys, which already includes a miniature Chewbacca.

Space Lanyard - Value $5?

They include a lanyard featuring Star Wars and Star Trek characters.

1up-box-dec-2015-laser

Inflatable Lightsaber - Value $3-5?

Fight the Dark Side of the Force with this inflatable lightsaber.

1up-box-dec-2015-kirby

Captain Kirkby Print - Value $5?

They include this mini print of a Star Trek and Kirby mashup.

1up-box-dec-2015-pin

Rocket Raccoon Decal - Value $1?

December Pin

The final item is a Rocket Raccoon decal.

Verdict: This is an ok box from 1UP Box. While I like the two higher priced items, the shirt, and the toy, everything else is just stuff that feels thrown in to increase value and get to 6 items. That being said, I don't think I'm the target market for this geek box, it definitely feels much more directed to the very young crowd.

What did you think of December's 1UP Box?

After receiving the December box, I have canceled my subscription. It will make nice stocking stuffers but I am looking for more quality in the boxes.

Based on this box I wouldn’t get it. True, it seems targeted at younger fans but then why the lanyard? Generally speaking I hate it when they include lanyards in any box, it feels like a cheap item to fill up the box and not exactly useful either. How many of us need a collection of lanyards? Also, the decal and the pin are ho-hum as well. There are so many items out there they could use, I personally would rather see a box with fewer items but no filler.If the box only had three items: a tee, a plush and a mousepad, or a Funko, or a quality pencil case, or a beanie… something you can use or wear, that would be so much better.

I love the Totoro/Star Wars mash up tee! So cute. So much need.

I wonder how that light-saber looks blown up- and is it glow in the dark? I wonder if it’s not that intriguing because other boxes have provided similar items? Chewy is so cute- he kinda looks like a Pomeranian.

It is not glow in the dark. Sorry for not inflating it in the pictures!
