Box Review: ZBox – November 2015

ZBox Renegades

“The ZBOX is a monthly geek box themed around your favorite (favourite for those of you not in the States) geeky interests, from zombies and the undead to retro games and pop culture. Each month you will be sent a box containing over £35 worth of exclusive, licensed merchandise. Perfect as a monthly treat or a gift for your geeky friends, we think that the ZBOX is the best mystery box you can get your hands on!”

The ZBOX is priced at just over $30/month USD.

The theme for November is Time Travel.

The box comes with a really nice mini magazine with details of each item in the box and a variety of fun articles.

ZBox

Marty McFly EXCLUSIVE Funko POP! (Retail $25+ on Amazon) – This is one of the reasons I bought this box. This exclusive Marty is riding a hoverboard. I love it.

ZBox

Dr Who Tardis Socks (Retail $5-10?) – I’m not a Dr Who fan, so these will be finding a new home.

Blinktime Watch (Retail $5-10?) – This is another ZBox exclusive. It’s a rubber watch that you can push a button on the face of the watch, and the time glows in red numbers. This will make a cute stocking stuffer for a youngster.

ZBox

Cosmonauts Graphic Novel #1 (Retail $6.28) – Another ZBox exclusive (as in variant cover), and a graphic novel I’ve never read about time travel – score.

BONUS ITEM: If you used a coupon code last month, a free Back to the Future comic. This was shipped separately and arrived several days later.

Back to the Future Comic (Retail $3.99) – ZBox claimed this was worth $15, but it’s just a variant. I was hoping it was a larger comic or graphic novel for the price listed. But it’s just a standard variant comic.

Summary: Even with the extra variant comic, the value barely covered the cost of the box unless you count the variants at sellable cost. I was a bit disappointed with so very few items included. This will probably be my last ZBox.
