"These turtles are being arrested & they're really happy about it"

But yeah that's about as lame as I expected it to be. Buncha dollar goods from Wal-mart with a random toy & a shirt. Meh. Easy pass.

Exactly. It's so rare these things offer anything worth what you're paying. It's only worth the cost if you understand you're paying for the excitement of being surprised every month. It's like buying MtG repacks.

I don't know about other boxes. I will say that Loot Crate has been pretty good. Even when it's a theme that I have little interest in, I still tend to find at least a few cool items each month. But they seem to be large enough to be able to work out exclusive deals and design their own shirts. Most of these gift boxes probably don't have anywhere near the subscriber base to be able to do that.

every unboxing video that pops up is the f'n Combo box

Just a suggestion here but does anyone think this type of idea would work for this forum? I mean, who better to buy random turtles stuff than from hardcore turtles fans? It could be its own section under the for sale/want to buy. I know I could put together a few kits and sell them for cheap. We could even show what's included or at least half of what's inside so people don't feel like they are getting ripped off.

idk, some guy tried a "mysterybox" thing here once and there was some kid that ripped into him pretty hard over it.

Toitlefan · 06-15-2015, 10:17 AM

Right, I wouldn't buy a complete mystery box either but say when you advertise the half-mystery box, you say (or show) what the highlights of the box are. For example, if you were selling a box that included a on-card turtle figure, a couple of loose figures, some comics and some other small random things, just reveal the on-card figure and the comics so people will at least get something they know they want but also get a small surprise. If they don't like the risk of the surprise, they don't have to buy it.

It was a mystery box for 200 bucks. Stakes need to be lower.

Toitlefan · 06-15-2015, 10:46 AM

$200 is ridiculous, especially if you have no idea what you're getting. I'm talking $25-$35 and some clue as to what will be in there. You could even have fun with it and just show pics of a small portion of each item such as only the artwork of a carded figure or just a corner of a comic.

I was totally intrigued by this TMNTBox, but after seeing these videos...yikes. The puzzles, stickers and washcloth all come from dollar stores. I know a lot of people say this about a lot of subscription boxes, but I have most definitely witnessed all those items in my local Dollar Tree. However, the shirt and T-Machine are great items to be included in there. The mystery "red" box with an infant turtle is kind of dumb to me, as I'd hate seeing a loose figure...but maybe that's just me.

I too am interested to see what comes in a classics box, but I won't lie in that I would have chosen a combo box since I love both old and new turtles.

When it comes to these subscription boxes, I have been a customer to Loot Crate, Horror Block and Collectible Geek (for their Cowabunga Cache only). Some have their stinkers and some have seriously made my day. There's something crazy addicting and fun about receiving a box of mystery items in the mail, so I factor in some of the cost as the element of surprise.

Seeing as this was TMNT Box's first box...it should have wowed the first customers to intrigue the YouTube audience into purchasing a later box. They mega failed in that area. I'm happy I didn't jump on this, but I don't think it's a total loss for anyone who subscribed. A box like this would be fun to share with kids.

On a random note, has anyone seen that particular shirt in a store? I like it and I'm curious to know if anyone has seen it?

Antrax · 06-15-2015, 12:07 PM

I have only seen reviews with ninjas in training Mike. Have others received any other Turtle? There are lots of bulk sales of that figure from China.

EDIT: i found it http://www.tvstoreonline.com/tmnt-te...een-shirt.html

but it comes with every box and it's gonna cost u around the same price to buy the shirt might as well buy the box man

*turtlefanforever* · 06-15-2015, 03:44 PM

They changed their slogan from $50 or merch to $40 plus

Just heard back from someone about the classic box

they got (and i quote) "I got a pocket pop, a bad ass beanie, a drinking glass, some good quality tmnt boxers and the shirt."

that's swayed me

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-16-2015, 06:55 PM

still might get one regardless

*turtlefanforever* · 06-19-2015, 10:30 AM

a classic unboxing

*turtlefanforever* · 06-30-2015, 07:43 PM

i'll be buying the 2nd months box. I'll let you all know what i get. (Classic)

*Coola Yagami* · 06-30-2015, 08:57 PM

I might get the July box and see if I can film my bro and I unboxing it. I hope to meet up with him early August and it seems these boxes arrive near the end of the month so it should be fine, if a bit late.

I see the classic boxes come with more... 'all ages' stuff while the mixed or modern ones come with more childish things like the stickers and the puzzles. Guess it makes sense since kids watch the Nick show and you have to be at least 30 to remember the original show.

And also.... did they HAVE to put 2 sets of stickers and 2 puzzles? The only thing that there should ever be two of in a blind box are those awesome shirts.
