    Got my January crate this morning, pretty poor IMO bar the
    tshirt and tie

    Time to cancel

    I liked this months, Im a fan of the
    tshirt and tie
    . As long as i keep getting that stuff i think its value for money as to get some of the t-shirts would cost €20 alone.

    anyone have indiebox?

    https://theindiebox.com/

    Anyone ever bought Zavvi's ZBOX? It's about €27 delivered but there's no subscription. You can sign up for an email alert when the pre-order goes up and you can buy it on the site. They usually only last a couple of days before the allocation sells out, though

    I bought this month's box, Undead, although it hasn't arrived yet. Next month's ZBOX is up on the site now, theme is Retro (meaning games, primarily)

    Looking at youtube unboxing of the "play" lootcrate it looks like a complete waste. However the march theme "covert" has me tempted :)

    I actually think February's is better than the past 3 months that I've gotten tbh.

    The themes always look good.

    I thought Ashens review of the Play one made it look okay, that Ready Player One book is supposed to be well worth a read anyway and the rest would be okay if you had any kids to give the stuff to.



    I said it before but Id be subscribing to these myself if the main gift wasnt always one of those stupid Munny giant bobblehead figures, utterly pointless wastes of space. Who actually likes them? It must be somebody because I went into Forbidden Planet the other day and they were just wall to wall with them for every tv series you can think of...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭James Howlett


    I think those Funko Vinyl's are pretty cool looking. I don't buy them myself as i wouldn't have anywhere to display the properly but there are more than a few I'd happily pick up.

    They're hardly pointless as they sell incredibly well and make a lot of money for some people.


  • Registered Users Posts: 353 ✭✭Paddy_man


    Thanks for letting me know before i got it...

    Ready Player One, while not the most intellectual book ever, is still really entertaining. You'll enjoy it if you're old enough to recognise the pop culture references especially.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,845 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    Oh crap sorry, I thought everyone had it a couple of weeks ago, Ashens is always way behind.

    I think he's releasing them on the last Friday of the month just so that (in theory) everyone should have theirs by the time the video goes up.

    I agree though, his was the review I watched this morning and the stuff looks pretty cool. 3 or 4 things in there that I'm actually happy I now own (or at least I will own once it's delivered :P), much more than in any of the previous ones I've got.

    that's it they look amazing but when you actually see whats in its meh


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭James Howlett


    I stopped last month. Having watched that video a few posts back, I think I would have been happy with the contents of PLAY, but I don't regret cancelling. Not saying there's anything wrong with loot crate, I've just had enough for now.

    Yup - was getting worried it was just me!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,263 ✭✭✭DeWitt


    Same here. And I went ahead and cancelled my subscription going forward and what do you know, of course they announce a crate that piques just my interests.

    Well glad I'm not alone. I checked there Facebook page seems there is a lot of delays with crates getting to Europe.

    Arrived in Ireland for me on the 27th.. still no sign.. really annoying even though I already know whats in it and its probably the least fave stuff of all I got so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 60,120 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    My tracking updated this moring to show it arrived in Ireland last Friday the 27th as well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,252 ✭✭✭Sterling Archer

  • Registered Users Posts: 60,120 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,179 ✭✭✭salamanca22
