first premium pokemon box…

Recieved my first premium pokemon box today, I wasn't impressed with the value for money, and bare in mind I got this first box 20% less, dont think I'll be getting anymore as I definitely don't think the value for money was there, especially when I received Japanese pokemon cards, these are no use to me as I don't speak Japanese 🤷.

Absolutely shocking

Absolutely shocking. Almost 40 pound for 2 stickers from Temu, cards not sleeved just thrown in, a pencil and cheap plastic from China. Absolute disgrace.

Borderline criminal

This was the worst mystery box I have ever received. 25 pound for a "premium" pokemon box. I got 2 wish.com stickers, a temu keyring and a very cheap tiny bulbasaur. A literal piece of paper with a bulbasaur on it and some Japanese pokemon cards. Furious is am understatement. For interest I priced the items on temu and wish.com and I got a total of 3.58. Then 2 pokemon card packs in another language. DO NOT BUY THIS. An absolute con

Value Inside not worth it and late delivery

The delivery on their page says subscription boxes take 3-5 days after the 14th which is fair. But not one time boxes, ordered in January, arrived 24th Feburary, annoying but not too much.

I got the £80 ultimate mystery box and 90% of it was Marvel… I didn’t pick the marvel box but apparently they are the same thing. Most of the stuff is low quality kids figures and keychains or stickers. Through amazon bar code reader the combined value is £67 which is £13 less than the cost and honestly seems like stuff their leftovers. If i didn’t use the 25% off and 2 free items code it would be 0 stars if i could. However, considering I had two extra free items apparently I have NO IDEA how they can charge £80 regular because its £67 WITH the free stuff

Practically a random box of temu stuff, stickers and the POP figures no one wants.

I can't recommend these boxes

I have had a few of these crates on subscription, such as the Pokemon crate. I wouldn't recommend the value of the crates at all. I'm sure I remember them being somewhat better in the past but it seems that you now receive a bunch of knock off imported junk from wholesale sites (much of which is actually horrendous quality and I can't believe they see/handle it and send it out thinking people would be happy) and the cheapest official items (I.e. trick or trade boosters and maybe one current booster pack) that you can get. In my honest opinion the value of the crate at retail is somewhere near a maximum of £5, probably less. A box of knock offs advertised as a box of official or at least high quality merch. Not only that but items are often duplicated across months on a subscription. A shame because it could be great but you end up feeling short changed. Hopefully they up their game in the future.

Not worth your time and money!

Purchased the Jedi master loot crate and I just don’t believe it’s worth the value that I paid for it, I got around of just under £20 worth is stuff and what makes it worse is that there are fake Lego mini figures that I got with mine. The items just seem to be the cheapest items Star Wars related that they could find on eBay, the premium item was a £4 Funko pop figure which the probably got for pennies. I would recommend you stay away from “Geek Crate” because you will be very disappointed.

If I could give minus 5 I would

If I could give minus 5 I would.
40 quid Jedi master smugglers crate
Contents were nowhere near that value
Pathetic and insulting contents for something that is advertised as higher end and targeted toward collectors and fans

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
