In that box I received mostly cosplay-related items that frankly I didn't really see myself ever needing - besides which there was a lot of stuff from things I didn't even recognise. Sure the stuff seemed cool but it wasn't exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.
This is what I kinda fear if I buy one of these crates, that the stuff in them wouldn't be that good. However I have looked at some youtube videos and there are some bad ones, but also some good ones. Anime Bento for example seems to be consistently good, including figurines and japanese snacks and other stuff. I did watch someone open a final fantasy themed one but that looked just plain bad. But then again my standards are very high for final fantasy, I love official merchandise, why would I buy a blind box when I can log into the SE store and buy something I know I will like.

Also I heard Crunchyroll sometimes does a blind box of 30 anime DVDs I think that might be quite fun. I guess it's all 50/50 and the fun is in not knowing what you are going to get.
