This month's theme was Batman. Inside the mini-mag, you'll find information about the items in the box and other exclusive content and other exclusive content, like the evolution of the Batman logo!

Batman Shirt - Value $10?

This month's shirt mimics the cover of the mini mag. Bruce Wayne entering Wayne manor - nice and subtle shirt!

Batman Playing Cards - Value $12.99 on Amazon

We received a set of Batman inspired playing cards. They come in a really nice Batman tin as well!

Here's a look at the cards. No hero/villain imagery here - but still a really cool take on a Batman inspired deck of cards.

Batman Jigsaw Puzzle Tin - Value $5-10?

This is a 150 piece jigsaw puzzle in a small tin. Again, a cool tin with a comic book cover on it!

Here's a quick glimpse inside the tin. The final image is the same as the tin.

The Flash Kawaii Cube - Value $12.50 on Amazon

Now, I'm not sure if everyone got the same Kawaii Cube, but I got The Flash. I wasn't expecting to see him in a Batman box - but with the Justice League, I guess you could justify his appearance in the box.

Build Your Own Batmobile - Value $25.95 on Amazon

The final item is a 3D Batmobile puzzle. I'm definitely more fond of this style of Batmobile compared to the Tumbler!

Verdict: The value was there this month, but it felt like it was missing that hero item for me. I was excited to unbox a Batman box, but I wasn't thrilled with the items. Receiving 2 puzzles are tough when there is just so much Batman content out there that could have gone in the box! Hopefully, I'm in the minority on that opinion since it did provide good value.

I somehow ended up with 2 subscriptions due to a mix up at my end and received the Batman and Joker cubes which is quite cool.

The first box I opened was Batman

Value us there but you are not alone in feeling 2 puzzles is a miss.
