Infinity Crates continues to offer a good alternative to other UK based geek subscription boxes, as several of the contents are personalised.
Some items in the box are chosen based on availability and some are selected based on interests that you preselect. You are guaranteed an exclusive T-Shirt (by the in-house Infinity Crates team) and a Funko POP! Vinyl each month.
There are several pricing options available for Infinity Crates
I’m reviewing the main offering, the Classic Crate. This currently goes for £19.99 GBP ($28 USD) including delivery within the UK (I pay a slightly lower grandfathered rate).
There are also three other subscriptions available, including the Premium Crate at £26.99 GBP ($38 USD), the Kids Crate at £19.99 GBP ($28 USD) and the T-Shirt Only Crate at £10.99 GBP ($15 USD).
The June 2016 box came with the theme Respawn and arrived through Royal Mail, but only after two attempts to get them to redeliver it. Rather later than I would have liked, but everything arrived in one piece.
The box also contained the information card with details of the items, which is always useful.
Box Contents
Deadpool T-Shirt (Exclusive)
This is a simple design, but reflects the fun of the film.
I’m not so much a fan of white T-Shirts, as they can look cheap, but red and black are good colours with this background.
I’ll value this at the T-Shirt standard of $10 USD.
Winter Soldier Funko POP! Vinyl
This is a good POP! from Captain America Winter Soldier.
Unfortunately, it’s a duplicate for me, as this came in the May 2016 Zavvi ZBox.
You can get the Winter Solider Funko POP! Vinyl on Amazon.com. Based on that, I’ll assign a value of $10 USD here.
Loz Mario
These are small micro sized brick pieces, which I believe are compatible with the better known Nanoblock range.
They fit together to form a Mario character.
As best I can tell, this is an unofficial range. There are quite of series that look rather like Lego available if you know where to look, and this is a version geared towards the smaller brick size.
Even though this is unofficial, you can find the Loz Mario on Amazon.com. A typical value here is $6 USD.
Stickers (Exclusive)
Two stickers this time, one representing Game of Thrones, the other reflecting the box theme.
These aren’t really of interest to me, but I’m sure that some people like them.
I’ll assign a token value of $1 USD.
Zelda Poster (Exclusive)
This poster wasn’t mentioned on the information card, so I didn’t immediately recognise all of the characters, but I believe that these are all from Zelda.
Like other Infinity Crates posters, these are long and thin.
Even though this isn’t a franchise that means much to me, this is one of the better Infinity Crates designs.
I’ll value this at the usual poster price for these of $2 USD.
Game Of Thrones Wristband
This is a fun wristband, with Winter Is Coming and the wolf logo printed into it.
It’s not clear if this is official or not, but there are several Games Of Thrones Wristbands available on Amazon.com.
Based on the pricing there, I’ll assign a lower end value of $5 USD.

Box Review
A reasonable Infinity Crates. I get $34 USD of value, which is slightly above the cost price.
The best item is the POP!, although unfortunately that’s a duplicate for me. The Lego variant is fun, as is the wristband.
Some of the items this time look a little cheap, but I appreciate the effort made by Infinity Crates to develop the in-house exclusives.
Do check out Infinity Crates. As a UK original, there’s plenty to like and support here.
Infinity Crates has since stopped running, so the subscription link that originally sat here has been retired. You can still browse every Infinity Crates review on this site.
