Jinx Mysterious Bag of Mystery Women's: Giganto Edition Review (Restocked Edition!)

The Box: Jinx's Giganto Mysterious Bag of Mystery  (See my other Jinx reviews here!)

The Cost: $30 (one time purchase)

The Goods: Approximately $90 worth of items.  Could be anything from hoodies to toys to stickers - all from the Jinx store!

League of Legends Corporate Mundo Tee: ($21.99)  I don't play LoL, so I'll probably sell or trade this.  I have no idea who this guy is, but I really like his color scheme.

Portal 2 Aperture Labs Beanie: ($14.99)  Sadly, we got this in our last men's bag too.  J doesn't wear beanies, so this will get sold/traded as well.

More Dots! Tee: ($21.99)  Man this sucker seems to run small.  I'll totally wear it though, because I can't look at it without laughing.  (If you don't get the reference, watch this video.  Though...you probably still won't get it if you've never played WoW.)

Battlefield 4 Lightning Skull Tee: ($21.99)  I haven't played BF4 but it's a rad tee so I'll totally wear it anyway.

Portal 2 Briefs Pack: ($19.99)  YAAAS.  Judge all you want, but I'm super excited about these.  They're adorable!  I think the aperture logo ones are my favorite.

Total Value: $100.95

I think this might be my favorite of all the women's bags I've gotten.  (It would've been a bigger hit if I hadn't *just* gotten the beanie, though.)  I'm actually kind of debating ordering another women's bag in one size up to see if that changes the variety any.

Jinx Mysterious Bag of Mystery Men's: Giganto Edition Review (Restocked Edition!)

The Box: Jinx's Giganto Mysterious Bag of Mystery  (See my other Jinx reviews here!)

The Cost: $30 (one time purchase) (Not currently available)

The Goods: Approximately $90 worth of items.  Could be anything from hoodies to toys to stickers - all from the Jinx store!

League of Legends Signed Tee: ($21.99)  Neither I nor J play LoL, so this will be sold/traded/gifted.

Gamer T-Shirt: ($21.99)  This isn't an "AW MAN HOW COOL!" kind of shirt, but it's not awful.  J will wear it, and that's what counts...right?

Walking Dead Tee: ($21.99)  As soon as I told J he could probably have everything in this mystery bag, I pulled this out and took back what I said.  I'm absolutely keeping this for myself (though J will probably borrow it.)

Portal 2 Aperture Labs Beanie: ($14.99)  I've been on a beanie kick lately

Minecraft Mobs Caves Sticker Packs: ($2.99)  J and I have been playing a lot of Minecraft lately, so I love these.  Love.

Diablo III Face Sticker Pack: ($3.99)  I played Diablo III a ton when it first came out and then quit and have never gone back.  However, I really l like the face sticker.

Fragging Permit Sticker: ($1.50)  This made me laugh.  It also made me want to play CoD.  Brb, fraggin' noobs.

Total Value: $89.44

Okay, so...yes, I got a value equal to what came in my previous Jinx bags.  However, I'm a little disappointed and here's why:  you can order a mystery bag of 3 shirts for $19.99.  If you take that into consideration, it sort of lowers the awesome on it.  Part of the reason I've loved these Giganto bags is because there's a chance to get ANYTHING in the store, and this sticker/shirt combo just seems a little disappointing.  (Hi, my name is Katrina and I'm spoiled when it comes to mystery bags. :) )

Jinx Mysterious Bag of Mystery Women's: Giganto Edition (#2!)

The Box: Jinx's Giganto Mysterious Bag of Mystery  (See my other Jinx reviews here!)

The Cost: $30 (one time purchase)

The Goods: Over $90 worth of items.  Could be anything from hoodies to toys to stickers - all from the Jinx store!

I read your email Sticker: ($.99)  This sticker works both for hackers AND for jealous significant others!

Alliance Crest Beanie: ($17.99) The other women's bag I received had two Alliance items in it - it's rough being a Horde chick! 

World of Warcraft Role Tee - Tank: ($9.99) I usually DPS, but I *have* tanked before, so I'll still wear this.  Maybe on, say, November 13?

Alliance Zip-Up Hoodie: ($54.99)  Okay, so this is the same hoodie that I got in my other women's bag.  I knew that duplicates were possible, so that didn't really bother me.  What did bother me was the fact that neither of them were actually a women's cut.  I sent Jinx an email and they offered to let me exchange it for one that was.  I decided to gamble the cost of return shipping and see what I would wind up with, which was....

Monk Women's Zip Up Hoodie: ($54.99)  I literally squealed when I got this out of the package.  I love it.  It fits perfectly and is really well made.  TOTALLY worth the $8 I paid to send the other back.

Total Value: $83.96

I couldn't be happier with my end result, but it was a little annoying that both of my women's bags had a hoodie that wasn't actually a women's fit.  (I still adore Jinx and their amazing customer service.)  Given that there are more items to choose from - and that J and I can share - I'll probably order another men's giganto bag and just get a women's tee mystery bag to go with it.

Jinx Mysterious Bag of Mystery Women's: Giganto Edition (#1)

The Box: Jinx's Giganto Mysterious Bag of Mystery

The Cost: $30 (one time purchase)

The Goods: Over $90 worth of items.  Could be anything from hoodies to toys to stickers - all from the Jinx store!

 The Women's bags are a fairly new addition to their mystery line up and I just HAD to try my luck!

Alliance Zip-Up Hoodie: ($54.99)  Interestingly, this is a "unisex" (read: men's) hoodie.  Unfortunately, my true love is the Horde, so I probably will try to gift/swap/sell this.  (Side note: I noticed one downside to the awesome new burlap bags they've started using.  The fibers get EVERYWHERE.)

Alliance Sticker Pack: ($1.99)  Like I said, I'm much more of a Horde girl, but I also like pretty much any and all stickers so I won't complain about this!

Minecraft Foam Pick Axe: ($19.99)  Do I have any practical need for this?  Nope!  Do I love it anyway? Hell yes!  I play with the foam Minecraft stuff every time we go to Target but always convince myself to be a grown up and not buy any of it.

Minecraft Run Away! Tee: ($21.99)  I.  Love.  This.  It makes me smile.  It also makes me really want to go play Minecraft.

Total Value: $98.96

Well, I totally ordered another Women's bag in addition to this one.  Look for that review soon!

Jinx Mysterious Bag of Mystery Men's: Giganto Edition Review #3

The Box: Jinx's Giganto Mysterious Bag of Mystery

The Cost: $30 (one time purchase)

The Goods: Over $90 worth of non-tee items.  Could be anything from hoodies to toys to stickers - all from the Jinx store!

Since the last time I ordered one, Jinx has updated the actual bag the goodies are sent in.  Look at this awesomeness!

 

Half Life 2 Black Mesa Bracelet: ($7.99)   Honestly, this might have been one of J's favorite things from any Jinx bag so far.  He collects bracelets like this, so any and all are wins to him.

Gamer Patch: ($3.95)  I've been kicking around the idea of putting a bunch of patches on one of my old denim jackets.  If I wind up going for it, I'm totally stealing this from J.

Minecraft Light Up Torch: ($24.99)  This is going to be super awesome in J's geek cave.

World of Warcraft Panda Zip Up Hoodie: ($54.99)  I literally squealed when J pulled this out of his bag.  He offered to let me have it, but I told him that we could share it.  I'm a sucker for crazy hoodies.

Total Value: $101.92

I mean, come on.  How could I complain about this bag?  I mean...uh...how could J* complain?  The only thing that might not be used is the Gamer patch, but I'm sure that we'll find a use for it somewhere.

Jinx Mysterious Bag of Mystery Men's: Giganto Edition Review #2

The Box: Jinx's Giganto Mysterious Bag of Mystery

The Cost: $30 (one time purchase)

The Goods: Over $90 worth of non-tee items.  Could be anything from hoodies to toys to stickers - all from the Jinx store!

Minecraft Creeper Scarf: ($16.99) Eep.  I love this.  Fortunately, J doesn't wear scarves much so I get to keep this all to myself.

Half Life 2 Lambda Leather Belt: ($26.99)  They sent us a L/XL in our Small bag, but I emailed them and they offered to swap it for a more appropriate size.  The belt has snaps so that you can remove the buckle and wear it on a different belt if you so choose.

Starcraft II Terran Cutout Sticker: ($4.99)  Yeah, I still know nothing about SC2.  J can have this without a fight.

World of Warcraft Horde Premium Hoodie: ($54.99)  YUS.  So, I totally have hidden this to give to J for Christmas.  It's a super nice hoodie with thumbholes, so I know he'll love it.  That is, if I don't break down and keep it for myself.

Total Value: $103.96

Y'all.  It is SO hard for me to not order another billion of these mystery bags.  The thing that has surprised me most about the two I received is that these are all current products!  None of the items are on sale or clearanced.

Jinx Mysterious Bag of Mystery Men's: Giganto Edition Review #1

I was so excited to tear into this that I forgot to take a picture first.  Oops.

The Box: Jinx's Giganto Mysterious Bag of Mystery

The Cost: $30 (one time purchase)

The Goods: Over $90 worth of non-tee items.  Could be anything from hoodies to toys to stickers - all from the Jinx store!

World of Warcraft Warlock Pin: ($1)  This is perfect.  I'm taking a break from WoW at the moment but when I do play, my main is a warlock.  Destro lock FTW.

World of Warcraft Horde Sticker Pack:  ($1.99)  Also perfect.  All of my characters - except for one lonely worgen - are Horde.  

Starcraft 2 Protoss Premium Hat: ($29.99) The back of this hat says "My life for Aiur."  I have never played SC2, so I have no idea what that means.  J used to play a ton, but he doesn't wear hats so this will either be gifted or sold.

The underside of the bill has a graphic printed on it.  I am told that it is Protoss.  Again, no idea what that is.

Aperture Laboratories Track Jacket: ($49.99)  Love, love, love.  I told J that we could have shared ownership of this jacket.  I'm generous like that.

Of course, no order would be complete with a few Jinx stickers.

Total Value: $82.97

Okay, so it came up a bit shy of the promised $90 mark, but for $30 this bag was a steal.  I ordered a second bag which I will have the review up for on Monday.  Both bags were originally supposed to be surprises for J but it looks like he'll have to fight me for this stuff!  They are supposedly going to be releasing a women's version at some point - I can't wait!
