A little while ago we pointed out that Nintendo UK's official store is offering a Limited Edition Super Mario Box as part of the mascot's 30th Anniversary celebrations. It's only in the UK and costs £29.99, but is it worth it? Well, probably not if you already own the classic colour Super Mario 30th Anniversary amiibo, but if you don't then the answer is quite possibly.
In any case, our own Alex has unboxed one of these, erm, boxes for your viewing pleasure; it even has a little extra thing that's not listed as part of the package, which is just swell.
We did get sent it by Nintendo UK, though, so if you think that it's morally indefensible to show something on YouTube that was provided for free, avert your eyes and curse our name to the heavens.
If you're a bit more relaxed about the whole thing, enjoy!

Are you referencing TheBitBlock?
lol
@buildz Probably, others are probably like him though.
I'm surprised! The content wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined, though I wouldn't exactly say it's a fair price either way. Still, neat stuff!
Holy Shiet, this shiz amazing.

Great video! That was hugely entertaining
The pin is adorable.
wish NA would get something like that. I really want that stuff.
Great video! I don't think I'll be going for it as I don't think the value for money is too great, but I'm still interested to see if they do anymore of these.
That's a nice bunch of goodies.
Pretty good actually.
I've just seen the t-shirt in the online exclusive Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle. Now that's nice.
I want that shirt.
Why is it not available via more means? ;_;

I already have the amiibo, and also don't live in the UK, but its a pretty sweet gift for any fan (this could have been a Mario Maker Ultimate edition bundle).
Alex is on fire! Awesome video. Box, not so much. I mean, "Thank you for playing" and there's not a single game in there? Ugh, Nintendo! Hat is cool tho.
The hat is worth it.
@Rockmin: I think screwed is a bit harsh. I didn't see anything really all that special besides the nifty box. They gave away pins at events. The plush is available at Toys R Us. Mario hats are probably on clearance now that Halloween is over. That Amiibo is not difficult to find. Only thing would be the shirt and really, it's not clever, you could make something better in a few minutes on Zazzle and a slogan that might rhyme at least. Like, "Saving Lives since '85"
@sykotek That's true, I have seen that plush at TrU now that you mention it. But alas, in our stores, 30th Anniversary Mario has been gone for a long time.
flops dramatically on the couch
Whoops! Sorry meant that for Rockmin.
^-^'
I bought one of these boxes, I think what would have been nice would have been a free download code for Super Mario bros.
