The Corner Penthouse

I've written about The Fairfield Company's Target-exclusive mystery boxes in the past. Each of these boxes, whether they be for wrestling, The Walking Dead, or something else, contains a bunch of previously-released "blind box" cards/collectibles repackaged at a cheaper price than what they were originally selling for individually a few years earlier. Depending on what you're looking to get out of these boxes, they could be a great deal, or a great disappointment. This past June - yes, it's taken me five months to finally write this review (that's quick compared to other things on my To Do list) - I found a new mystery box, labeled "Wrestling Figure Box", priced at $12.99. Read on to find out what's inside...


When I saw the small size of the box (4.5"x4.5"x6.5"), I knew what "figures" would be inside: the WWE Teenymates. Even though I have the complete sets of both WWE series, I don't have a Locker Room Set, and I'm always looking out for a few of the rare figures. The mention of "bench and chair" on the box told me that a Locker Room Set would be inside. Indeed, that's the first thing I find.


• 1 WWE Teenymates Series 2 Locker Room Set - Contains 3 figures (Kane & 2 mystery), 3 lockers (holds the figures), stickers (wrestler logos to put on the lockers), a bench and a chair.

Opening it up, I got Kane, Macho Man Randy Savage, and Dean Ambrose. While I already had all of the figures (I only need a few of the rarities), this is a "set" of figures and matching lockers/stickers, so in that regard, it's all something I need for my collection.

The Locker Room Set is normally $9.99 by itself (when it was still readily available), so the $12.99 I paid for this mystery box could be seen as paying regular price for the Locker Room Set and getting everything else for $3 more. I just wish they didn't have to bend the back of the card to fit it in the box.


• 2 WWE Teenymates Series 1 Packs (2 figures + 2 puzzle pieces per pack) - Inside were the regular figures Dean Ambrose, Ultimate Warrior, and Brock Lesnar. There was also one rare figure: Glow-in-the-Dark Undertaker. Too bad I already have him.


• 4 WWE Teenymates Series 2 Packs (2 figures + 2 puzzle pieces per pack) - Inside were Macho Man Randy Savage, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Mankind, two Triple H, and two Sting. Yeah, there was a completely duplicate pack.

In total, there are 15 Teenymates figures, 12 puzzle pieces, plus 3 lockers with stickers, a bench, and a chair. While the Teenymates are the draw here, Fairfield also threw in a few trading card packs as a bonus.


• 2 Topps WWE Road To Wrestlemania 2014 Packs - Surprisingly, one of these was a 21-Card Value/Fat Pack, and the other was a standard 7-card basic pack. I was expecting both to be basic packs.

Because I knew exactly what would be inside, I felt that this was a good deal. That said, I would have preferred if it were $9.99 instead of $12.99 because I knew that everything other than the Locker Room Set would be duplicates and the cards would be garbage.
