What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: G.skill & More — April 17, 2026

We cracked this one open on the evening of April 17th and honestly? It zigged where we expected it to zag. That's the thing about an Amazon Mystery Box — you never really know if you're getting tech or snacks or both. This time: both.

The Star of the Box: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C18D-32GTZR

Right at the top of the pile, sealed and pristine. DDR4 4000 desktop RAM from G.SKILL's TridentZ RGB line — $175.00 retail, and the kind of thing a PC builder would be very, very happy to find at a discount. That one item alone made the whole box worth talking about.

Running close behind it was the Power Acoustik MOFO1-10KD Remote Control Included Vehicle Audio Amplifier at $155.49 retail. Six-plus pounds of car audio hardware, remote included. If you've got a build going or just want to make your ride a little louder, this one's waiting for you at our Hot Springs store.

Then the box took a turn. Out came the Disney / Pixar MINIS Archive Selections Vol. 1 Figure 24-Pack in Display Case — $64.99 retail, already in a display case, already adorable. Followed by a Brita Elite Water Filtration Faucet Mount System Chrome Includes 1 Filter for the practical crowd, and a set of 4pcs Mini Magnetic Vase for Fridge, 3D Ceramic Flower Vase Magnets that our team immediately wanted to keep.

And then — look, we're not making this up — two tins of DANISH BUTTER COOKIES, a bag of Blue Dog Bakery with Chicken,Bacon,Cheese and Peanut Butter Mini Dog Treat - S - 18oz for the four-legged Hot Springs residents, and a pair of SWOOT Musical Lollipops for Kids Sugar Free - 2 Pack Round Audio Candy with Blueberry & Peach Flavor, Singing Lollipop, Birthday Party Favors for Boys Girls Toddlers, Novelty Gift that literally sing when you lick them. We tested one. No regrets.

The box also sent along plenty of bin-labeled items heading straight to our store bins for resale. Come dig — there's always more than what makes the blog.
