"i am extremely happy with the kit i got.. SMG-8 and ak47. however the smg 8 came with a leaking mag also it looks a little beat up. even thats ok. so long as i do not have to pay shipping to have it replaced or repaired idc.
the only thing that was upsetting is the fact that they said it would ship on the 8th or 9th but did not ship to the 12th... that would not have been a big deal so long as they didn't say the 8-9th... either way still not a big deal.
if i could give this a 4.5 i would but due to incorrect information given and their accuracy i was a little upset either way the kit it self is an extremely nice kit with two guns worth what i paid.
i will 100% buy another one but hope the mag works next time

"got mine a few days ago i got the 6mm pro shop PPSH and JG AK bundle overall I'm a little sad but i do like the PPSH very much but have yet to field it so look for a review over there soon

"The box of awesome news was easily the best $160 I've ever spent. I got the a&k m4 with a cheap spring pistol but the pistol is fun to mess around with. The m4 shoots hard right out of the box and is really accurate. It can easily hit a 2x2 target 150-200 ft away. I'm very impressed with this package and will do it again

"Got the BAR m1918. Actually, I got two of them. I bought a box for my younger brother and I, and we both got the exact same package which leads me to believe that BOA's aren't completely random. Come on, Evike! You could have at least noticed they were shipped to the same damn address and changed it up a little bit.
Anyways, on to the review of the box. Packaged really well. Opened mine up. Got the BAR. I'm fine with that as it is something unique with a lot of potential. I'll post a full review of that over on the page for the BAR. I also got a pistol case, tactical spork, and the springer in my package. My brother had the EXACT same thing. The spork is awesome, the pistol case is really good quality too. Not gonna get that one for less than 9$ anywhere else! And now I have 3 of them. The pistol is fun to screw around with. Not good enough to be a secondary, but I have like 4 of them from swagg packs and mystery boxes, so I like to use for skirmishes. Or shooting my cat when it pisses me off.
All in all, I'm going to buy another one of these when it comes out, but I really hope Evike adds some more randomness to how they distribute them in the future.

"Got the Bar and little pistol. Pretty much the only gun I didn't want, but oh well. Still a good buy for a chance of a great prize.

"Not the best experience. The Gangnam patch is what earned four stars.
Paid - 150$
Aeries Ameoba M4 Pistol - 150$
Pocket Cannon - 65$
Rifle Bag - 3.50$
Gangnam Patch - No True Set Value
Total Value - 218$ + patch.
Let me start by saying that I ordered with a swagg pack. The shipout date was supposed to be the 21st. Mine was shipped on the 25th and arrived on the 31st. Evike finally responded and let me know what I already knew - it didn't get shipped on time.
I'm not going to critique any further. Im satisfied with my win. Just glad I didn't get something I hate.

"Ares Amoeba pistol in my box. Not my first choice, but its actually pretty nice! Also came with the standard tshirt, extra mag, gun bag and a little bit awesome. Basically $110 for a $155 gun.

"Just got mine today. The shipping was very fast but I'm pretty disappointed by the guns. I got the Matrix AIM Top M4 and a G36. I haven't shot the G36 but neither of the guns seem that great. I can't say I really want to keep them, so I will be selling them on ebay. I think they're great for a beginner and I just wanted something cooler. I guess that was my fault for taking the chance and buying a mystery box. These guns, if I can sell them, are worth more than I paid so I can't complain about that.

"^^^^^^^^ got the same thing, Raptor and 5 hi cap mags. Not too pumped about the AEG seeing as I just got a polarstar but it is still a great gun and will probably be used in some CQB games in the future. Thanks Evike!!!

"Just got mine! A APS raptor, it's good except the sight was sticking out of the box and ripped wires... Still worth it, just a weeee sad.

"The awesome part of this box was the coffee, evike spoon (i love these things), and the m16 hand guard.
I received a bushmaster m16
Honestly I think the trades look kinda dumb 250$ for two lines of words? I would rather stick a magpul logo sticker on it and call it "licensed". The battery is huge like massive but it is only a 8.4 1.3 amp battery. Now if it was a full metal receiver instead of polymer, some more metal internals, and if it came with a 9.6v. Better looking trades and some sights for people that might not have any optics etc. I could see this rifle being priced at 200$. But ditch the dumb charger and the battery and stick a 7.4 lipo. Lipos costs less than half the cost of a ni-mh battery.
But I did love the hand guard and classic army blue inner barrels are usually good. The hand guard is the best part of the m16. No offense evike but 250 is a joke i would chunk out another 50 and get a kwa m4.
This rifle is very well worth what i paid for it about 134 but if evike recently put this on "sale" for 115 making the true market value of this 115 + the patches and coffee make it worth the 134 i paid. I will probably sell it to my friends for 135 again just like i did with the aim top mp5 i got from another box of "awesome.
1/4 lbs coffee which i always love getting coffee, Guns & coffee patch is cool
kony 2012 patch? zombie hunter ehh ok i guess. Gangnam patch, I personally would like a more original patch from evike. Like The guns & coffee or as seen on evike tv.
A small bag of madbull bbs. It would have been awesome if they were .43g. But i'll keep it for looks
With a 28% of getting a bushmaster i still got it, i guess lady luck was not on my side. But honestly i buy these boxes to sell them to someone else. It could have been better but it also could have worse like getting a broken gun or well the bushmaster was the worst so there is nowhere else to go but up.

"Edition: 90K Deadly Combo
Got the Intelligence combo - Just like I was hoping for!
Less than perfect review as there was a broken/defective item, Already contacted Evike about the warranty and it seems it should go smooth.

"13.6 pound box
I received an aim top m4, single point bunjee sling, patches, a bravo sight, bbs, 9.6v, and 3 high cap mags???
I'm not sure how I only received 3.
My first impression was great an aim top......I opened the box and the externals were decent.
I immediately had to test fire it. It fired 355 fps +-0!!!!(.20gram) At a blistering 9rps.
All joking aside it fired very consistently and very accurately.
I think I will keep this rifle. I was very impressed. I hope it is a reliable build.

"It was pretty good. I got an Ares M4 CQB and a 42" rifle bag. In the same order, I had already bought a rifle bag though, and I play at a field, so CQB guns aren't always the best. Still, I'm fairly happy for $65 ($50+shipping).
