What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: DJI & More — April 29, 2026

Look, we're not going to pretend every Amazon mystery box we open here in Hot Springs is a goldmine. Most of them are a grab bag of randomness — and honestly, that's half the fun. But every once in a while, something lands on the table that makes the whole team just stare at each other for a second.

This box had 13 items. Total retail value sitting at $1,571.94. And here's the thing — one single item is carrying almost all of that weight.

The DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo Plus: Yes, Really

A DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo Plus Drone with RC 2 Remote Control and built-in screen came out of this box. Gray. Retail $1,498.00. We held it up and the whole team went quiet for a solid three seconds. That's the drone photographers and content creators are actively hunting for right now. One item. Almost the entire value of the box. Wild.

Everything else? Honestly pretty mid — but still kind of charming in its own scattered way.

The EADEM Le Chouchou Lip Softening Balm in Boba Bounce was a nice little surprise. EADEM is a luxury skincare brand founded by women of color, and their lip balm retails at $24. Tiny but genuinely good. We also pulled a 20V Max Lithium Ion Battery 6AH — unglamorous, yes, but if you're in the middle of a project, a $20 battery is a $20 battery.

And then there was a 36oz bag of Milk-Bone Original Mini Dog Treats. Beef, chicken, and bacon flavor. Our team dog whisperer immediately claimed it. No notes.

The rest of the box was bin-labeling supplies, a couple pieces of clothing, and some glasses. The kind of stuff that fills out a return pallet and makes you appreciate the drone even more.

Amazon returns are genuinely unpredictable — that's the whole deal. Some boxes hum along at a steady okay. This one had a DJI drone hiding inside it. Come check the bins. You never know what made it off the truck.
