What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: F.O & More — April 26, 2026

We open a lot of Amazon Mystery Boxes. Most days there's a nice mix — some useful stuff, some surprises, the occasional head-scratcher. Today's box leaned lean on quantity but landed one item that made the whole team stop and look twice.

The Steampunk Clock Tower That Made Us Put Down Our Box Cutters

The standout — by a mile — was a F.O Steampunk Clock Tower Building Set F9017, sealed, brand new, retailing at $275.00. If you've never seen one of these, think intricate gears, gothic architecture, hundreds of precision pieces. It's the kind of building set that sits on a shelf and makes guests ask questions. We were not expecting to pull that out of a Saturday box. But here we are.

Rounding out the named finds was a Checkered Insulated Tumbler with Handle 40oz — the chunky, stylish kind that keeps your iced coffee cold through a full Arkansas afternoon. Solid everyday grab at $24.99 retail.

The rest of the box? Twelve bin-labeled pieces heading straight into our store bins, so come dig if you're local. Not every box delivers a $275 centerpiece, but this one more than earned its keep.

Total estimated retail value on this Amazon Mystery Box came in at $375.99 — and honestly, that clock tower alone did most of the heavy lifting.
