Fans disappointed by Zavvi’s LEGO ZBOX

The LEGO ZBOX has finally arrived with customers who ordered the mystery items, leading to fans taking to Twitter to voice their disappointment.

Zavvi, like many purveyors of pop culture merchandise, has a monthly mystery box subscription called ZBOX. A special one-off LEGO edition was sold in June, limited to 800 boxes and promising £40 of merchandise for a £29.99 price. They sold out within a few hours.
