What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: Franzis & More — May 27, 2026

Two sealed FRANZIS Porsche 911 67664 Advent Calendar Model Kit 1:43 Scale Includes Sound Module and 52 Page Accompaniment Book units. At $135.61 each, that's $271.22 before we touched anything else in the box. For a $55 Amazon Mystery Box, that's the kind of math that makes the whole team stop and stare.

The Star: Two FRANZIS Porsche 911 Advent Calendar Model Kits

These aren't toy-aisle impulse buys. Each kit builds a 1:43 scale Porsche 911 across 24 days of advent-style assembly, comes with a sound module, and includes a 52-page accompaniment book. Both are sealed. Both are sitting in our Hot Springs store right now, and car-kit collectors are going to recognize exactly what they're looking at.

Beyond the Porsches, the box kept delivering. Seven cans of illy Ground Espresso Coffee Intenso Bold Roast — 100% Arabica, 8.8 oz each — came out stacked together, which felt like a sign. At $15.99 retail per can, that's a legitimate coffee haul. Four boxes of Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt Flakes 3LB rounded out what was shaping up to be a surprisingly pantry-friendly pull.

On the family side: an Ergobaby Easy Snug Infant Insert in Cool Air Mesh Grey (brand new), two cans of Play-Doh for the kids, and a Classic Boggle Word Search Game for anyone who still believes word games beat screen time. We also pulled a 4 Pairs Knee High Sock set and a Dixie Ultra Paper Bowls 26-count pack — genuinely useful stuff that doesn't sit in a junk drawer.

Total estimated retail on this one came in at $584.15, with a chunk of that anchored hard by those two Porsche kits. Plus there are plenty more bin-labeled items headed straight to our store bins. Not every Amazon Mystery Box swings this wide across categories — kitchen staples, espresso, a precision model kit, baby gear, and a board game all in one pull. Weird? Sure. Fun? Absolutely.
