Street Fighter was a staple fighting game for any arcade. The 1v1 fighting style, the erratic button mashing, the audio (Haduken!). It was a great game that I have some fond memories of.
Street Fighter Bobble Buddies: There are 1 of 8 bobblers that could be in the box. I got Ken who was not my preferred choice in the game but cool looking nonetheless. He will find a place on my display.

Pac Man, geez oh man does that take me back. The perpetually annoying 'waka waka' noise as you controlled the yellow ball eater. Good times!
The tin is an arcade machine replica is pretty detailed and looks great on display. The affront to candy inside however is disgusting. Flavoured chalk that I passed off to my nephew while the tin resides on my desk.

The Spider-Man zipper pull: eh. I'm not a big fan of the danglers and pulls. I either break them, lose, them or they get stolen. Not sure how Spider-Man fit into the arcade theme but he is boss. Unfortunately this will be going to the trade-off bin.
The Arcade Decal: Pretty neat epoxy sticker with Space Invaders on the screen. My housemate has claimed it for his CPU tower.
Space Aliens Lanyard: Lanyard's are one of those things that get put into these boxes, passed out at conventions and concerts but I have no real use for them other than display.

The reverse of the items preview has a pretty neat image that I intend to use for display. Ryu vs Pac Man, it's a no brainer...
Final Verdict
The Arcade block delivered. With the exception of the zipper pull, everything in this box was awesome. 1up is quickly becoming one of my favourite sub boxes. For the small price of 9.92$ (with coupon AWESOME from the site) I couldn't pass it up.
Next month's theme is JUSTICE. I'm excited to see what pops up in the next box.
