Question Block Lamp

I bought one of these with a coupon at BoxLunch (a store in the mall). Wasn't expecting it to be as AWESOME as it is. It's the perfect addition to our bedroom as my husband and I are just grown kids.. I bought this one for my husband's side of the bed. :)The plastic it's made out of is not very heavy and couldn't last through a fall on a hard floor. It's very light weight and it feels a little bit cheap. But honestly, this thing is so cool. It says on the box, that it has official game sounds (which I didn't even see) and you can turn off or on. The question marks on the side are raised so it has dimension.I bought another one for my son because he was a little jealous :)

My husband's birthday was coming up and since he introduced our son to Mario Brothers, I was inspired. I used this light as a cake stand. It was a biy wobbly but still had the impact I wanted. (We didn't leave it unattended with the kids or dogs).My son (4) also stole it after we were done and brought it to his room to use as a night light. Nice warm light emitted.You can plug it in with the provided USB cord (which was pretty short) or 3 AA batteries (not included). Has a screw to hold battery compartment closed. There is a switch to turn the sound off. You must push the top of the light to turn on/off. Overall an amazing little light and might buy a second one.

Extremely cool. It plays the coin sound when you push it on and off and also gives you the option to turn sound off. My only critique is that it is battery operated. We are using it as a night light for my son's Mario room. Which means the batteries will go quick. They do give you a usb cord so technically you can plug it in, I imagine it works with any USB adapter. I would have just liked to have a plug for it. You never know if the usb cord is going to work well with the plug you use. I will say this, we have been looking for something like this for a while and found one cool like this but after placing in cart found out shipping was very expensive and would have been 120 for something that looks just like this. So glad I found it for more than half the price.

All jokes aside, this might really be one of the purchases I'm most satisfied to have done on Amazon.Pros - you punch it and it makes a sound (like the games) and lights up. What else do you need in your life?You can deactivate the sound if you want to! That is great if you wanna use it more than just showing off to friendsCons - I'd have to say that the light is a little weak, so it won't illuminate a lot if you have to go to the bathroom or something. But as a cosmetical piece, it is awesome!2) What is the deal with all products requiring AAA / AA batteries? Cant it have a charging battery inside? That would be great. But it does come with a USB cable so you can use it without batteries, but the downside is that you have to keep it connected. So you might have to consider that if you wanna put it in a place that you want to keep minimalistic without cables (or just buy batteries and solve that, right?)

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. The box makes a sound that sounds like it's exactly from the game!Quality-wise the box fell a bit short of my expectations. I was wary of other reviewers' comments but I decided to purchase it anyway. The plastic looks very cheap up close, and in some places the "shadow" part of the question mark is scratched. This is upsetting because when the block is turned on you can see the yellow plastic through the scratched black parts. I tried to use a black Sharpie to fill in the scratches, but the ink was not able to cover the scratches. I wonder if paint could work, but then when the block is turned on the blotches of paint may be visible because the black layer on the block is so very thin.However this block made for a very fun, novel gift! When the block is lit up the scratches are not visible from a distance. It was so worth it to see the smile on my boyfriend's face when I gave this to him. :)It feels a bit delicate so I would not recommend this for young children. We mostly use this as a decoration in one of our bedrooms. I do wish that there was a way to plug it into an outlet without having to use a really long USB cable and an adapter, but even if we used those things I worry that the block wouldn't be able to handle the weight of the cord hanging off of a bookshelf.

I recently decorated my son's room in Mario and this is one of the best pieces I've selected. The noise is optional but super cute (especially for the older generation who remembers the sound) and the lamp is battery OR usb powered so you've got options of where you want to put it. He loves it as a nightlight and it looks great!

Gives great ambiance for my man cave, especially if you have color changing light bulbs also. Doesn’t auto shut off which is good if you want it on all night like I do. Great price and it makes a good gift to. I recommend.

Bought this for a Harvest/Halloween party where I have a Mario themed booth. It attracted lots of attention! I love the sound it makes when you turn it on! I put it on our bookshelf now and it looks awesome. Only issue I have is that the batteries die down more frequently than I like, but maybe we use it more than others would because we love it so much!

Absolutely love this item! I gave it as a gift to my friend and they couldn't be happier to add this unique item to their retro gaming collection.Product Detail: Instead of only being battery powered, it can also be powered with a USB (which it comes with) so you don’t have to go through any batteries if you don’t want to. As stated in the description, it makes the retro coin sound when pushed on and off, and once you show that to your friends, everyone will be pushing it! The creators paid close attention to detail in that the color matches perfectly to the original game, when we unboxed it, it was so neat because it’s exactly what you’d imagine it to be if the game was real life. It’s also nice how the question mark is push outwards which gives the question block a more detailed visual effect. Plus, the item looks great when both turned on and off. I’m very pleased that it’s decent quality as sometimes these items aren’t, but that’s definitely not the case for this item!Size: It's a great size (what's listed in the description is correct) and it puts off a decent amount of light!I chose this version over others as this is the classic/retro version question mark block as opposed to a newer version, but also because the size is quite large as opposed to others which when I looked into purchasing this item, I found that a lot of them are surprisingly small in size. This truly is a must-have addition for any collector of retro Nintendo or Mario games and our friends have been complimenting it like crazy and asking where they can buy one. Highly recommend!

La lampara es sencilla, un cubo de plástico y dentro una bombilla pero queda bonita y nada convencional, tiene algo de relieve, funciona perfectamente por USB, emite una luz amarilla media, ilumina un poco la estancia pero no mucho, es mas un producto de decoración, se enciende apretando la lampara hacia abajo y emite un sonido que se puede desconectar, incluye cable USB pero no cargador, lo veo ideal para regalo o fanáticos de Mario Bross

Ich habe diese Lampe verschenkt und sie ist sehr gut angekommen. Das Licht wird eingeschaltet indem man oben auf den Block drückt, in diesem Moment ertönt auch das typische Super Mario Geräusch, welches aus den Spielen bekannt ist. Der Ton lässt sich bei Bedarf aber auch ausstellen. Das Licht ist nicht besonders hell aber das erwartet man ja auch nicht unbedingt :)

Great for super mario fan. Can use batteries or plug in. Option to turn sound off so doesn't make the power up sound everytime.

Está muy lindo y buen material
