I'm home now and have had time to open the box. I'll list the analytical stuff (weight, items, value) and my 2 cents. Figured I'd just use their email and website listing as a framework.
Weight: So the email said
THE DETAILS
Each box contains over $175 worth of products.
Each box is over 75% off!
Each box is 2 pounds of craft perfection.
Each box is AWESOME!
After I made the comment earlier about wondering what it weighed, I weighed it. Unopened, it was 2 lbs 1 oz. The actual bag of product weighed 1 lb 8 oz. On the website, it was more specific and said the box weighs 2 lbs, not that the product weighs 2 lbs.
Items/Value: This is the contents listing from the website, filled in with the actual items I received. I took about 20m and looked up all the pricing online. Most items were listed on the site, the ones that weren't all had very comparable items to price by. (Eg. Their chipboard is consistently $3.99, base washi price is $3.99 unless it's oversized.)
Somewhere they said the items were all from 2016. Two of mine were from 2015 kits (and previously in grab bags), but all the rest was 2016, so that's pretty accurate.

Summary: 44 items (8 of them bags), value $161.59 at full price, $157.01 if you use the 3 items' clearance prices, and $155.02 if I take off the broken corks. My cost w/shipping was $49.17. One of the youtubers had 46 items and I think 7 items different from mine, the other one (with the heart wand) had 45 when I got distracted and lost count, 9 of them were different than mine, and she got a duplicate set of veneers in her box. I won't guarantee perfect counts b/c I wasn't going to watch them twice! But anyway, the item count looks fairly consistent, and about 20% different items from box to box.
My 2 cents: It was ok, but it wasn't "over $175", and I probably won't buy another one. I don't sub, but I still got a ton of duplicates from the bloopers, and not items I'd typically reuse. I actually bought this for my niece, but I already had a pile of the duplicates for her. Warehouse boxes are always a gamble, but I had about $25-30 in stuff I loved, and the rest was meh or duplicates, so it'd just be better for me to stick to bloopers and buying the actual items I want. The only rubber I got was in EVERY blooper bundle, so now I have 5 or 6. The washi was great, but I only got 1 puffy and 2 stickers. Just luck of the draw, but a little disappointing.
I can post photos later, but I had a long day and a teenager that wants his laptop back...so the half hour I had to do this was as far as I could go.
