Typical items in a Merchandise prize,

I tend not to enter merchandise competition. I presume they normally contain items such as T Shirts, Posters, mugs etc. Am I correct or do you sometimes get unexpected items? Such as a camera?

I've only ever won one "goody bag" - it was Percy Jackson related, and I'd entered a few as my kids love the books and films - it contained a T-shirt, notepad and pen, headphones, wooly hat with horns! , and a couple of other random bits. If I'd entered it for me, I'd probably have been disappointed, but the kids liked it!0

thry can contain all sorts - usually a t-shirt or hoody but the rest can be anything, my favourite t-shirt is from a goody bag - it's so comfortable, I've had games, usb sticks, note books, backback etcproud gran to 4 lovely boys and one little girl0

I've seen some decent looking things in some of the merch packs pictured on comps, but so far I've not had anything like that.
Insidious - seemed to have some sort of fitness band.
Everest - the Hoodies look good.
I'm sure I've seen Radios too.
Bit of a mixed bag, I tend to enter the ones where I see something I like in the pack or if I think it might have some stuff for kids.0 -
I've had some decent items in merchandise packs.
The good stuff -
Paddington -
DVD, lunch bag, water bottle (which is delightful) stickers & balloons and a card holder
Walking Dead -
T-shirt & bag
Dracula Untold -
Blu-ray, T-shirt & notebook with pencil
Spiderman -
PS4 game, Blu-ray, umbrella, LEGO keyring, yo-yo, a fantastic notebook in a steelbook style & a toilet bag.
And the disappointing
Best of Me -
T-shirt (too small) postcards, heart shaped keyring, pen (didn't work) postcards & tissues (eh?)
Cabin in the Woods -
A t-shirt (a bit too small) and a block thing (bit like a Rubik's cube but you can't do anything with it)
So, the good stuff more than outweighs the bad. The majority of stuff is well worth having a go at.

I had a few good ones - a Red Dead Redemption merch pack (my son is a big fan of the game) that contained the usual things but also a candle shaped like a keg of dynamite. And a Sherlock one that included a wooden traditional board game set - chess, backgammon, etc, plus monogrammed handkerchiefs and tarot cards.0

Forgot, I had a USB fridge with one (big enough for 1 can).0
