Nerd Block Vs Loot Crate "Transform" June 2014

   This month I received both my Loot Crate and Nerd Block at the same time. So I decided to open both boxes all at once and compare the two and see which subscription service was best for the month of June!

I flipped a coin and ended up opening Nerd Block first.

Artsnacks- Like a magazine subscription but for Art Supplies.

 In case you haven't heard of it before, Artsnacks is a subscription service for $20 that delivers 4-5 Full-sized quality art supplies to your door every month.

 Artsnacks team of working art professionals test out each selection and curate a different "menu" each month.  Along with the art supplies is an actual snack, ranging from bubblegum to fruit snacks.  Many subscribers have begun taking the #ArtsnacksChallenge which is to create a work of art using only the contents of the current months box. Artsnacks has encouraged it's subscribers to use hashtag #artsnacks and #ArtsnacksChallenge as well as share their unboxing videos to social media. 

  I decided to throw my hat in the ring for this month and the fine people at artsnacks were kind enough to share my work through their Blog, Twitter, and their Instagram. 

This months menu featured the following items:

1. K-42 Paint Marker by KRINK ( I received Gold)
2. Molotow ONE4ALL Paint Marker ( I received Red)

Nerd Block Unboxing May 2014

 

First up on the box is an awesome Star Wars/ Game of Thrones T-Shirt "Fett is Coming"

Available in Boba Fett Green or Black.

Next up we have a Super Mario Bros. U Dangler figure. We got Squirrel suit Toad in our package. There are 6 different figures to collect!

This next item is called a "Stick-it-Pad" used on car dashboards or desks to keep your mobile phone handy.

Another Star Wars themed item is these cool Star Wars Mini Plushies from Lucasfilm. We got a tiny Darth Vader, but there is also Yoda, Wicket, R2-D2, & Chewbacca. It looks like this line has been revived specifically for this Nerd Block

More Star Wars! Funko, the people who make those awesome POP figures have made this Star Wars Papercraft set. I've never done papercraft before but this set looks really awesome. It is of 2 scenes both from Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. My Favorite!

Amazing Spider-Man #001 FanExpo Exclusive cover

Overall a pretty decent haul. A lot of Star Wars items, perhaps for "May the 4th be with you" and the anniversary dates of the release of every Star Wars Film released so far. The amazing Spider-Man movie came out this month along with a new #1 comic so it's a big month for Spidey too. And last we have Super Mario Bros U.  which I think was thrown in because later this month Nintendo is releasing Mario Kart WiiU. Soo everything except for the Stick-It-Pad seems to be related to the month in some way.
