Nerd Block (Classic) Review: March 2015

Today I received my first Nerd Block. I decided to get a subscription to the Classic and the Arcade. Today's delivery was the Classic, my Arcade should arrive next week. I had really been looking forward to this after seeing video unboxings from a few different people and loving the items that I saw they were getting. I had been getting Loot Crate for the past 2 months only to be rather disappointed in the items in the box. I felt that they did not compare to Nerd Block. With each of my Loot Crates there was only ever 1 item that I like in each of the boxes, so I found that it was not suitable for me for the money that I was paying. I decided to move from Loot Crate to Nerd Block and I'm so glad that I did. This month Nerd Block Classic is wonderful. My eyes lit up when I opened the box and the first item I saw was a Simon Pegg/Shaun of the Dead t-shirt! It was in that moment that I knew I was going to love Nerd Block.

(How great is this shirt!)

The next item that caught my eye was this book. I am so excited to read this. I might have to bump it up my reading list as I have so much on there right now that I need to read but the others can wait.

Also got this cute little Rocket Raccoon magnet that will be going on the fridge.

I'm not a huge fan of these MunnyWorld products. The last one I got is still in the box. This one looked kinda cute though so I decided to open it. It'll probably end up being given to one of my cousins.

Up next on the list is these spider ice cubes and a Harley Quinn whoopee cushion. I've always wanted a whoopee cushion but have never owned one. Now I have a cool Harley one.

(I love that it says "Drop the Bomb") 

These Guardians of the Galaxy nesting dolls now sit on my desk. I love that they included baby Groot. I like that they've put them in order of height wise too with Groot being tallest and baby Groot being smallest.

After getting such a cool Nerd Block Classic I'm really looking forward to next weeks Nerd Block Arcade, as well as future Nerd Block Classics. Making the move from Loot Crate to Nerd Block was definitely a great choice. I do have 1 Loot Crate left to arrive but will definitely cancel after that arrive.

Hot Toys: Star-Lord and Rocket/Groot (2 pack)

Today I got an exciting email, and then a disappointing one, both from the same company. The first one was that in 10 days time my Hot Toys Star-Lord 12" figure would be arriving to the warehouse and then shipped to me! I was so happy after he had been postponed a little while. This was great news, and I couldn't wait to pay for him. All I had to do now was wait the 2 lots of delivery before he would finally be mine.

I then got a second email, which stated that the 2 pack of Hot Toys Rocket and Groot had been delayed, again... Why does every Hot Toys I order have to be delayed multiple times. They unfortunately seem to keep underestimating how long these things take. Never the less, I won't care in a few months time when they finally get shipped to me and they are added to my display cabinet.

Even with their constant and multiple delays, Hot Toys is definitely one of my favourite figure companies. They put so much effort and detail into these figures they are hard to pass up. Hence why my wallet constantly cries from buying quite a few of them. Also doesn't help when the company you order through keeps giving you vouchers as part of their "International Collector Appreciation" program to buy more because you spend quite a lot through them. That plus the multiple points I have collected up from buying figures through them. It does work out to be quite a nice discount, but oh man does my wallet hurt haha.

Now to wait for my parcel to arrive and to take lots of pictures.
