You'll receive a card at the bottom of your box detailing the items you just tore through.
This month came with a 15% coupon to Factoryent. I'll probably find a use for this since I'm a collector - but I was looking forward to that ShirtPunch voucher so I could buy more POPs! I'm assuming we'll find the voucher in next month's box.
Jurassic Pops Shirt - Value $15?
This month's shirt features Jurassic Park. Get a free Velociraptor claw in each box - it's a fun shirt, but not really my type.
David Levinson POP - $Value $8.79 on Amazon
I just received the younger version of this character in my POP in a Box from May - so it's cool to get the older version from the new Independence Day movie. A movie I never thought they'd actually make - is it any good?
Back To The Future 4-Pack of Coasters - Value $10-15?
These are a set of exclusive coasters from Back to the Future! I love the outer casing - Cafe 80s!
The coasters are AWESOME. I love that they included some images that you'd expect, like the Flux Capacitor, combined with images I would have never guessed, like the Pizza ad from BTTF 2!
Back to the Future Delorean Art Print - Value $10?
Staying in the Back to the Future theme - we also received an Andy Warhol style print of the Delorean. If I knew what to do with prints, I'd be ecstatic with it - but I never know what to do with them without space on the walls.
Battlestar Galactica Exclusive One Shot - Value $3.99?
I valued this as a regular comic since it's an entirely exclusive one-shot made for Comic Block. The first thing I thought was, I really hope I don't also get this in the next Comic Block!
Aliens vs. Colonial Marines Toy Soldiers - Value $5-10?
The last item is another exclusive. It's a set of Aliens and Marines toy soldiers.
Here's a closer look at the Marines.
And a closer look at the Aliens.
It's an interesting item - and I will admit that it brought out the inner child in me when I was setting up this shot!
Verdict: Overall, I really enjoyed this Sci-Fi Block! The Back to the Future stuff was cool and unique, and I got a POP - usually that's enough for me. I really wasn't too happy with the one-shot - it's cool, but since it was made for Comic Block, I'm guessing that I'll be getting a double of this soon. I hope they can keep up these strong Blocks, and am looking forward to getting the ShirtPunch vouchers next month!
