The box had the typical Nerd Block information card we've grown to expect. Each item was listed, including the possible variants for the shirt and wallet.
NYCC Shirt - Value $15?
I love the design of this exclusive NYCC 2016 shirt. What are the rules for wearing a con shirt which you did not attend? That aside, this shirt is fantastic - you could have received this red version, grey, or black - I'm really happy that I got the red version.
Marvel Infinity Gauntlet Paper Weight - Value $15-20?
This item was in a spoiler - so we knew it was coming, but it's even better than I imagined. Thankfully, with it being a paperweight, it has a good weight to it - this will be put to good use on my desk.
I love the gold paint and the look of each stone - they did a really good job with this exclusive.
Slimer Springz Dashboard Accessory - Value $10?
Springz make their return to Nerd Block with an exclusive Slimer dashboard accessory.
It's the classic Slimer - which I appreciate as well!
Voltron Wallet - Value $10?
They included a Voltron wallet - you'd receive one of four variations of this wallet.
It's your basic wallet, with all the room and pockets you'd expect.
Here's the design on the back of my wallet.
TMNT Shoe Laces - Value $3.99?
They included a TMNT item in the form of shoe laces. There were 3 designs of laces.
The first design had the classic looking turtles paired with a more recent looking logo.
There were my favorite - classic, angry, ninja turtles!
Finally, the last pair was a more colorful, and happier, version of the turtles.
Gryffindor Socks - Value $5-10?
They include a pair of Harry Potter socks featuring the best house - Gryffindor! I like that the socks were pretty basic overall - just the house sigil without anything else to make the design busy.
Walking Dead Projector Keyring - Value $5-7
They included an item from The Walking Dead - it's a projector keyring. We've received a couple items like this in past boxes - in the form of a keyring and a pen. This one projects the classic "Don't Open, Dead Inside" doors (I couldn't get a good picture of the projection.
NYCC Pin - Value $5?
This box came with a pin as well. I'm not big on pins - but I love the sewer design for NYCC, I'll take anything TMNT related!
Disco Spiral Print - Value $10?
There was a print in the box as well. This is from Ramon Perez - and it's Spiral! I never expected to see Spiral in any type of box, so this was a nice surprise.
Revolution #1 - Value $3.99
This is the start of a huge crossover story arc for Transformers, G.I. Joe, and MASK, just to name a few. It's fun to see IDW bring these franchises together in one 5-issue arc.
Verdict: This was one of the better Nerd Block exclusive blocks. The value is definitely there and there weren't any previous block items (the projector keychain might be from a previous block - but I think it was in pen form). I really liked the hero items of this box as well - the paperweight, shirt, wallet, and Slimer were great additions to the box - it definitely felt more curated than past limited edition blocks, like the IGN Block, for example.
