Nerd Block Jr: Girls, April 2014.

Either yesterday or Saturday, my Nerd Block Junior appeared. I haven't had an opportunity to check the mail, so it's probably been sitting in the front office for awhile.

Nerd Block Jr is the kid's version of Nerd Block. There are two types: Girls and Boys, I order the girl's box just because I like things like My Little Pony because I am the most immature adult ever. This is only the second month that Nerd Block Jr has been in existence.

Nerd Block Jr is $13.99 a month, and it consists of stuffed animals and toys basically. They list the value of each item in the box on the box, but their prices are CAD [Canadian American dollars], which are not the same as the US dollar, my estimates on prices are based on US dollars, NOT CAD, so my prices will be different than what is listed on the box.

A Clumsy Smurf Plushie, worth $9.00.  [and check out my awesome Eeveelution background] Out of all the smurfs, I will say that Clumsy is probably the one that is the most like me since I'm a complete klutz. It's cute, but I haven't watched The Smurfs since the 1980s :P

A My Little Pony Miniatures set, mine is "class of the cute marks" worth $8.00. I always see these in Target and I'm always tempted to get them. This will be a nice addition to my My Little Pony collection I have in the other room, even though Applejack isn't my favorite pony.

A Disney "Miss Flirt" sticker probably worth .50, if that. Eh, it's a sticker.


A playmobile figurine, worth $3.50. Mine was the Statue of Liberty, and I would like to point out, that even with directions, it took both me and my fiance to build this thing correctly, and even he had trouble with it, so I'm not quite sure how a five year old can build this thing.
A Filly princess Figurine. I can't even find these on the internet. I'll value it at $2.00. It's basically a wannabe My Little Pony figure, but they're soft and velvety. It can go into my future D&D figurine box collection

Overall Value: $23.00, aproximentaly.
 
It was over the value of what I initially paid, and I do think that Box 2 was much better than box 1. The Smurf plushie is cute and I really like the My Little Pony playset.
 
So if this seems like your thing, check out Nerd Block Jr.

Nerd Block Jr, Girls: March 2014

I may be an adult, but I still love toys and stuffed animals. That's why when Nerd Block announced Nerd Block Jr, I was intrigued.

Nerd Block Jr comes from the makers of Nerd Block, and is designed to appeal to children ages 6-11. There's a boy's version and a girl's version. It's $13.99 a month, although, with shipping, I think it averages to around  $16.00 to the United States, it's still cheaper than regular Nerd Block though.

I chose the girl's box.

First peak inside.

Unlike regular Nerd Block, Nerd Block Jr does not come with a tee-shirt. It comes with a collection of stuffed animals, toys, figurines, and things like that to appeal to a younger generation.

A My Little Pony Pencil Case, I've found a similar item, featuring Rainbow Dash, for about $8.00.
It comes with two little pencils, two pretty awesome erasers, and a sheet of stickers. It's pretty nifty, and there are lots of items I can use in there to bribe my pre-k students with. And who doesn't like stickers?

A Bear Plushie from Brave, worth about $11.00. While Brave certainly isn't my favorite Disney movie, I have to admit, the bear is really cute :)

A Hello Kitty Mega-Block figurine, worth $1.50.  This will be another welcome prize into my pre-k prize box. My pre-k students love Hello Kitty. Or maybe it can be a D&D figurine. 

A My Little Pony Pinkie Pie Slap Bracelet, worth $1.50ish. I remember, in the 80s, where slap bracelets were cool, guess that's coming back in style. My students would love picking this out of the prize box.

A Mega Blocks Moshi Monster Build-A-Monster set. worth $11.00. My fiance has already stolen this because he loves himself some legos.

So the overall value was: $33.00, which is double what I paid for it.

I think Nerd Block Jr is a fun subscription, and I think it's something that kids [and adults] would really enjoy. I like all the little toys. As a teacher, they're all things that are great to use in a classroom, as a reward. Now, if only they'd throw some Pokemon, into the mix, I'd be very happy :)
