Boxometry BrickSwag October 2015 Review - Brick Booster Pack Plus Bonus Minifig

Product: Brick Booster Pack Plus Bonus Minifig
Retail Value: $10.00

The booster pack comes with various Lego pieces, and also includes a bonus mini figure. It appears to be a police car as it comes with a little policeman figure. My son is too young to play with it, but I'll be saving them so we can build them together when he's a little older.

Boxometry BrickSwag October 2015 Review - Custom Trading Cards

Product: Custom Trading Cards
Retail Value: $2.50

The box included five custom trading cards. I currently don't own any Lego trading cards, but I can start building a collection for my little guy.

ProductsRetail Value
Mini Brick Bot Build $8.00
Robot Line Up Tee Shirt $14.99
Brick Booster Pack Plus Bonus Minifig $10.00
Custom Trading Cards $2.50
Total $35.49

Final Thoughts: Most of the items in the BrickSwag box is custom or exclusive, so all of the values are estimated based on retail prices of similar products. However, exclusive items tend to have higher value since you can't purchase them anywhere else unless you received this subscription, so the value is probably higher. Overall, I really enjoyed the BrickSwag box. The custom brick bot is adorable and easy to build with the clear instructions. The booster pack can be used for anything you want...just use your imagination! All of the items fits the theme well. If you are looking for a Lego subscription for yourself or for your little one, I would recommend BrickSwag.
