Geektropolis Star Wars Day Twitter Contest Prize Pack

Hey, everyone! Mike here and I'm going solo today to bring you all something a little different. Back in May, I entered the Geektropolis Star Wars Day Contest on Twitter and ended up being one of the winners! The prize? A Star Wars button pack! Fast-forward a little and I recently received an envelope with the following inside:

Geektropolis Business Card

Who knew something as simple as a business card could be exciting? Geektropolis' one has a freakin' fire-breathing dragon with a frog hanging from its mouth on it. How cool is that? What a great design!

Geektropolis Logo Button

Admittedly, this is the only button in the "Button Pack" and it is pretty sweet. I've always been impressed with the Geektropolis logo and it looks amazing on a button.

R2-D2 Pin

The first of 2 Star Wars pins is of R2-D2. It's made of metal and plastic with a rubber pin back. Outside of the geekily phenomenal design, the pin itself is sturdy and well made. I'm definitely going to have to find something to put this pin on!

BB-8 Pin

This pin helps to round out the pack as R2-D2 was something old and BB-8 is something new. I like that! The pins go together as a pretty sweet pair that should be worn together. The only thing missing? A C-3PO pin.

Overview

Look, make no mistake - This button pack is something won in a contest and I am very, very happy about it. But, I've seen bad prizes before, so it feels great to win something awesome. Props to Geektropolis for putting some thought into a Star Wars Day Contest prize.

Now, before I conclude this post, I want to mention that I also uploaded a video review of this button pack onto Youtube. You can watch it here:

And, that's it for now. Many thanks to Geektropolis for the amazing prize. And, thank you all for reading this entry. More is coming soon, so stay tuned!

Fidget Spinner

Hey, peeps! Mike here, and what kind of review blog would we be if we didn't cover some of the latest crazes every now and then? LOL If you've been anywhere near kids lately, the term "Fidget Spinner" most likely popped up more than once. Well, Jess and I are here to fill you in on what that's all about! That's right! We're in the know and we're going to toss some knowledge at ya... Okay, I'll stop trying to sound cool and just give you the video now...

You know, I am amazed at how something so simple could become such a huge fad. This honestly reminds me of my Pog days. Yes, I said Pog. Do you remember Pogs? I remember Pogs.

ANYWAY, I hope you enjoyed the video. I'm actually gearing up to do some actual written reviews in the near future, so stay tuned for some Vintage In Box coming soon! ;)
