Saving the Best for Last: DesignerCon 2017 Recap


DesignerCon 2017 has come and gone in a blink of an eye. This year was the biggest and most crowded that DCon has ever been. Maybe it was partly due to the holiday weekend but we can say a lot of collectors came out in full force from all over the world to attend and to pick up exclusives from their favorite company or artists.

This was also the last year that DesignerCon will be at the Pasadena Convention Center. DesignerCon has definitely grown and they still had artists & vendors on the waiting list to get a booth even though spaces were already filled. In all the years that we've been attending DesignerCon, it was never this crowded. Even towards the later hours of the show it was jammed packed. We were stuck in Hall C on Saturday shuffling down the aisles. It felt like SDCC.

Collector Corps HULK Unboxing

Collector Corps HULK Unboxing is our last unboxing post for 2017. Don't make HULK mad! Check out our unboxing pictures below:

The Legend of Zelda Fun Stuff Collectible Box Unboxing

Here's The Legend of Zelda Fun Stuff Collectible Box which we also found at Walmart. They also had Call of Duty WWII which we didn't buy. Check out our pics below:

Super Mario Fun Stuff Collectible Box Unboxing

To our surprise we found a Super Mario Fun Stuff Collectible Box by CultureFly at Walmart. Check out our pictures below:

Super Nintendo Fun Stuff Collectible Box Unboxing

Check out this eye-catching Super Nintendo Box filled with Nintendo, Super Nintendo & Gameboy items. This box is by CultureFly. Don't know if these are specialty boxes just for Walmart which is where we got this one and a few others one which we'll post our unboxings next. Most of the items are already revealed with only one item that is a mystery. Check out our pictures below:

The Nick Box Snowed In Unboxing

Here's our unboxing of the The Nick Box "Snowed In". Another awesome quality box which other subscription boxes should take notes of. The box itself is something you want to keep. Culturefly is the company behind The Nick Box and they have the collector in mind when designing their boxes. Also note that their boxes do come wrapped in plastic so the mailing label will not be stuck to the box which can be annoying. Hopefully everyone has received their Nick Box. If not spoilers ahead:

Loot Crate Explore Unboxing

This is our Loot Crate Explore Unboxing. Check out our pictures below:

Loot Wear Unite 2.0 Unpacking

Here's is the Loot Wear Unite 2.0 Unpacking pictures. We received this a week before Christmas so with Christmas and the Holidays, we didn't have the time to unpack this to see what's inside until now. Pretty sure everyone has seen the items. If not, great! Check out our pictures below:

Loot Anime Besties Unboxing

 Loot Anime November 2017's Theme is Besties. Loot Anime has been consistently arriving in time which usually arrives the first week or so of the next month. The cut-off date to subscribe each month is a later date in the month than Loot Crate etc...

Check out our unboxing pictures below:

Loot Crate Unite 2.0 Unboxing

The November Theme for Loot Crate was Unite 2.0. This crate was not our cup of tea. We also did not receive this crate until December which is why this unboxing post is so late. Obviously with Christmas coming soon after we received this crate we had to put some of our postings on hold as we were busy getting ready for Christmas.

Check out our unboxing pictures below:

Loot Pets Greatest Hits Vol. 1 Unboxing

This is the second to last Loot Pets box which was themed Greatest Hits Vol. 1 which featured some of their best items from Loot Pets throughout it's run. Yes, sadly Loot Pets is ending with one more box for December. Unfortunately, we received November's box in December so that means we'll be receiving the December and Final Loot Pets crate in January. We do not know the reason why their crates etc... have not been arriving by the 28th of each month. The items inside this box could be different than the one that you received as there was no specific item revealed in the postcard with this box. All the information we were given was that there are 2 Treats, 1 Toy, 2 Accessories and 1 Charm. Our unboxing pictures below:
