Star Trek Comic Haul — Thrift Store Win or Warp‑Speed Ripoff?

 Today’s thrift‑store treasure hunt turned into a full‑on Star Trek score for Spencer. We found a set of 36 vintage Star Trek comics, ranging from the early eighties to the early nineties, all in surprisingly good condition for their age.

They were marked at $2 each, but we grabbed the whole set for $50, which felt like a steal. The video below shows all the covers, and the artwork alone is worth flipping through.

Now here’s where I need your input: Did we get a good deal or get ripped off? I already have my opinion, but I love hearing what other collectors, fans, and bargain hunters think. Whether you’re a Trekkie, a comic nerd, or just someone who loves a good thrift‑store find, let me know your thoughts.

Live long and comment boldly.

In honor of the holiday, I got to review this awesome Harry Potter costume pajama set from the site. I've loved Harry Potter since the book series. I was so excited to get these in the mail! The material of the pajamas was nice and lightweight while still being warm for cool and chilly nights. These are perfect for lounging in on a movie or date night. The pants had a drawstring for added customization to size. The shirt was nice and long with an adorable Hufflepuff logo printed on the side. I got size XL because I like my pajamas to have an oversized fit. These were perfect. Not too big, but not too tight either. I'll always be rocking my Hufflepuff pride in these!

KarePax Monthly Subscription - Indy Comics & Snacks from Around the World - #Giveaway

I love trying out new snacks, and I especially enjoy trying things from different cultures.  KarePax gives you the opportunity to sample unique treats from far off lands and old favorites from closer to home with their unique subscription service. Starting at the low price of only $26 a month, a new selection of snacks from Madrid, Thailand , Germany, and other places from all over the world can be shipped right to your door, allowing you to sample some of the coolest products on the worldwide market and see which ones you enjoy the most. In addition to all these delicious treats, you can also opt for boxes that include a surprise selection of comic books!

I received an KarePax Box to try out and I was pretty impressed with the selection. The package is a little larger than a shoe box, but it's packed with tons of tasty treats and an awesome comic book my tween son loved. 

This month's box included selections from:

Katherine Beecher Yogurt Coated Pretzel Ribbons
Pocky Sticks 
Koala's March Strawberry Creme Filled Cookies
Delicje Orange European Biscuits 
Sesame Seed Cream Crackers
Dorina Chocolate Bar with Hazelnuts & Honey
Palmer's Giant Peanut Butter Cup
Euro Ellse Banana Cakes
Ferreri Hazelnut Cookie
Mallo Cups
Jack Links Lil' Chub
Cow Tales
Jumbo Tornado 6
Kopiko Cappuccino candies
Bonhi
HI Chews
Coconut Candies
Kinder
Orange Bubble Gum

Wow, that is such a HUGE selection! Some of these brands I was familiar with, but most were completely new to me. There was really something for everyone in my family in this box. My daughter loved the Pocky sticks and my son devoured the giant peanut butter cup. My hubby loved that it wasn't all sweet snacks. His favorite was the Jack Links Lil' Club. I was super excited that Mallow Cups were included. These were one of my favorites when I was a kid, but I haven't been able to find them in years!

 Diversity is what this box is really about. It gave my family a chance to experience a little of the culture of other countries. Now my children know what kids their age are eating all around the world. I think that alone makes this box worth the price.  Getting the comic is a great bonus that makes this box stand apart from all the others. My kids can enjoy a unique snack and do a little reading at the same time. Each box can be customized to your unique likes and dislikes and comic books can be chosen that are age appropriate to the recipient.

 If you're looking to try out some new snacks and want a unique experience,you should definitely give KarePax a try. To see what's coming up in next month's box, be sure to visit their website.
