Valor Blocks is a monthly subscription box that features exclusive collectibles and merchandise from the world’s most prominent protective services organizations, for $34 per month.
Their new US Army Block is their first block, but US Navy Block, US Marine Corps Block, and US Air Force Block are landing soon!
Valor Blocks comes with licensed products from the U.S. Army.
This is a review of the U.S. Army box. I think it’s awesome that revenue from licensed products like these goes to MWR programs. MWR programs include libraries, community education and recreation, base childcare, entertainment, and more – things that make a big difference in the quality of life for service members and their families but that aren’t always Federal budget priorities.
DEAL: Active duty members + veterans receive a 10% discount! You’ll confirm your identity through a third-party service on checkout.
This month’s feature item was a set of U.S. Army headrest covers. The entire box had somewhat of a vehicular theme.
The information card is similar to the old Nerd Block info card (they’re from the same family), with a list of items and a short description. The items mostly speak for themselves, so not much explanation is needed.
Everything in the June 2017 Valor Blocks box. Everything is officially licensed with the U.S. Army, with all the proceeds beyond those used to fund licensing operations going, by statute, toward the support of recreation and enrichment programs for service members and their families.
C&D Visionary U.S. Army Freshener: Smells like freedom. Scented generically like men’s “fresh scent” cologne, this cardboard disk freshener features the seal of the Army on each side.
The scent is officially “New Car.”
The detail on the print is exquisite – it looks like a patch or badge, with no pixelation or granularity visible.
C&D Visionary U.S. Army Self Adhesive Medallion: This medallion is made of medal with an enamel Army logo on the face.
It is, of course, licensed properly.
The back has a self-adhesive strip.
U.S. Army Keychain: A simple keychain with a clear casing. One side features the Army logo.
The other side shows the Army seal.
U.S. Army Headrest Covers: A set of two smooth headrest covers in black. Each has a patch with the Army Seal.
The product is officially licensed, complete with hologram sticker. They fasten with a cord and slide.
U.S. Army Est. 1775 T-Shirt: A white tee commemorating the founding date of the U.S. Army.
The print has a colonial style shield and wheat flourishes.
We’re impressed with the quality of the items in this block! We love the effort that has gone in to licensing everything properly so service members ultimately benefit from the sale of the products. It’s an excellent box for anyone looking for more swag celebrating the US Army – spouses, respectful fans, parents, new recruits, and young and old veterans alike.
