Nerd Block: January

Seriously, it seems like January is such a slowpoke month for subscription boxes compared to December. But then again, since I'm a teacher, I was off for about half of December, and time flies by when I can sleep till noon and do whatever I want without worrying about MOY [middle of the year] testing scores, so maybe it's just that.

On the bright side, there's a possible freezing weather warning for Friday, which would mean a possible school warning, but then again, I live in a state, where there's no such thing, as winter, so we shall see what happens.

Introducing Nerdblock.

Nerdblock is similar to Loot Crate, if you've heard of that. It's $20.00 a month, NOT including shipping, and it's aimed for geeks and nerds like my fiance and I. It focuses on things like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Comic Book Characters, My Little Pony, video games, etc. You get 3 or so items, and tee-shirt, which you can order in your size.

They have a limited number of boxes, if you're a member, you will always get the box, unless otherwise noted, but for newcomers, there's a limit of new subscriptions. 

This was my first Nerdblock box.  I kept on getting emails about them, and I thought I'd check it out because I was curious, and since it's not makeup, and most things are geek-themed, I thought maybe it would have stuff for both my fiance and me.

This is a nerd block box.

The unveiling of my first ever Nerd Block box.

Gandalf the Gray was quite curious about my Nerd Block Box

A Pop! Marvel Iron Man 3, War Machine figurine. They're about $12.00. I recently bought an Alice in Wonderland Pop! for my desk at school from Barnes & Noble that I use to teach directional words with [Put Alice above your head, put Alice behind your back, hold Alice in your hands, put Alice far from the table, etc] that my Pre-k Students adore. They get so excited whenever I take out Alice. But anyways, that cost me $12.00, when I bought it. 

I'm meh about the War Machine. I did like Iron Man 3, it was the only Iron Man movie I enjoyed, so I'm indifferent to this particular figurine. I don't think fiance is a big Iron Man fan either, but it's cute. Maybe I can use him in school to teach directional and positional words as well. 

Edit: Fiance thought it was pretty cool, and it is now sitting on his computer desk. 

A My Little Pony Mystery Mini Vinyl Figurine. Not going to lie, I was pretty excited when I saw a my little pony box in the Nerd Block Box. I love My Little Pony. It's worth about $8.00

It was in this bag.

Woot, I GOT A RAINBOW DASH, I LOVE RAINBOW DASH, her and Twilight Sparkle are my favorite. Though Dr. Whooves would have been awesome too. I'm dying to go to Build a Bear so I can build a giant Rainbow Dash and/or Twilight Sparkle, and get tons of Mii Street Passes from the mall so I can plant my garden in that damn Mii Plaza game.

The figure is a nice size too. This is it next to one of the Rainbow Dash figurines I bought on a random after midnight trip to Walmart, not too long ago. 

A Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Splat Flyer. They seem to go from $11.00 to $15.00 on the internet. My fiance, who is a high school math teacher, and teaches Algebra Two [yes he is evil], and his three co-teachers have coined themselves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So, I think he'll get a hit out of this. My only wish was that it was Michelangelo, instead of Raphael since that's who my fiance is, but he was happy with it. 

A Huger Games Figurine, probably worth about 2.00, if that. I found a case of 24 for $50.00, so I assume it's about two dollars, but don't quote me.

It's tiny, and cheap, and the details are horrible, I can't even make out, who it's supposed to be.

It's so tiny, and the details are so craptacular that I can't even tell who it is, I think either Johanna or Wiress, but I could be wrong, it's definitely NOT Katniss.

The tee-shirt this month was Batman themed. I think it's worth about $10.00 because I got referred to nerblock from Shirtpunch, when I ordered a tee over the summer, and their shirts go for ten dollars, for their shirt of the day. I like Batman, I'm indifferent though to the shirt, but I can never have too many tee-shirts, so I'll take it.

Overall, my nerdblock was worth: approximately $43.00, or so.

So I did get double what I paid for the box. And I do think it's a nice collection of random nerdy things, and fiance seemed happy with the random things he inherited from the box. It was only my first box, so I'll be interested to see what kind of stuff we get next month.

I also like getting a random nerdy shirt every month, it's like a Tee Fury grab bag every month.

So check out Nerdblock if you're so inclined.
