Nerd Block, which is a monthly mystery box full of nerd gear, offered “Grab Blocks” in late February so I decided to pick one up and see what it included.
The Grab Blocks were $9.99 plus shipping so it worked out to $19.94. Every Grab Block includes 4-6 great collectibles and a pop-culture t-shirt from previous themed offerings. There were three themes (Classic, Horror and Arcade) to select from and I opted for the “Classic”.
Nerd Block ships out of Canada and, once shipped, took just under a week to arrive.
My Nerd Block “Grab Box” Classic included the following items:
~Nerd Do Well by Simon Pegg ($16.99): This book is “The unique life story of one of the most talented and inventive comedians, star of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, Spaced, and Star Trek. ” It seems like a fun easy read so I will give it a chance.
~Ghostbusters Slimer Stuffed ($22.99): I don’t know that my 7 year-old is super familiar with Ghostbusters (although he does know what it is), but he thinks this guy is funny. I got the price of WalMart and it seems high, but Amazon showed about the same so I am not totally sure what’s up with it.
~Monty’s Multiple Message Magnets ($7.88): I love these! You put the words together depending on your mood for the day. I am going to put this in my sons room and see what he comes up with everyday.
~Buffy the Vampire Slayer Titans Vinyl Figures – Spike (Nerd Block Exclusive): I usually give my son all the vinyl characters and FUNKO Pop figures for his room, but he has zero idea who this is, so I am not sure what I am going to do with it. It’s well made and looks cool though.
~Harry Potter Annual Butter Beer Pub Crawl T-Shirt: I love this! I got it in a Youth Size so L can wear it. I am guessing I shouldn’t let him wear it to school just in case not everyone knows what Butter Beer is! I don’t want anyone to think he was really out on a pub crawl over the weekend or anything.
~Doctor Who Monsters Blue Print (Nerd Block Exclusive): I don’t know how to value it, so I opted not to. I am not exactly sure what we will do with it, but it’s a cool poster.
I didn’t do a full cost breakdown on this box, but I feel like I got my money worth. I would probably get another Grab Box if they offered them for this price again!
Have you ever gotten a Nerd Block Grab Block? What’d you get it in and did you think it was worth it?
That seems like a good deal for $20 I love that dr who poster super cool :)!
you should obvs give it to librarian who would appreciate it. i have it sitting on my desk!!
Spike?
yes! he’s drinking blood from a mug that says kiss the librarian!!!
My daughter is a mega Buffy/Spike fan. I’d love to buy that Titan mini from you!
Does it matter that I tossed the box? I am happy to send it to you (no charge).
Not at all! She rips here POP vinyls from the boxes as soon as she gets them. Are you sure no charge? That’s so generous!
Did you watch Buffy? You really need to if you haven’t. Spike is OMG so hot and while I do like Angel I was a Spike girl all the way.
agree 100%. happy birthday btvs (show)!
I love Buffy I have bed. After that spike Titan for months. Can I buy it off you?
My family and I just got back from Universal Orlando this week and I posted a picture of me, my husband and my son drinking a butterbeer in Diagon Alley. My grandma saw it and she called me telling me I needed to take it down and that it was way inappropriate. It took me a while to convince her what it was and that there was no alcohol in it 🙂
Oh my gosh. That Slimer is too cute! The company that made it is The Monster Factory out of Toronto. They hand make very small batches of stuffed monsters. They are super cute. I got a chance to tour their factory (which was really just a room, that’s how small production they are) when visiting family in Toronto. I think they made the Slimer just for Loot Crate. But, that probably explains the price. Anyways, enjoy him, I’ve been jealous of everyone getting one! 🙂
Can you still purchase slimmer and do have other merchandise that have otherr items that you end up with extra
If you don’t want the Buffy. I would gladlytake it lol
