Nerd Block Subscription Box Review – November 2013
Nerd Block is the latest subscription box to join the “geeks and gamers” category (the first box being Loot Crate). Nerd Block sends you lots of collectibles in addition to a T-shirt in every box. And they ship worldwide!
The Box: Nerd Block
The Cost: $19.99 plus shipping (Shipping is $8.75 to Canada, $9.50 to US, $12.50 Worldwide)
The Products: Every Nerd Block comes with a custom t-shirt (in your size) and 5-6 epic items for you to tear into!
Ships to: US, Canada, and Worldwide!
Check out my Nerd Block reviews and Loot Crate reviews!
Boxos Iron Man 3 Papercraft Playset – Retail Value $27
Fortunately this paper set doesn’t require any scissors, glue or tape – but I know my husband would have preferred a regular Iron Man action figure!
Zombie Splat – Retail Value $2
Adventure Time What Time is It? Tee – Retail Value $18
I’m estimating on the value of this shirt (I believe all Nerd Block shirts are custom made for the boxes). FYI – We’ve found the sizing on these shirts to run a little big.
Mario Star Stress Ball – Value $2?
DC Comics Originals Little Mates Key Chain Joker – Retail Value $7.95
Santa Jack Nightmare Before Christmas Plushies – Retail Value $12.50
Verdict: Each Nerd Block is a bit of a gamble to see if they include items from games, tv and movies you love – and this one wasn’t the biggest hit for us, but I’m sure a lot of people loved this box. We paid $19.99 plus $9.50 shipping for this box and received about $70 worth of items (retail value). I think the value of Nerd Block is great, and if I could change one thing about this subscription, I would like to see them include a card with each box to give you a little more information on each item and why they selected it.
What did you think of the November Nerd Block?

Funny, this looks like the best box you guys received out of all the reviews on the site.
I really love your reviews!
I know you’ve only been reviewing Nerd Block for a few months, but I’m having a hard time choosing between Loot Crate and Nerd Block. Do you have any recommendations of one over the other? I live in Canada and both add up to almost the same price for me, so that isn’t a factor in my decision between the two.
Thank you!
I loved this months box! (though I gave a good majority of it to my sister as early Christmas gifts) I received a Edward Scissorhands plush instead so I’m not sure if it was Tim Burton plush’s or maybe just Disney.
Oh and I have suggested to them to do a little listing card but they don’t seem too keen over the idea.
SO wish I ordered this box. I love papercraft, Adventure Time and everything else 🙁 !!
I was overall pretty happy with the nerd block, I have children though so they loved everything. I gave them the Zombie splat as it was eh to me. I was excited about the keychain but mine broke pretty quick and I already threw away the wrapper. We are currently thoroughly enjoying the iron man paper craft set.
