Big changes to the Nerd Block subscription for 2017! The items are now selected across a theme, with new packaging and a mini magazine!
This month was all about Iron Man!
The info cards are now all gone – instead, you’ll be able to browse this mini magazine.
If you subscribe to other geek boxes, you’ll be familiar with the format of this magazine. I’m glad to see them move towards something a bit more detailed!
You’ll still get a $10 voucher to the Nerd Block shop. This code is free to the first reader to use it!
Iron Man Blueprint Shirt – Value $15?
This month, everything is exclusive to Nerd Block. This month’s shirt shows off some Tony Stark blueprints for an early suit.
Stark Industries Whiskey Glass 2-Pack – Value $20-25?
I was a bit surprised to find these in the box this month – in a good way.
These glasses have an etched Stark Industries logo in the glass.
These reminded me of the glassware from the initial Loot Crate DX delivery. That’s a pretty great item to receive in a normal tier geek box!
Engraved Drinking Stones – Value $15?
What’s better to go with your drinking glasses than some Iron Man drinking stones!
There are 4 different designs for each granite cube. These are about the size of a normal die piece, may slightly bigger.
Iraon Man 3D Molded Mask Magnet – Value $5?
The next Iron Man item is a mini mask for your refrigerator.
This magnet is about 2 inches tall and looks like it’s hand painted on porcelain. The painting itself it’s the most precise, as well.
Arc Reactor Pin – Value $5-10?
The final Iron Man item of the box is an Arc Reactor pin.
This is definitely a pin that makes the most sense in an Iron Man box!
Verdict: There were a lot of changes for Nerd Block in the beginning of 2017 and this certainly feels like a bit of a different box. I;m always very much in favor of a theme – and the fact that this one was such a specific theme – Stark Industries – was even better. I’m really excited to see what’s next for all the different Nerd Block lines in 2017!

Wow! December and January were a big win for me! I forgot to pause January’s subscription due to the theme, and I’m glad I did forget! I was about to also cancel February since I’m not a fan of Donnie Darko and Back to the Future (though I like Doctor Strange and I’m curious about the t-shirt’s design), but now I’m not so sure, maybe the itens will be worth it.
I guess whiskey glasses are a step up from the mugs we always get, but I’m still not crazy about them. And unfortunately the magnet, ice cubes and pin don’t really make up for it.
I cancelled the Classic Block several months ago. This is the first box I have seen in a year that I actually would have wanted. Even though sad I missed out on it, hitting 1/12 isn’t a good ratio. :/
Looks great, slight FOMO but I cant afford them all haha.
My thoughts exactly!
