Nerd Block is a geek & gamer subscription box straight out of Canada. Every month includes a new shirt and Nerd Block boxes are typically filled with fun toys and figurines. It really is a box for everyone who enjoys nerdy and pop culture things.
The front of the card usually features an exclusive or special item and the rest are on the back. I generally like this card and it looks nice! No values, though. This box is $19.99 per month, which is a steal, until you add on the $9.50 shipping. Ouch! Better deals are available with longer term subscriptions.
The Theme for May was “Ani-May” and the entire block was anime themed. Our 13 year old reviewer (who is working on coming up with a blog name so we don’t use her real one, because it’s just too weird) is an anime-freak, and most of these items will be passed to her when she visits next month!
My Neighbor Totoro Buttons ($4?) Me, do you want Totoro Buttons? Her, YASSSSSSSS. These are especially cool because they’re produced for the Japanese market.
Cowboy Bebop Convertible Bandana ($8?) Cowboy Bebop is the gateway drug to anime – a classic series produced by Sunrise (same team as GUNDAM – below).
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project, Vol. 1 ($7.67) I recognize this! This is a manga (book) adaptation of the most popular anime series from when I was in high school besides Sailor Moon.
Dragon Ball Z Frieza (Final Form) Funko POP Vinyl ($9) This is the exception – we aren’t passing this along because it will go in the POP collection! Dragon Ball Z is of course a Japanese anime television series.
Attack on Titan String Backpack ($14?) Attack on Titan is a manga (book) series. We use these for shoe bags when we travel or for sports gear!
GUNDAM T-Shirt ($15) A classic Japanese anime franchise. The characters wear giant robot suits I think.
This box had around a $58 value, which was excellent. I think they probably could have included some more recent anime series but I think the curation was good. If I didn’t have an anime fan I would say there would be a couple items we wouldn’t use – but there’s still enough in this box that I would be happy with it.
