Nerd Block August 2016 Subscription Box Review + Coupon

Nerd Block is a monthly mystery geek & gamer subscription box. Every month includes a new shirt and Nerd Block boxes are typically filled with fun toys and figurines and other geek accessories. It really is a box for everyone who enjoys nerdy and pop culture things.

Geek Tested, Nerd Approved!

The information card shows the featured item of the month!

As usual, the other items are on the back of the card.

Everything in the August box!

Ghostbusters Print: I’m not usually a fan of prints unless they are fantastic, which this one is! This one has a focus on the villains, which is a good focus as we swing into fall and head towards Halloween. I love the artwork on this, it’s really great. My print was a little crumply though. This is the second time I’ve had issues with a Nerd Block print. Last time they gave me some shirt punch credits – I’d rather just have a new print.

Masters Of The Universe M.U.S.C.L.E. Figures: These are normally a bizarre puke-pink color so I was happy to see this exclusive gray color!

Which ones did you get? These are all the possible variations!

They are definitely in the style of your normal green soldiers, but gray and He-Man instead. Also really finely detailed! Particularly exciting for me – Sorceress of Castle Grey Skull! Are we getting another live action? Because that would be rad. 30 years is long enough to wait.

Back to the Future Time Circuit Luggage Tag: Back to the Future items never disappoint, and this is no different. I usually don’t check a bag when I travel (my husband is always like Brandy… are you taking enough stuff? I really pack light) but who cares, this is totally going on my bag!

Lord of the Rings Eye of Sauron Snow Globe: This is an exclusive item, and one of the most inventive geek items I’ve seen yet. A craggy tower is encircled by the one ring and above it a perfect globe holding Sauron’s Eye.

Black and orange glitter fill the globe when you shake it. I love snow globes and this one is really geeklicious. Desk worthy!

Vault of Simpsonology – Bart Simpson’s Manual of Mischief: All subscribers received one of five Simpsons books – Bart, Lisa, Homer, Grampa, or Mr. Burns. I got the Bart Simpson’s Manual of Mischief book.

Watch out for El Barto!

This is a great book with lots of ephemera and stickers and even a foldout poster.

A look inside the book.

Shirtpunch Labyrinth Shirt: This is awesome and I love the totally 80s look to it. Those diamond accents everywhere are pretty much everything. It’s a tossup for me between this and the Lootcrate shirt – they’re sure to both be tops in my rotation. It’s just everything.

There’s also a $10 coupon included when you purchase from ShirtPunch! After you use your code SAVE YOUR CARD – you have to try to collect all 9 pieces to get a completed puzzle and get a $100 card. I’m betting there will be only a few linchpin puzzle pieces – most of the pieces we have received have identical backs.

Shirt Punch has shirts as low as $10 (shipping $6), so you can get a shirt around $6, which is an awesome deal, but I love the daily bundles they have!  I usually hate things I have to spend extra money on, but I’m totally ok with spending $4 for a shirt or about $9 for a shirt + Pop.

Another amazing month for me – Nerd Block is hitting all my (slightly aging) geek buttons! Last month I mentioned that I needed a Masters of the Universe shirt and while I haven’t picked one up yet, I was fairly geeked over the little figures – and my husband was like 10x that (I still haven’t told him about my She-Ra Princess of Power sleeping bag…).
