Supply Pod February 2016 Subscription Box Review & Coupon – X-Files Box

The truth may be somewhere in this box! Supply Pod by Outer Places is a new bimonthly subscription box catering to Sci-Fi Fans. Supply Pod delivers products themed around upcoming sci-fi releases and scientific events and calls itself The subscription box where science meets science fiction!

Hello Scully!

The theme for the January-February box is The X Files! Hooray! I’m so excited for the next four episodes I can barely stand it.

Everything in the Pod!

The X Files Funko Dana Scully Vinyl Figure ($11.37) I was thrilled to get Dana, and what I thought was even more exciting is that all boxes included her, instead of one of an assortment. She’s totally rad and I’m just really excited about having her watching over the rest of our crazy Funkos. Who knows what they get up to in the middle of the night?!

Truth Detector Card: A silly and fun little gag toy.

Cell Phone Wallet: I have never put one of these on my phone, but now that I am looking at it right here next to my card, it occurs to me that it’s the perfect place to store my bus pass, which I’m always fumbling for. So useful!

The truth is right here, under my husband’s thumb!

Be Ready Beanie Hat: Be ready – you never know when you’ll meet an alien (or a little cool weather!). The back of the beanie has the Outer Places logo.

The Real Science Behind the X-Files by Anne Simon ($18.44)  I’m really excited by this because it’s not some wackadoo book, but an actual molecular biologist who was the science advisor for the show!

Could an alien organism really survive a centuries-long trip on a meteor and remain virulent enough to attack a human being? How would a scientist know she was peering at a microbe from another planet? What’s the possibility of a genetically mutated monster actually developing?
In a gripping exploration of the facts behind the science fiction that has enthralled millions of X-philes, Anne Simon — the respected virologist who comes up with the science for many intriguing episodes — discusses telomeres, cloning, the Hayflick limit, nanotechnology, endosymbionts, lentiviruses, and other strange phenomena that have challenged the intellect and threatened the lives and sanity of America’s favorite FBI agents. With Simon’s extraordinary gift for explaining complicated, cutting-edge science in a light, accessible style, and her behind-the-scenes commentary on the development of various plot lines,The Real Science Behind the X-Files will appeal to science buffs and X-Files aficionados alike.

X-Files Timeline Poster: This is just as cool as the one from the Star Wars box! I didn’t get a chance to read this before the premiere, and admittedly it’s been a long time since the X-Files was on the air – I forgot about the baby! (How could I forget about the baby?! I’m old, that’s how!). Tom & I are reading the whole thing tonight.

IDW The X-Files Season 11 #1 ($3.99)

Mulder has become a fugitive from a government that considers him a “secrets stealer” on the order of Julian Assange or Edward Snowden thanks to the mechanizations of “The Glasses-Wearing Man.” It’s up to Scully, and what allies Mulder has left, to work to clear his name and keep the government itself from falling further into the villain’s clutches.

This comic arrived bagged and boarded.

Next to Star Trek, The X Files was responsible for a great deal of my geekery so I was excited for this box, and it didn’t let me down. Not everything in the box is OMGSCIENCE, it’s more like a sciencey twist on our favorite geeky franchises, which makes it accessible and fun for most everyone.
