MORE October Sub Box Themes

This time of year is my absolute favourite.  It's hoodie weather and Halloween is right around the corner unless you live in Australia.  We are gearing up for summer but my excitement will not be hindered!  Some of my favourite sub boxes are also getting into the spirit and I couldn't be more excited.

Nerd Block Classic has given out one hint; there will be two vinyl figures in the upcoming block.

EDIT: Jem and the Holograms will have an exclusive item in this month's block.  Also, a Gremlins item has been hinted at.  I sincerely hope it isn't the Gizmo plush from last October's Horror Block.  The two vinyls figures haven been confirmed as an Aliens item .  I'm convinced this will be the 2-pack from Septembers Horror Block but can't say for sure.

Arcade Block hints at an officially licensed FALLOUT item.  Retro City Rampage DX, Atari, and Black Ops III is also included in this block.

Horror Block is hinting at a Child's Play Chuckie item as well as 'another guest that can only come inside if invited'

Supergeekbox is a new sub for me.  Found them while browsing Twitter and I have to say I am extremely excited for October.  First month is incredibly cheap (9$) if you would like to give them a try.  Their theme is CHAOS with the preview showing Jack Skellington, Venom (squeeee) and The Joker!  Hints at a jumbo scale geek/gamer item as well as a new Funko item that the world has never seen.  Super stoked to see what's in this box!

1up Box hasn't released any hints for October yet but I am sure there are good things in store.
EDIT: The theme has been announced as NIGHTMARE.  Excitement increased!



Marvel Collector Corps went with VILLAINS for October and I almost jumped off my seat when I saw it.  VENOM is on the box (squeee) and there were claims on Twitter that there was going to be a one of a kind Pop! in this box-no recolours!  Cannot wait for this box.

Herocrate launched its VILLAIN CRATE earlier this month.  It, like the Marvel Collector Corps, is a bi-monthly sub box with an introductory low price (19.99$).  The theme for October is DEADPOOL who I am super excited to see headlining a box on his own.

Lootcrate hasn't updated their October theme possibly due to the shipping blunder they had with September's crate.  Add to the fact they and Bethesda announced the much anticipated FALLOUT 4 Crate for sale follwed by the invariable shitstorm fail of an ordering process they were somehow not prepared for.  Hopefully though, they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and pull off a helluva great October crate.

EDIT: Theme is TIME with teaser hints for Back to the Future, Doctor Who, Bill and Ted and more.




Collectible Geek went back to horror roots for October's theme, UNIVERSAL MONSTERS.  All the black and white monster swag you can handle!
