Nerd Block announced their new block, The Sci-Fi block. Eiren insisted we give it a go to see what's it all about so here it is.
What's in the box???
Shirt Punch Exclusive Tee (1 of 2)
The Off the Ground Hoverboard design we received combines the radiation suit Marty wore and the iconic hoverboard from Back to the Future II. Their was a distinct odor coming off the shirt that was appalling. Everything in the box reeked.
Claudia Wells Autograph
Nerd Block has been notorious for including autographed memorabilia in their blocks much to fans delight.
Star Wars Mad Libs
Nerd Block is making of habit of including these in every other block.
Doctor Who Keychain (1 of 2)
Funko Pocket Pop! keychain of your favourite doctor, I've seen several complains around the net about mystery boxes claiming to have a Funko Pop! and much to customer disappointment, it has only been a Funko keychain. I constantly remind my mates that regardless of what we would naturally value something like a Funko keychain for, it is a Funko product that has it's own retail well above what we would price it at. That being said, if the keychains aren't your favourite, they make great gifts or there are many outlets on the net to trade.
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Can Cozy (1 of 4)
I can safely say that I have never used a cozy. I seem to have quite a bit of them simply because of their design but for me they serve no practical purpose.
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Funko Pop! Vinyl (Assorted)
I do enjoy the fact that Nerd Block is going for more assortment of items instead of every block containing the exact same loot. I do like that these Funko have their own stylish stand for display.
We pulled Kylo Ren (Eiren hates it) and his lightsaber is torqued a bit but no bother to me.
Some parting words on Sci-Fi block. I think I see what Nerd Block was attempting to achieve but I'm not sure I'm on board. The items in this block very well could/have been in any of their other blocks. There wasn't anything in this block that set it apart from the others. Eiren has decided to give the block another month before making the decision to cancel for good.

Gnarly!

Deathgasm Movie Poster
Box of Dread Signature Series Print
This one is from Tales from Halloween if my memory serves correctly? I have heard that the print in this month's box is random so that's rad.
Paranormal Activity The Ghost Dimension Move Poster
The Marked Ones really ruined Paranormal Activity for me but this one looks perhaps good, if I'm drunk. Who knows?
Just Desserts Making of Creepshow DVD
This was a UK exclusive if my memory serves correctly? It's definitely worth a watch!

Loot Crate NYCC Exclusive 'Creepy' Crate
My housemates have surprised me with this crate. I didn't even know it existed let alone it was up for purchase.
Comes with a COA from Loot Crate
What's in the box???
I like this unique loot preview card.
Blackest Night Collector Card Set
Not sure if each pack is random or if they are predetermined. My pack contained Black Lantern Batman and Black Hand, Black Lantern Superman, and Black Lantern Corps.
Fear in a Can Sound Effects Machine
At first glance, I thought it was a real siren. It is battery operated and has 8 spooky recordings. My personal favourite is PSYCHO SHOWER.
MEZCO Glow-in-the-dark Chucky Figure
Shudder. Chucky the little maniac in overalls. Very well-made vinyl.
Glow-in-the-Dark Zombie Gnome
You had me until Gnome. I absolutely loathe garden gnomes. Even though this little bugger is a zombie, I can't bring myself to remove him from his cardboard prison.
Resident Evil Umbrella Corp. Umbrella
Great gift for Resident Evil fans!
Funko Crimson Peak Vinyl Figure
Blood splatters included!

Super Geek Box October 'Chaos'
This is my first ever Super Geek Box and the bastard is here today- a week earlier than it was supposed to be! Hell yea to that.
A blue box of happiness...ah
Mine arrived in pretty beat up condition. Not sure if the postal courier is a rough lad or having a bad day or....? In any event, the box was (do I dare say) opened upon arrival. There were several 'seal' stickers all over the box. Bummer.
What's in the box???
ONE
Funko 1 of 3 Nightmare Before Christmas Mopeez
He's an angry Boogie Man aye?
TWO
Pop Rocks 1 of 3 Assorted Flavours
What's an October Mystery box without a little something sweet? My nephew looks forward to his visits cos he knows I keep these especially for him. The popping makes him giggle like mad.
THREE
SUPER GEEK BOX EXCLUSIVE Dead Pixel Air Freshener
Scary Boo on one side, shy Boo on the opposite. I'm beginning to suspect companies believe all geeks and gamer reek. Just about every sub box sends these air fresheners.
FOUR
SUPER GEEK BOX EXCLUSIVE Fractured Funny Bone Tee
The Joker never could catch a 'break'. I'll just let myself out.
FIVE
SUPER GEEK BOX EXCLUSIVE Villainous Cloak of Chaos
My first reaction was that it was a cape of sorts. It's a face-r-chief (?)
I will definitely not use it as its intended purpose. It will be a display piece somewhere...
SIX
SUPER GEEK BOX EXCLUSIVE Zombie Shredder 5000
A chainsaw foam finger. The same time you can purchase at sporting events except this is a bad ass chainsaw.
