The Nerd Block box for March 2015 delivers a whole host of goodies inside a convenient package.

Very impressed by the delivery of this box. It shipped from Canada on Wednesday March 18 and arrived at my door in the UK on Saturday March 21.

The price for this box (as a single month subscription using a discount code) was $17.99, plus $12.50 shipping to the UK – total $30.49.

That’s about £21 (British pounds), allowing for bank and credit card charges, at the current exchange rate.

I can confirm that no import taxes or duties were charged upon arrival, so the £21 was the total fee.

Box Review

Several exclusive items here, including the well-designed T-Shirt, which is a must have for Shaun of the Dead fans.

I also notice that there’s no barcode on the book, which makes me thing that it’s an exclusive printing. This is one I had on my “to read” list, so the timing is excellent.

The Guardians of the Galaxy nesting dolls are a nice novelty item, rather like Russian Dolls.

The other items don’t interest me very much, but they’ll make good gifts.

Overall, there’s more than enough “fun stuff” here to give value for money – and half of the joy of these geek boxes is opening them up to find out what’s inside.
