January Arcade Block Review

I was trying to find the overall theme for January's Arcade Block, but I don't think it has one.  I know that there are monthly themes for the regular Nerd Block boxes, but I think this one just has a random assortment of things.  Anyway, on to the review...

Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love!

Arcade Block costs $19.99 per month and ships from Canada, so if you live in the U.S. like me it'll cost you around $30 per box.  They feature only video game gear from all genres of games, and each box contains a t-shirt (you choose your shirt size when you sign up).  They also include things like Funko POP Vinyls, stationery, candies, accessories, and more.

• Tetris Notebook ($7.99) - This was also in the December Nerd Block Classic box, so if you subscribe to both, congrats--you are now the owner of two Tetris notebooks!  Pete only subscribes to Arcade Block, so this wasn't a problem for us.  I thought it was weird that they would include this in two boxes so close in succession, but the info card says that they received a lot of emails requesting it, so that's why it's in this month's Arcade Block.
• Retro Sega Genesis Buttons ($5.00?) - I had a Sega Genesis when I was younger and I loved it!  I instantly recognized Earthworm Jim (lower right corner).  The other characters are Sonic the Hedgehog, Ninja Golden, and Battletoads.
• Gorilla Stickers ($3.00?)- The info card says that they "put a Gorilla twist on the best characters from Scorpion to Starfox" for these stickers.  I don't really know what Gorilla is, but I'm assuming it's another game or character.

• Plants vs. Zombies Timepocalypse Comic Book ($9.99) - This is a standalone story based on the popular app game.  I've never played it myself, but I'm familiar with the premise.  I think this is more appropriate for younger kids, so it might be put up for swap.
• Mega Bloks Halo Ghost ($11.99) - I think this was probably Pete's favorite item this month, especially because he bought the Master Chief Collection Halo game a little while ago (I think that's what it's called--sorry, I am not a gamer).  It has 104 pieces and is appropriate for ages 8+.

Here's a peek at what the Plants vs. Zombies comic book looks like.

Bottom Line: It's kind of hard to calculate the value of these boxes because they often include items like the buttons and stickers that I can't find elsewhere online, but guessing at the values of those this box is worth around $37.97.  Value aside, I think this is a really fun box for video game enthusiasts!

What do you think of this month's Arcade Block?
