Disclosure: I was sent The October Box from MyGeekBox to review and was compensated for my time to write this post. All opinions expressed are my own and not influenced in any way.

Now, what people seem to forget is being a father is a full time job and sometimes we need a little bit of ‘us time’ to calm our heads from time to time. Being a bit of a geek myself I was happy to hear from the guys at MyGeekBox about taking a look at what they have to offer and for the price I was more than pleased.

The Arrival of the box was a bit of a mix up but that’s not a matter as I was between many addresses and would be surprised if anyone could have really known where I was, but based on what I see and hear online about the service MyGeekBox sends out the parcels mid way through every month here in the UK with a 3 day delivery service so that it arrives at your door just in time to quench the excitement.

Enough of that, let’s get this box open..

On first glance the packaging is of really high quality and a great size bringing me the hope that from time to time the box would be rammed full of surprises. The blue is somewhat loveable in its effect and really catches the eye as something fresh and new to the shores of good old Blighty.

*cut cut snip* and I’m in.

Fall out Tshirt

Looks like we’ve been sent a zombie theme box and my eye goes straight for the biggest of items.. The Tshirt.. And the first thing that pops into my head is “no mutants allowed”. I’m a gamer dad at heart so knew this was a ‘fall out’ Tshirt from the get go and loved the design.

Pro: this type of design and tee is hard to get hold of and the design is just down right awesome.

Con: As much as I loved the fit and tee a few finer details, for example, getting a Gilden tagless tee would have been much better.

World War Z Book

Now let’s move on to the World War Z book by Max Brooks, surprised to see this on the box as its already priced at £9.99 just by itself. I’ve previously watched the movie but as an avid reader I find my imagination works a lot better at making these stories more exciting.

Pro: amazed to see this in the box for such a price and an awesome addition to my book collection

Con: Can’t fault it.. Nice job

AMC Vinyl Figure

Im not really a collector as such when it comes to vinyl figurines as I now need to keep these kind of things hidden from my daughters need to bite and chew everything but I’m still intrigued. It’s the walking dead collection and a bit like Christmas it’s fun to see what I get …. DRUM ROLL PLEASE…. It’s Rick.. This guy is just awesome, clean figure and really well presented.

Pro: great addition for any character collector or hobbyist and an awesome figure to have if you’re a fan of the show (as I am)

Con: a bit out of sync as its only series 2 characters but not that much of a problem.

Small additions

Now this made me smile, adding in the much needed glow stick for the zombie apocalypse that will surely be coming our way soon is great to see in the box.. I smaller detail that really helps pull through the idea that this is a zombie box, but the ultimate piece, A TWINKIE, Zombieland eat your heart out, Woody Harrelson come my way if you ever want another.

All in all MyGeekBox is a great idea for those dads who like the geekier side of things, with a different theme each month and a bargain when looking at prices. From only £14.99 to £16.99 a month depending on subscription you can’t help but see the absolute bargain you’re getting from MyGeekBox.
