Dear Hulu,

Why only the *FIRST* season of Newhart? We need more Larry, Darryl, and Darryl.

Thankfully, We eased our loss by watching some Rhoda, Mary Tyler Moore, and The Odd Couple.

It was 70’s-80’s TV weekend for us, especially Sunday.

We didn’t do much boardgaming, I played mostly android versions of the same while watching tv – a little ticket to ride and small world.  We didn’t get to Third Eye Games

I’ve wanted to play a little hive, too. (I liked the chocolate upgrade first found here)

 

Geek and Sundry tabletop nerd block 2016

Fail.
Nerd block usually gets things right, but this was terrible.

A lackluster t-shirt,2 pencils, a little note pad, a deck of cards, some character coins, MTG action figure, geek and sundry bumper sticker, dungeons and dragons comic book  and  a novelty die  (all ones d6 in a blister pack).

Lots of filler, not a lot of “meat”. I’d say the only thing that will get much use is the notepad, because I use those things like potato chips.

I have really no idea what the character coins are used for.

No way in hell is that worth $50+shipping.

Won’t be buying anything with the G&S brand again anytime soon, and I am sorely disappointed in nerd block for this sub-par offering.

Did *anyone* like this block?

So disappointed, I’m considering filing with BBB. Nerd Block is a bit notorious when it comes to customer service.

Edit: Followup – 

 I was given the invoice for the “wholesale” prices of my items.

  • T-shirt $11.50
  •  Vinyl Toy – $4.00
  • Bumper Sticker – $2.00
  • Toy Tokens – $6.50
  • Toy Dice – $4.00
  • Notepad – $3.48
  • Comic Book – $4.50
  • Pencils – $4.05
  • Playing cards – $3.46

According to NB that MTG figure, costs the same as two, very standard/simple, pencils. Wholesale. These are supposed to be wholesale prices!

In what world do two pencils cost that much?  Or a novelty die that has all ones?

Seriously?
