Hey there, depending on whether you know the resolution, you could use getY() == 1080 (for 1920x1080 for example), then remove it Or use if(isAtEdge()), then remove it ( world.removeObject(this); )

if (getY() == getWorld().getHeight()-1) getWorld().removeObject(this);
// or
if (isAtEdge()) getWorld().removeObject(this);
The first way is a little more precise since you specified the bottom edge of the world.

Now... The Block disappears when it hits the bottom... Now I want the Block to reappear in the same position and do pretty much the same thing again... How would I be able to do that?? Is it even possible?

Maybe even change size a bit as well... :)

If you want the actor to "hide" at the edge, you probably should not remove it from the world -- just zero the transparency value of its image and change it back when it moves away from the edge. 
if (isAtEdge())
{
    getImage().setTransparency(0);
}
else
{
    getImage().setTransparency(255);
}
or 
getImage().setTransparency(isAtEdge() ? 0 : 255);
