Loot Crate
Cost: $19.37/month
Ships To: US, Canada, UK & Australia.
Loot Crate (who kindly sent me this box to review) is a monthly subscription box full of hand-picked, awesome geek and gamer products. Each month, for less than $20, you’ll receive 6-8 products which are guaranteed to have a value of $30 or more.
Loot Crate ships via USPS Priority Mail and generally takes two days to arrive to me. L loves getting out crates and always helps me with the unboxings!
The first look had me quite excited! I wondered where my information booklet was, but it turns out that Loot Crate is now doing a digital version of their magazine (a “digital zine”)! Future months will have both a physical copy and the digital zine. They send a link to the Zine with the warning not to look at it until you have received your crate! I waited, but that’s probably because I didn’t see the e-mail until after it came anyway ;).
The May 2014 Loot Crate theme was “Adventure” and celebrates heroes, companions, exploration and the revered franchises that evoke the spirit of Adventure. Here is what was included:
~Zelda Legend Link T-Shirt ($19.99): I may not a huge Zelda fan, but I am a huge fan of the design of this t-shirt. If you look closely, the image is actually words which describe the character. They also offer other characters and I may have to browse around and see what I can find for L.
~The Friend Zone Soundtrack (~$10): I know nothing about The FriendZone, other than it’s a YouTube show. I will probably end up trading this to someone who watches the show.
~Adventure Time Tin (Lumpy Space Princess) ($6.67): L denies every seeing this show, but I am pretty sure he has? I know I have. And B has too! This time and the little guy are super cute and I’ll put it up in the playroom.
~Minecraft Hanger (Zombie Pig) ($6): Ahh, yes, Minecraft. B and L are pretty much addicted. They play on laptops now instead of iPads because “it’s better”. I still don’t get the craze, but they are obsessed!
~Dangerous To Go Alone Opener and Pin: These are both Loot Crate exclusives. The pins come every month and can collect / display them. The bottle opener is there to get you through a dangerous situation when you are in a situation with nothing to open your bottle with.
~Stickers / Tattoos: Also included in the crate is a curator sticker set (from your friends at Polaris and Maker), a few tattoos from YouTube sensation Markiplier and Captain Sparklez stickers!
I couldn’t do a full cost breakdown on this month’s Loot Crate because I didn’t have prices for everything, but since the t-shirt costs more than the entire cost of the crate ($19.37 including shipping), you can be certain you got your money’s worth!
