Each Loot Crate we have received so far has been an epic treasure chest of awesomeness. It is not like finding a hidden chest, only to discover 10c and a piece of gray junk gear. No, each box has been like the big, sparkly golden chest that appears after a 45 minute boss battle. No need or greed necessary. It’s allll yours! Or in the case of my husband, it’s all mine but I’m generous.The Cost: $13.37/month
What You Get: A box full of unique, interesting and fun gamer geek l00t catered to a new theme each month with occasional awesome T-shirts included. Always worth at least $40.
Funko POP! Groot Exclusive– This is Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy! If you haven’t seen that movie, you need to. It was SO good! I loved Groot and when I heard he was going to be appearing in my Loot Crate I was really excited! Even better, this is an exclusive Glow-in-the-Dark Groot that you can’t get anywhere else!!
If you are really into bobbleheads, Funko and Guardians of the Galaxy, you can collect all six and have a complete set! I’m not sure what the armor bonus is for that but it definitely includes a +10 to awesomeness.
Value: A lot. It’s becoming a cult favorite and if you want this one, you can’t get it unless someone with a Loot Crate doesn’t want theirs!
Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic Breeze Air Freshener– Apparently there is an assortment of these. I got Breeze, a “fresh, floral scent reminiscent of a breeze in the video game’s Green Hill Zone.” There’s also Mega Man (cool rush) and Proto (apple cinnamon). I haven’t used an air freshener in years but this is tempting.
Value: $5
Shwings Shoe Accessories– If you like The Flash, you can now have shoes that match! Tie on your Shwings and rock out with your Bolts out. Be safe.
Value: $8.95
Heroes Loot Crate Mini Mag Issue 13– Each month Loot Crate issues a mini-mag with interviews, articles, puzzles and all the information you might want about what is in your Loot Crate. It’s a fun read. Just put them in the bathroom if you don’t have time…
Value: Super Special
TMNT Mask Glasses– If you know who the purple bandana belongs to, you belong in a special group of people. The ones that grew up in the awesomeness that was the 80’s. Donatello is the smart one and he uses the bo staff! I haven’t seen the new movie yet but I will. I just have this horror of ruining the gloriousness with which my mind remembers the original movies. That was a little slice of heaven for me.
Okay, and a slice a pizza or two. Cowabunga, dude!
Value: $9.99
TMNT KidRobot Full Action Figure– I am so happy to have gotten Leonardo! He is my favorite Ninja Turtle and when I was 11 I wanted to marry him. I cried in the movie when he got hurt. I have fond memories of my Ninja Turtle days. And, of course, while the bo was super awesome, two swords (ninjato) are even better.
Value: $9.99
Chimichang’Os Magnet– Chimichang’O’s are apparently Deadpool’s favorite food. I hope they keep including magnets because I would love to cover my fridge in Loot Crate magnet ridiculaise.
Bonus Digital Loot– This is a set of codes for unlocking 11 Doctors, Rose Tyler, and Clara in the Doctor Who Legacy app from the Apple App Store. There is also a code for a full game called Defense Grid: The Awakening (available via Steam) and a code for an in-game helm trophy of the Wyrm Slayer for Gauntlet.
Value: $9.99+
Random Other Goodies– Because this is our third (or is it fourth) month, we are now considered Official Looters! I have no idea what that means but I now have a card to prove it! And of course, the requisite pin for August. I’ll attach it to my growing collection on my PAX lanyard.
VERDICT: This box totally took me back in time. I loved it extra just because of that. While there wasn’t a T-shirt this month, the collectibles are stellar and I really like them. Woohoo! Desk art!
Anyway, this is one of the most fun gamer subscription boxes out there. I love the connections they have with Marvel and how they can get exclusive goodies by companies like Funko as well. Monetarily, this is also totally tubular, dude! Worth the $13.37 plus shipping for sure!!
