Loot Crate for June 2014 Review

Hey guys! Ono here.  It’s my turn to share something I’m excited about.  Bon and I did some research on a subscription box that I wanted to get and decided to subscribe to Loot Crate.  Once we found out this month’s theme was Transformers we couldn’t sign up fast enough.  My excitement skyrocketed!!  Loot Crate’s monthly subscriptions are $13.37 a month plus around $6 in shipping and handling.  But if you decide to commit for 3 months or 6 months, you would get a discounted rate of $12.37 a month or $11.67 a month respectively. 

Loot Crate had said that this month’s subscription included an exclusive mash up shirt which of course got my blood pumping.  I told myself even if the other stuff was just ok, the shirt itself would be well worth it.  Oh, my anxiety was at its peak.  The moment Bon told me they emailed us a tracking number, I reverted back to a little kid wanting to sit outside on the porch waiting for the mail man to arrive.  About 3 days after the email arrived, my box came to my doorstep.

It’s here!!!

First thing I had to look at was the shirt.  Got to admit, it’s pretty awesome.  It’s a mash up of Transformers and Back to the Future.  It is a red graphic tee with a Delorian Transformer.  Kinda geeky, all awesome!!!  The only problem was that I got a size too big but knowing my laundry habits I’ll end up shrinking it to fit anyways.

The second item I picked up was the Action Vinyl.  It’s a blind box where you have a chance to get one of a dozen different transformers at random.  I crossed my fingers for a decepticon, hoping for, at most, classic Megatron from the cartoons I used to watch when I was a kid.  I ended up with Soundwave which is still legit.  A friend of mine got Megatron so I’m going to see if he’s willing to make a trade. 

Next item in the box was the hex bug.  I’m not too familiar with hex bugs but I ended up with the Autobot Drift model.  Maybe I’ll take some time to learn more about them and see about collecting some others.

The next item I pulled out was an MLG wrist sweatband.  MLG, which stands for Major League Gaming, is a new sponsor/partner of Loot Crate.  From what I’ve researched on them, they hold tournaments for professional gamers and is very well known. 

The final set of items in the box were a hodgepodge of little things.  My favorite of the bunch was the autobots sticker which I will be placing somewhere loud and proud, either on my laptop or somewhere on my car. The other items were a Loot Crate brochure, the monthly Loot Crate theme pin, a set of MLG team stickers, a one month premium access of Gamebattles, and some warheard candy, which I am enjoying while I type this entry. 

Overall, I am very pleased with my first loot crate.  For the price, this box is well worth the investment and can’t wait to receive my next one.  I’m very anxious what the next theme will be because they just announced the next box will have another shirt!  If you’re interested in ordering a box don’t hesitate, order at Lootcrate.com  and don’t miss out on all the awesomeness!
