Unboxing September's Loot Crate and Loot Wear: Speed

This month, Loot Crate came hard and fast with their theme, "Speed." When they revealed their theme, I was genuinely excited for all of the franchises they brought together; Iron Man, Batman, Arrow, The Flash, Battlestar Galactica, and Gone in 60 Seconds. As big of a fan of Nic Cage as I am, I have to admit that I was dissapointed that 'Speed' wasn't included. It's an obvious choice, right? How cool would a replica of the bus or a cheap gold watch have been? Still, September brought us an awesome box!

First up was an awesome exclusive Stark Racing T-Shirt from Marvel. I'm a huge fan of the MCU and this shirt is hands down their best shirt of the year (so far). Next, we got yet another cool pin, this time it was a 'Loot Year' tire. Each pin comes with bonus digital content and this month's was from Comixology. It was a collection of Velocity comics: 'Pilot Season: Velocity #1' and 'Velocity #1-4'

We got not one, not two, but THREE replicas in the box this month! The first was a "Scar" vinyl replica from Battlestar Galactica. This thing is sooo cool and found its place on my shelf immediately. The second replica was an exclusive Batwing keychain that was designed "using references from the Warner Bros. archives." Last, but certainly not least, was a die-cast replica of "Eleanor" from 'Gone in 60 Seconds.' The 1967 Ford Mustang GT500 that Nicolas Cage drove in the remake has rubber wheels and opening doors and hood!

The final item in the box was actually really cool and clever. Looters either got an Arrow or Flash ornament-style figure! My crate came with a Flash hood ornament that is made of plastic and comes with a magnet on the bottom so you can stick on your car (or any metal surface). This was a fun piece, which actually went to my cousin because he's a HUGE fan of The Flash. The box, also went to my cousin so he could display his hood ornament on it. Why? Because the box transforms into a freakin' car! Yup, you can flip the box inside out and turn it into a car that you can set your hood ornament on. It's a fun concept and just as cool as last month's Harley Hammer box.

This month for the Loot Wear I went with the men's version. As soon as they said it would be a Transformers soccer jersey, I was all in! I love the Transformers so I couldn't pass this up for the $14.99 price. The jersey itself was amazing, with an embroidered Autobot patch on the front and 'Autobots' printed across the chest. Totally happy with the it and for me, it's worth double the price. Unfortunately, the white jersey arrived with some stains on it; I haven't washed it yet, but I hope they come out.
