Unboxing January’s Crate: Discover

This month’s Loot Crate theme, Discover, brought together some big franchises. Harry Potter, Westworld, X-Files, and Rick and Morty were packed into the latest crate. Lately the crates have been pretty hit or miss for myself and most fans of LC. For this one, as much as I’m a fan of the franchises, this crate was a miss and has me questioning whether or not I should continue with my subscription.

This month’s shirt featured an awesome Rick and Morty design. As much as I dug it, I’m not a fan of white T-shirts. But beyond that, it’s a great shirt that stands toe-to-toe with any fans can pick up at any big box store.

Next in the crate were two Westworld exclusives. The first item was the second LC SuperEmoScenes Diorama. These are pretty fun if you’re a fan of the JSalvador line of SuperEmoFriends prints. These dioramas bring those to life in a fun way. The second item was a Westworld Maze pin. Always a big fan of the Loot Crate pins.

Up next was a pair of exclusive Harry Potter socks. Loot Crates loves to add socks to their crates, which has led to my sock addiction. This pair of socks features the sorting hat and each houses animal emblems.

Finally, Looter’s received a new X-Files card game from IDW. The two player game comes in an “FBI style wallet” and “includes replicas of Mulder and Scully’s ID cards to use as player avatars.”

Inside this month’s crate:

-Rick and Morty T-shirt (Cartoon Network)

-Westworld SuperEmoFriends Diorama (Loot Crate)

-Harry Potter Sorting Hat Socks (HYP Hosiery)

-Westworld Maze Pin (Loot Crate)

-X-Files Card Game (IDW)

Unboxing April's Loot Crate: Quest

This month's Loot Crate theme was "Quest." When they revealed the theme and what franchises would be included (Labyrinth, Vikings, Harry Potter, and Uncharted) I immediately knew that this box wasn't going to be for me. I've never seen Vikings, but I do like the other franchises. But going by other subscription boxes with the same theme, I have not had much luck. This one was no exception.

The first item in the box was an exclusive Labyrinth T-Shirt. I dig the movie and the picture looks awesome, but for some reason it doesn't work for me on a T-Shirt. I would have loved to have had it as a poster instead. The other clothing item in the box was a pair of Harry Potter socks featuring Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Next up was an exclusive Vikings drinking horn. It's a great looking piece, but it's not anything I'll ever actually use. Also inside were an Uncharted 4 poster, a D20 ice mold, and a "Quest" pin. I've loved the last few Loot Crate boxes, but this one just didn't do it for me. I think the items inside far exceed the price of the box, but none of it was anything I really took to. Fortunately, I've got friends who will love them.

Inside this month's box:

-Harry Potter Socks (Hyp Hosiery)
-Labyrinth T-Shirt (Ripple Junction)
-D20 Ice Mold (Loot Crate Labs)
-Uncharted 4 Poster (Sony PlayStation)
-Quest Pin (Loot Crate Labs)
-Vikings Drinking Horn (Chronicle Collectibles)

Box opens up into a maze!

Unboxing January's Nerd Block Classic

Nerd Block was having a sweet 50% off promotion for their January box, so I had to order one! This is my first ever Nerd Block box. It has always interested me, but the high shipping cost puts it it at $30.00/month. That's a bit pricey considering that there are so many great boxes for roughly $10.00 cheaper per month. That being said, the swag in this month's box was pretty sweet; especially for the $20.00 I paid after the promotional discount.

The first thing I noticed opening up the box was the 6" Daenerys Targaryen Funko Legacy figure. I dig Game of Thrones and don't have any of the figures, so this was pretty awesome. There were a total of 6 different figures randomly inserted into boxes. The next thing I noticed was the exclusive Neverending Story notebook. This thing is sweet! It's a thick book filled with blank pages that you can use for anything you want; stories, notes, sketches, etc. The next item I pulled out was an 'Unreal Estate 4: Concerning Hobbits' print by Nakatomi Inc. artist Tim Doyle. This is definitely one for the wall.

The last three items were all Harry Potter themed. First was a pretty slick looking keychain of the Hogwarts School crest. Next was a very very cool film cell bookmark. The film cell I got had a scene between Harry and Voldemort squaring off face-to-face. The last item in this month's box was an awesome ShirtPunch 'Deathly Hallows' T-Shirt. This was a very solid box, and if it weren't for the high cost of shipping, I'd probably be sticking with this box. Unfortunately, I think this was a one-time purchase.

Inside this month's box:

- 6" Daenerys Targaryen 6" Funko Legacy Figure (1 of 6)
- Exclusive Neverending Story Notebook
- Unreal Estate 4:Concerning Hobbits Print by Tim Doyle
- Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Crest Keychain
- ShirtPunch 'Deathly Hallows' T-Shirt
- Harry Potter Film Cell Bookmark
