Unboxing December's Loot Crate: Galaxy

Loot Crate finished 2015 strong and fucking killed it with their December box. When they announced that the theme would be 'Galaxy,' it was pretty obvious that Star Wars would be involved. When they announced that there would be an exclusive POP! included, it was already a win for me. When I finally received my crate, I was definitely one happy Looter.

This crate gave us TWO exclusive Star Wars items this month- a pair of BB-8 crew socks and an Episode VII Han Solo (Snow Gear) Funko POP! vinyl bobble-head! The exclusives didn't stop there, because we also got a Halo 5 tin box, an Ugly Holiday Sweater T-Shirt, and an authentic Galaxy Quest prop replica patch. Rounding out the box were a metallic gold Loot Crate button, a copy of LC Magazine and a Halo 5: Guardians REQ Pack DLC.

Inside this month's box:

- Loot Crate 'Galaxy' Button (Loot Crate Labs)
- Star Wars Han Solo (Snow Gear) Funko POP! Figure (Funko)
