Loot Crate Review May 2015

There's always a great feeling when forces unite.  Loot Crate acknowledges some of the best teams in media with May's theme, Unite.

 Loot Crate Magazine Volume 22 ~ Inside this issue Ash Mahtani discusses the greatest comic teams and Boom! Studios gets interviewed.

 Loot Crate Collectible Pin ~ I believe there were two pin designs this month.  One is DC based and the other is Marvel based.  

 Avengers: Age of Ultron Car Decal ~ There are several Avengers items in this box.  It's only fitting because the Avengers: Age of Ultron released this month and they are the team of the moment.  I'm sure this will end up on a computer or tablet.

 Team Fortress 2 Button Set ~ Computer gamers are sure to love these!  My son just got a Steam account, so he'll have to check out Team Fortress 2.  These pins will help you show off your TF2 fandom.  I really like Balloonicorn!

 Bravest Warriors Tales from the Holo John #1 ~ This should be an entertaining read with 5 stories inside.  Loot Crate snagged another variant cover.  Do they have awesome connections, or what?

 Exclusive MAD Magazine Loot Crate Edition ~ Poor Alfred can't even begin to compare to Jason Momoa!  This edition of MAD has exclusive content just for Looters.

 Marvel Sneaker Laces ~ Ryker got the colorful laces.  They're 48" long and look great because they are covered in heroes.

 Rick and Morty Jigsaw Puzzle ~ Even though Ryker has never seen this show, he can still enjoy the puzzle.  It's 300 pieces and features a plethora of characters.

 Marvel Ice Cube Tray ~ This is a silicone ice tray.  It makes 8 ice cubes based on Marvel characters and icons.  The molds can also be used for candy!

 Green Ranger T-Shirt ~ This is another Loot Crate exclusive.  It's actually Power Rangers branded.    This shirt definitely fits in with the 'Unite' theme!

This was a pretty fun box for my son.  He's looking forward to putting the puzzle together and making ice!  

Nerd Block Review August 2014

My son is so happy with his Nerd Block yet again this month!  He finally got his first Pop! Vinyl figure and absolutely loves his shirt.  Nerd Block ships from Canada for $19.99, plus shipping.  

Nerd Block Review April 2014

Could Nerd Block be excited about next month's release of The Amazing Spiderman 2?  The t-shirt design for this month's box is a bright, fun print.  My son also really liked the Kre-o Transformers.

 Transformers Kreons ($13.99) ~ There are 5 Kreons in this package by Kre-o.  The super collection includes Bumblebee, Red Alert, Mirage, Autobot Jazz, and a mystery figure.  They even come with weapons!

 T-Shirt ($10) ~ Yum!  Nothing sounds more delicious than Spider Bites!  This is a fun shirt that is very colorful and bright.  Great for any cereal-loving super hero fan!  I believe these shirts come from ShirtPunch.

Avengers Grab Zags ($3.25) ~ Oh my Norse god!  My son's surprise toy was a Thor mini skateboard.  No complaints from this mom!  

Bravest Warriors Danny Vasquez Bendie Figure ($8.36) ~ Danny stands 5" tall, eyebrows and all. He is bendable and holds his shape.  

Rabbids Travel in Time ~ This is a Raving Rabbid from the medieval time period.  She is one of eight collectible figurines.  

Predator Scalers by Neca ($9.90) ~ How unique is this item!  Instead of a traditional figurine, Neca has created an awesome line of figures that "scale" random cords.  They can be attached to any type of basic cord, from microphones to ear buds.  My son got the Jungle Hunter from Predator.

April's Nerd Block was absolutely worth the $19.99 (plus s&h)!  Hopefully our weather will stay warm enough to enjoy the t-shirt!  The prices I listed were found on Amazon and are not absolute.

Loot Crate Review ~ February 2014

We got new loot!  Let's check out the February 2014 Loot Crate.  If it isn't obvious by my daughter's picture, this month's theme is Warriors.  Doesn't she look tough?

Loot Crate includes a mini magazine in every box.  This little beauty is 21 pages of information critical for carrying on nerd-like conversations!  This is the best piece of informative writing I've seen in all of my subscription boxes.  Each item in the box gets its own page with a detailed description.  Kudos to the writers of Team Loot Crate!

Warriors Collectible Pin ~ Pictured is Loot Crate's second Collectible Badge.  Artist Mike Vasquez (@MikeGoesGeek) created this exclusive image of Catbug wearing a Loot Crate.  This boxed-in "Bravest Warriors" pic sums up the great collaborative efforts of Frederator Studios and Loot Crate.

Alpha Battle T-Shirt ~ This is a Shirt Woot product by James Cho.  It features some of the most epic gaming warriors out there!  I would love to see these shirts offered in youth sizes.  In this month's Wall of Looters spread, 45% of the pictures are of kids.  Send them shirts in their sizes!!  True to size, nice fit.

Bravest Warriors Bow Tie ~ This is a Loot Crate Exclusive brought to you by Black Tie Geek and Frederator.  We received the Impossibear bow tie.  Bow ties are trending items!

Gas Powered Stick (GPS) Cinch Bag ~ It's just a picture of a stick.  Please do not hit others with it. Instead, try putting something in this snazzy bag - like peaches or loot!

Dunny Sideshow Blind Box Figure ~ This is kind of like a small piece of 3-D art.  I believe we got the Selfish Fisherman by artist Sergio Mancini.  You can find out more about the artist and product series at www.kidrobot.com  I see lots of posts saying how much people love blind boxes.  I have just come to the realization that subscription boxes are large blind boxes!

Bacon Love Card & Open Me Membership ~ Bacon - it is the epitome of love; it is the breakfast of warriors.  Can't find the right words?  Say it with bacon!  This is a very cute card to send to a loved one.  Plus I got a free Open Me membership.  Now I can brighten my friends' Facebook pages with unlimited e-cards from Open Me.

Bravest Warriors Digital Comic ~ Inside the box was a card with a code for a free digital comic.  I created an account with Comixology and redeemed my code for a digital copy of Bravest Warriors Issue 1, published by kaboom!  

Bravest Warriors Sticker ~ These limited edition stickers were specially printed for Looters by Just Toys Int. and Frederator.  I think we got a Firebelly Guard.  If I had a bioluminescent belly, I'd be mmm, comfy in a Japanese lantern!  

Even though I purchased this box for my son, I think my daughter enjoyed it more!  No one messes with this little warrior!  This month's verdict: shirt + warriors + bacon + bow tie = Loot Love!
