May LootCrate Review

Until recently, J didn't seem to understand my obsession with subscription boxes.  Last month, I signed him up for 3 months of LootCrate so that he'd get mail on occasion too.  (He even started asking last week about when it would come in. He's slowly getting the bug too.)

LootCrate is $13.37 plus s&h and they send 6-8 items that appeal to your inner geek and gamer.  This month's box had the theme of "It's dangerous to go alone!"

This is the first time, ever, that J got mail and I didn't.  I had to fight him to get pictures taken - he wanted to closely evaluate everything immediately. (Yeah. He's 26 going on 5.)

Official Looter Membership Card- Last month was J's first month, but he got his LootCrate membership card this month.  It's a pretty cool extra touch.  LootCrate says that there will be ways to redeem the affiliation soon. 

Inanimate Character Stickers: ($2) He and I both love random things like this.  I'm obsessed with Vandal-Eyes so these stickers are amazing. Of course, everything Fred & Friends makes is awesome.  

Don't Panic Towel: These appear to be custom printed, so I don't entirely know how to price it, but I'll say $5+.  This is a light weight, promo type towel, so it's not ideal for use but it's still a fun item.  Besides, Towel Day is May 25.

Pure Nintendo Subscription: ($10) I bought a Wii in college, but neither of us have used it much after we got our Xbox.  J has a friend with a WiiU who is in love with Nintendo, so he might pass this on to him.

Ninja Cord Wrap: ($1) This little ninja bunny is adorable.  I don't know if J will  use him, but if he doesn't I'll steal him and make him a magnet.

Iron Man 3 Papercraft: Since you can download these for free, I'm not putting a value on it, but I think it was a neat addition to the box.

Super Mario Coin Candies: ($2) I love the little container.  J hasn't eaten any of the candy yet, so I don't know if it's tasty or not but...seriously. The container.

Batman Figurine: (~$8?)  I can't find this exact figure anywhere online.  Others from the series are anywhere from $4-$10, so I'll go with $8.

8 Bit Bow Tie - ($12?)  J doesn't wear bow ties all that often, so I might slide the bow off and bobby pin it into my hair. :)

Verdict: J thought this month was better than last month. The good and bad thing about LootCrate is that the stuff they send isn't easy to find. It's good in that you probably wouldn't have been introduced to it any other way, bad in that I can't find a value for anything.  Even so, the value is probably worth as much as or more than the cost of the box, so I can't complain.
