August Loot Crate Review

The box- no more graphics that make the pics look wonky!

The schtuff!

Info Booklet

Loot Crate has a new info booklet (as opposed to a card). I hope it keeps up cause it's awesome. I'll post every page sometime but there is a page for each product, a featured loot photo, a pic of the mega crate winnings, contest, greeting, and even a wordfind puzzle! 

Shirt.Woot! Caffeine Power Up Shirt + Coupon: The featured item this month was a new T-Shirt. I shouldn't say the "featured" item but it is a big deal when Loot Crates includes shirts. And a shirt from Woot!- well, that's icing on the cake... get it- haha. The point is that CJ loves Shirt Woot!- he has a ton of shirts from them- a TON. And he loved this one too! It also came with $5 off on Shirt Woot! CJ bought a mystery set with it- something like 5 mystery tees. I think he's wearing one now! Price: $15 + $5

Crowded Coop and Valve- Aperture Labs Temp Tattoo: I can't imagine either of us using this but I still like the inclusion. I bet a lot of people have this as a real tattoo. I actually saw someone with this as a bumper sticker the other day. Anyway, it's a nice start to the theme! Price: ~$2

Crowded Coop and Valve- Aperture Labs Test Subject Wristband: Another Portal item! Full disclosure- I don't play Portal. *Gasp* But I still love it. You say, "Whaaat??!" Maybe it's youngest child syndrome but I grew up watching video games not playing them and I still only play randomly. I watch CJ play though- all the time. At least the fun games like Portal. AND I totally rock on their theme song on Rock Band, "Still Alive." The Cake is a Lie, everyone, the cake is a lie. Price: $9.99

Crowded Coop and Valve- Aperture Laboratories Lanyard: Umm, I think I just deleted the pic of the lanyard and am way to lazy to get it and re-take! Anyway, another Portal product. I think CJ is using this for a work key or something in his car. I don't know. I know he's proud enough to sport it around. Price: $2.99

Loot Crate Labs- Loot Crate Sticker Set: An awesome Portal tie-in. They even had a contest to win a 3-month sub by putting these up super creatively. I'd love to just portal here to there anytime too! CJ hasn't picked a spot for these yet but he will. He loves Loot Crate and Portal! Price: ~$2

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans: A little extra to munch on. Mmm Jelly Beans. Price: $0.39

Funko and AMC- Walking Dead Mystery Mini: Gah, I love Funko! They make the coolest figurines!! I was very excited to get Daryl! I've still only seen people get him or zombies and I guess the zombies would have been ok but Daryl is much cooler. We've only actually made it a few episodes into the first season... We're bad, we know. We didn't have cable and then we just didn't get around to it when it started being on Netflix and now... I've read the whole comic series. Problem? Well, the comics and show are very different. Daryl isn't even in the books. That being said, I DO really like his character on the show- I'll always love Reedus (since Boondock Saints) so I'm sold on him doing anything. This figure looks awesome in the office btw! Price: $6.99

Verdict: This box contained an estimated $44.36 in goods! The t-shirt and code alone paid the pricetag for the box. The Walking Dead figure is a nice addition to our collection, we love the Portal stuff, and CJ loves the shirt. All wins. Awesome. Very excited for this month's Animate crate- I'm looking for Adventure Time, Simpsons, and Futurama stuff! Love Loot Crate!
