Loot Crate Review and Giveaway

A few months ago, I discovered a super cool service called Loot Crate. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a subscription service that sends you cool geeky stuff every month, from collectables to clothes.

I was curious about it, and emailed them about sending me a sample, which they did. Unfortunately, I was a lazy bum, and between travelling to Evo and attending weddings and bachelor parties, I didn’t get around to reviewing it until now.

I’m also giving away one month’s subscription to Loot Crate as a freebie to you geeks. Skip to the bottom of this post if you wanna know how to enter the draw.

So, here’s a list of the cool gear they sent me in May, which has been locked in a box until today.

Loot Crate Theme: Adventure!

Every month, the Loot Crate comes with a specific theme. The month of May 2014: Adventure!

Before I begin, I’d like to give a brief tip of the hat to their packaging. Somehow, they managed to fit a ton of crazy stuff inside a box that’s barely bigger than a book. Truly a box of containment, if ever there were one. It also comes with a Konami code at the bottom of it. Extra points from me.

The first thing I did was pop in the CD that came with it, entitled “The Friend Zone” Soundtrack.

I thought it was hilariously appropriate, considering the subject matter of this site. I’ll admit though, I was a bit worried it would sound like some cheezy pop from hell. Imagine my surprise and happiness to discover it’s actually pretty good bitpop. I looked up the CD on Amazon, and found it actually retails for $8.99. Pretty sweet.

Next up, the Legend of Zelda T-Shirt.

It’s extremely well-printed on a high quality cotton tee. I wore it for a day, and washed it, and it still looks pristine (albeit a bit wrinkled, but that’s my fault). It also fits very well, and is totally something I’d rock with a blazer at a club. Really happy with this one.

Some people like saving the best for last. I say fuck that. This next one is by far the coolest item I’ve ever seen. At first glance, I thought it was a Magneto helmet of some sort. I flipped it right side up, and the truth was revealed.

It’s a keychain bottle opener with the original Zelda store printed on! Incredible. The number of times I’m going to use this over a Montreal summer is ridiculous. Hell, I’m going to a picnic this Sunday, and I guarantee I’ll be opening everyone’s beer. Worth the price of the crate for this item alone.

Next I looked at the blind box collectables.

The first one was from Minecraft, which I’ll admit, I know nothing about. I opened it up and found… a pickaxe! It’s… awesome? I don’t know.

The second box was from everyone’s favorite freaky cartoon, Adventure Time! The box itself is humongous, and made of tin, so super useful for later. Guess who I found inside?

BMO!!!! What a happy guy.

Finally, I looked at the stickers and tattoos. I’m not a fan of this kind of gear, but I figured some of you might be, so I took a picture. Enjoy!
