Loot Crate - August, 2016 - Anti-Hero

Hey, everyone! It’s almost October and I just received my August Loot Crate! Yes, you read that right - “August”. While Americans have already received their September Loot Crates, we up here in the Great White North are finally getting a partial reprieve from our tears shed after having the Anti-Hero items rubbed in our faces online. You’re probably wondering why it’s taken so long for us in Canada to get our Crates. Well, we have something called “Canada Post” and they hate us. All of us. They enjoy making us wait ridiculous amounts of time for everything and are powered by tears, especially those of children. Damn you, Canada Post. Damn you to Heeeeeelllllllllllll!!!

Oh, and here’s a video showing me unboxing my Crate:

And, here’s a photo of everything together, marking the true beginning of this blog entry:

For those of you who aren’t familiar of Loot Crate, it’s a monthly subscription box that caters to "nerds" and "geeks". Each month, subscribers get a themed box of 4 to 8 items. There are several different subscription options you can choose from. Here's a breakdown with shipping to Canada included:

1 Month Plan - $29.95 USD / $41.00 CAD per month

3 Month Plan - $84.00 USD / $114.00 CAD per 3 months

6 Month Plan - $162.00 USD / $219.00 CAD per 6 months

1 Year Plan - $312.00 / $423.00 CAD per year (includes Bonus T-Shirt)

As some of you who have read this blog in the past have probably noticed, the cost for this program has gone up significantly for Canadians, due in part to our weak dollar at the moment. Regardless of the reason, this hurts. One can only hope the items are still worth the price tag.

AUGUST, 2016 - ANTI-HERO

When I received my Crate, I had waited so long for it that I had honestly forgotten what the theme was. Before making the unboxing video, I actually had to Google it! I also have no memory of what I felt when I first heard about the theme back in July. So, I’m just going to jump right into listing the items in the box with approximate Canadian pricing noted:

- Loot Crate Mini Magazine ($2.50 CAD)

- Loot Crate Theme Pin ($2.50 CAD)

- Archer T-Shirt ($18.00 CAD)

- Hellboy Money Bank ($20.00 CAD)

- Kill Bill Socks ($10.00 CAD)

- Harley Quinn Q-Fig ($20.00 CAD)

Loot Crate Custom Box

This is by far one of the best custom box designs I’ve seen from Loot Crate. I love how much fun it is! Plus, look how badass it makes me look! :p

Loot Crate Mini Magazine

This month’s magazine is packed with great articles, like “What’s the deal with Hellboy’s Hand?”, “History of Harley Quinn”, and “Favorite Running Gags From Archer”. There’s even a recipe!

Loot Crate Theme Pin

I used to play “World of Warcraft” quite a bit, but have been away from it for a long time. Still, I appreciate this month’s pin and am in awe at how detailed it is.

Archer T-Shirt

This is a very appropriate t-shirt since it’s the US Presidential Election this year. As a fan of “Archer”, I love the design.

Hellboy Money Bank

This Loot Crate Exclusive is fantastic! Detailed, sturdy, great for displaying on a shelf, and perfect for saving money to take Jess on a trip to Europe. I have lots of love for this piggy bank!

Kill Bill Socks

I wear colourful socks almost every day. What’s better than colourful socks? Colourful socks featuring nerdy things that I love. These “Kill Bill” socks are going to be on my feet over and over again.

Harley Quinn Q-Fig

This is by far the best Q-Fig I’ve seen. Harley’s pose is quite fitting. The details are off the charts. The paint job is nearly perfect. I can’t wait for people to see this little statue on my bookshelf. This is definitely my favourite item in this Crate.

OVERVIEW

Loot Crate has done it again! Phenomenal items, amazing value, fantastic theming, and top marks in the fun department make this one of the best boxes they’ve ever put together. It makes me incredibly excited for the September Crate, which will hopefully arrive soon.
