WWE Slam Crate - October, 2016

What's up, everyone? Mike here, and I am a huge fan of the WWE, so when Loot Crate announced that they were teaming up with them, I was hyped! Fast forward to today and I am so excited to be unboxing and reviewing the WWE Slam Crate. Check out the video!

Should I have done a Macho Man impression instead? Oh, man. Now, I wish I had a Slim Jim in the video! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. Now, let's get to the written stuff. ;)

In case some of you haven't heard of Loot Crate, it’s a monthly subscription box that caters to "nerds" and "geeks". Each month, subscribers get a box of items that match the announced theme. WWE Slam Crate is a bi-monthly Loot Crate "spin off" that caters to fans of pro wrestling. Like its parent program, WWE Slam Crate has different subscription options. Here's a breakdown with shipping to Canada included:

1 Crate Every Other Month - $59.00 CAD per crate

3 Crates Over 6 Months - $172.00 CAD every 6 months

6 Crates Over 1 Year - $335.00 CAD per year

Okay, so the program looks expensive, but it's expected due to the weak Canadian dollar compared to the US dollar, plus the shipping. One can only hope the items are still worth the price tag.

OCTOBER, 2016

One of the things that Loot Crate is well known for is having themes for their boxes. For example, the October theme was "Horror" and there were some incredible items from movie franchises like "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Friday the 13th". What I found interesting was that for the first WWE Slam Crate, there was no theme announced. But, if you think about it for just a second, "WWE" is a theme itself. I honestly don't feel that themes are needed, although I do expect something special for Wrestlemania and Summer Slam. Anyway, I'm okay with there being no theme.

Now, let's move on to the items themselves. Here's a list of what I received, along with approximate Canadian prices:

- Shinsuke Nakamura Poster ($5.00 CAD)

- Austin Aries Trading Card ($0.75 CAD)

- NXT Patch ($5.00 CAD)

- Mitch the Plant ($8.00 CAD)

- Dean Ambrose Belt Buckle ($15.00 CAD)

- Sasha Banks Shades ($12.00 CAD)

- Enzo and Cass T-Shirt ($35.00 CAD)

- The New Day Vinyl Figure ($18.00 CAD)

WWE Slam Crate Custom Box

Like all Loot Crate boxes, the Slam Crate box has a custom design on the inside. As would be expected, there's a wrestling ring and some WWE Superstars. Since this is the first Slam Crate, there are also the words "The First" in front of The New Day. The overall design is pretty cool, but nothing special. It's not a criticism, though. I didn't expect anything else.

Shinsuke Nakamura Poster

Following in the footsteps of Loot Anime, WWE Slam Crate has a poster instead of the mini magazine found in the standard Loot Crate. What impresses me is that on the back of this awesome Shinsuke Nakamura poster is an article about Xavier Woods! I wasn't expecting anything outside of photos and descriptions of the items in the box. Having an article adds so much to this poster and I really appreciate it.

Austin Aries Trading Card

I had no idea Topps still made WWE trading cards, but it's still pretty cool getting one featuring Austin Aries. Still, I have no need for a trading card, so it's time for the first ever

In Box with Mike & Jess Giveaway!!!

On Saturday, November 19th, 2016, NXT Takeover will be in Toronto, and Jess and I are going to be there! The first person who is going to the show and comments on the YouTube video above about wanting the card gets it!

(Arrangements for meeting up at the show will then be discussed via private message.)

NXT Patch

Continuing with the NXT goodness is this sweet patch. I still haven't actually done anything with the various patches I've received from Loot Crate, but I still love'em all. This NXT one is right up there as one of my faves.

Mitch the Plant

I can't even begin to properly describe how ridiculously amazing this item is! Yes, it's Mitch the Plant. Yes, you grow a plant in that pot. Yes, I'm going to grow the plant. This is awesome! Clap clap clapclapclap! This is awesome! Clap clap clapclapclap!

Deam Ambrose Belt Buckle

This belt buckle is crazy cool and insanely well made. I will be rockin' it for sure!

Sasha Banks Shades

Ah, finally some representation for the women of the WWE, and what a fitting item to do that in the first ever Slam Crate. Sasha Banks is a big deal these days and one of the top female wrestlers right now. I can't think of a better item than her iconic shades to include in this box.

Enzo and Cass T-Shirt

I love this shirt's design. It's just so... Enzo and Cass! I have to note, though, that unlike the softer, stretchier t-shirts used in the standard Loot Crate, this shirt is the same kind of shirt used by WWE's official shop. It's thicker and has less give. But, hey, if you're used to wearing WWE's shirts, you'll be a-okay with this.

The New Day Vinyl Figure

It's the New Day, yes it is! And, they're riding a unicorn that's wearing Chucks and shades. NICE! I love this figure, but I also have a couple of issues with it. First, the tops that Kofi, Xavier, and Big E are wearing are very plain. I feel that adding the New Day logo on their fronts would have made a huge difference in making the figure look less bland. Secondly... Well... The faces are a little odd. Here, have a look.

I get that the designer was going for a cute, cartoony look, but the end result is a little on the creepy side. Those beady eyes are the stuff of nightmares. Still, those faces combined with the rest of the figure de-creepify things enough that I still love this figure and will definitely display it.

OVERVIEW

As far as first crates go, Loot Crate did a phenomenal job with the WWE Slam Crate. The items are all great and it's clear that a good amount of thought was put into making sure fans were satisfied. The overall value of the items definitely makes the program worth it at this time. So, will I continue my subscription? I think I will for 1 more crate to see how things go. I feel that keeping this going long term, though, will leave me with more WWE than I need.

Loot Anime - October, 2016 - Delicious

Hey, everybody! I am super excited today because I just received my Loot Anime box. Now, before you go thinking I somehow got my hands on some kind of early release November crate, I have to point out that I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Up here in the Great White North, we get our crates late. So, this entry is for the October Loot Anime box. Aw, don't feel bad for us poor Canadians. We're used to getting everything late. LOL Anyway, here's the latest unboxing and review video for my Loot Anime box.

I hope you enjoyed that. Now, it's time for the written part of this blog, and we'll begin with the usual photo of the box with everything in it. ^_~

In case some of you haven't heard of Loot Crate, it’s a monthly subscription box that caters to "nerds" and "geeks". Each month, subscribers get a box of items that match the announced theme. Loot Anime is the Japanese animation and comics spin-off version of Loot Crate. Like its parent program, Loot Anime has different subscription options. Here's a breakdown with shipping to Canada included:

1 Month Plan - $34.95 USD / $47.00 CAD per month

3 Month Plan - $101.85 USD / $138.00 CAD per 3 months

6 Month Plan - $197.70 USD / $268.00 CAD per 6 months

1 Year Plan - $383.40 / $519.00 CAD per year (includes free bonus T-Shirt)

If you've seen the pricing for Loot Crate, you will notice that Loot Anime is more expensive. Plus, the conversion to Canadian Dollars is pretty painful due to the weak dollar at the moment. One can only hope the items are still worth the price tag.

OCTOBER, 2016 - DELICIOUS

I have only ever subscribed to Loot Anime for one month and it was mainly to get an idea what it was like. So, what drew me back to it for yet another month? The theme! I love food. I post tons of food photos on Instagram. I eat a lot. (I also have to work out a lot to work off all those calories. LOL) So, when I saw the food theme for Loot Anime, I just had to subscribe and then cancel once again! So, did the box live up to my expectations? Let's find out! For starters, here's a list of items in the box with approximate Canadian prices:

- Loot Anime Poster ($3.50 CAD)

- Loot Anime Phone Charm ($4.50 CAD)

- Naruto Ramen Bowl ($10.50 CAD)

- Sweetness & Lightning #1 ($15.00 CAD)

- Food Wars! Apron ($16.00 CAD)

- Himouto! Umaru-chan Figure ($7.00 CAD)

- Gudetama Plushie ($10.00 CAD)

Loot Anime Custom Box

This Loot Anime custom box design features food and utensils, which are quite fitting for the theme. It's simple, but fun and effective.

Loot Anime Poster

Instead of getting a mini magazine like in a Loot Crate or Loot Gaming box, Loot Anime subscribers get a poster with great art on the front and item descriptions on the back. I think this girl in a dessert cafe design is wonderful and would represent me quite well if it featured a boy instead. :)

Loot Anime Phone Charm

Another place Loot Anime deviates from the standard Crate format is with this phone charm, which takes the place of the Loot Crate pin. On its own, the ice cream sundae design is already a winner. With a little metal spoon, this phone charm reaches "epic" level.

Naruto Ramen Bowl

I'm a pretty big fan of "Naruto" and this bowl is the perfect food-themed product for that series. I love the design! My only criticisms are that it can't go in the microwave or the dishwasher... WHAT?!

Sweetness & Lightning #1

It's always wonderful to receive the first issue of a comic I've never heard of. The art in "Sweetness & Lightning" looks fantastic, so I'm pretty excited to start into this manga.

Food Wars! Apron

I have never heard of "Food Wars!", but this apron is super cute and probably going to end up being used by Jess while cooking. Great item!

Himouto! Umaru-chan Figure

This adorable little collectible figure is from yet another Anime series I've never heard of. This won't stop me from displaying the figure, though. It's so cute! <3

Gudetama Plushie

Gudetama rocks my world and this little plushie is so perfect that I can't look at it for more than 3 seconds before squealing in delight like a little schoolgirl. This is by far my favourite item in this crate. Love love LOVE!

OVERVIEW

I can't compliment this Loot Anime box enough. The theming is on point, the items are fantastic, the value is great, and I can't stop hugging that Gudetama Plushie, making it very difficult to type this entry. This is what a themed nerdy Anime box should be like every single month and I can't recommend Loot Anime enough.

Loot Gaming - August, 2016 - Mecha

Hey, everyone! Mike here, and we have a brand new feature here at In Box! In our last entry, we did a video review using a GoPro and got some really good feedback. So, today, we are happy to bring you our very first video unboxing, featuring the August box from Loot Gaming!

As mentioned in the video, we are going to continue with our usual written review, so here goes!

In case some of you haven't heard of Loot Crate, it’s a monthly subscription box that caters to "nerds" and "geeks". Each month, subscribers get a box of items that match the announced theme. Loot Gaming is the video game version of Loot Crate and caters to gamers. Like its parent program, Loot Gaming has different subscription options. Here's a breakdown with shipping to Canada included:

1 Month Plan - $34.95 USD / $47.00 CAD per month

3 Month Plan - $101.85 USD / $138.00 CAD per 3 months

6 Month Plan - $197.70 USD / $268.00 CAD per 6 months

1 Year Plan - $383.40 / $519.00 CAD per year

If you've seen the pricing for Loot Crate, you will notice that Loot Gaming is more expensive. Plus, the conversion to Canadian Dollars is pretty painful, probably due to the weak dollar over here. One can only hope the items are still worth the price tag.

AUGUST, 2016 - MECHA

It's September, but I only just received my Crate. As mentioned in our previous Loot Gaming review, this program ships later than Loot Crate, so Canadians will generally not be receiving their boxes until after the intended month. I'm personally okay with that, but I can understand if some of you aren't.

Of course, at the end of the day, what matters is what items are included in the box and whether they are worth it. Let's start having a loot at that with a list of what I got:

- Loot Gaming Mini Magazine ($2.50 CAD)

- Loot Gaming Theme Pin ($2.50 CAD)

- Destiny T-Shirt ($18.00 CAD)

- LawBreakers Cap ($15.00 CAD)

- Bioshock Patch ($10.00 CAD)

- Deus Ex Figure ($18.00 CAD)

- Borderlands Bottle Opener ($15.00 CAD)

Loot Gaming Custom Box

A while back, Loot Crate started to provide a custom design inside the box every single month. Now, there are a lot of spin-off Crates, each with their own box designs as well. Eventually, a somewhat lazy design will pop up, and I feel this is one of them. This armory design does not fully fit the "Mecha" theme this month. I mean, it's still kind of cool and I can somewhat understand how this is considered "Mecha", but I feel like the designers could have come up with something better.

Loot Gaming Mini Magazine

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I love the mini magazines that Loot Crate provides. This thing is packed with content, including a great interview and an article on Transhumanism. A great read.

Loot Gaming Theme Pin

I am loving these new metal pins. This month's design features a cyborg hand. Very fitting for the theme.

Destiny T-Shirt

There was a period of 3 months a while back where I played "Destiny" exclusively. I love that game and still don't know why I stopped playing. This shirt featuring character designs from the game is really nice. Not only do I love the design, but I am also impressed with the soft, stretchy fabric of the shirt itself. This is top quality material Loot Crate is using and I appreciate it.

LawBreakers Cap

I have honestly never heard of the game "LawBreakers", so I can't tell whether it is considered "Mecha" or not. But, I like the design of this cap and will definitely wear is from time to time. Alternatively, I may give it to my best friend, who I feel this design represents quite well. LOL

Bioshock Patch

I love Bioshock and was very excited to pull this Big Daddy patch out of my Crate. The details are amazing and the large size of the patch itself really impresses. This is definitely a keeper!

Deus Ex Figure

I've only ever played one of the "Deus Ex" games for a short amount of time, but it was fun and I definitely want to give it another shot. This figure from "Mankind Divided" has a detailed chibi design that looks fantastic on display. My only complaint is that my figure seems to be leaning back just a bit. Thankfully, it still stands. I just have to be careful not to bump whatever shelf I'm putting it on too hard.

Borderlands Bottle Opener

This is by far one of the best items I've ever received from Loot Crate and Loot Gaming. I love this metal Claptrap bottle opener! It's sturdy and looks amazing. Plus, it has magnets on the back so I can stick it on my fridge. NICE!

OVERVIEW

All in all, I think this was a good Crate. It had fantastic items that were well worth the subscription cost. I do have to question the thought put into the theme, though. I'm not fully convinced that "Borderlands" and "Bioshock" can be considered "Mecha", though Claptrap is certainly a robot. Does a robotic element in a generally not-very-mecha series count? I'm not 100% sure. And, then, there's the box design. An armory is not exactly very "Mecha". Still, taken as a whole, there's more "Mecha" than not, so I feel Loot Gaming has still succeeded. And, did I mention the items are great?

We would also appreciate any advice on how to improve our videos since we're very new to this kind of thing. Thanks!

And, that's it for this entry. Stay tuned for more In Box, coming soon!

MeUndies - February, 2016

Hi! Mike here, and this is going to be a somewhat odd review. Why? Because it's going to be about underwear. No, you didn't read that wrong. I said "underwear". More specifically, MY underwear. 

Now, don't run away screaming. Give me a chance here! Last month, I was Googling comfortable underwear when I was directed to the web site of a company called "MeUndies". I liked the designs they had and decided to look up some reviews. As it turned out, their products are supposed to be some of the best on the market. Plus, they have a subscription service that sends 1 pair of underpants per month for $16.00 USD. My usual brands cost more, so I went for it.

Fast forward to a couple of days ago and here is what I got in the mail:

When I first signed up for MeUndies, I was expecting my deliveries to arrive in plastic shipping bags like the T-shirts I order from Ript Apparel or Tee Fury. What I wasn't expecting was a box. But, it was a blessing in disguise since it met the box criteria for this blog, so now I'm here reviewing it for you. LOL

Here's what I found when I opened up the box:

Ooooookay... Is that a baseball cap?! Yes, it's a baseball cap. And, it has the MeUndies logo on it. Here's a closer look:

I am definitely not going to be wearing this hat, but at least the quality is nice.

What's more shocking than getting a baseball cap with an underwear order is what was under the hat. Have a look:

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

*Cough*

Moving on. Here's what I found once I stuck my finger in the hole and pulled:

Man, all this packaging for a hat and a pair of boxer briefs. Here's what they look like in all their underwear-y glory:

I personally love the cartoony design. The material is very soft and feels like it's pretty high quality. After having worn them, I can confirm that the reviews on other sites are correct - These boxer briefs are extremely comfortable.

All in all, I'm very happy to have ordered from MeUndies and can't wait for the March pair, which will probably arrive in early April. If you're interested in buying a pair of comfortable underpants, go to www.meundies.com and see if anything suits your fancy.

And, that's it for now. Stay tuned for more In Box with Mike & Jess coming soon!

Loot Crate - May, 2015 - Unite

Heya, peeps! Mike here, and yes, I'm on time with my Loot Crate review this month! To be honest, I was starting to think I wouldn't be able to post until June since nothing had arrived yet as of Tuesday. Luckily, my box finally showed up yesterday, so here I am!

For those of you who haven't heard of Loot Crate, it is a monthly subscription box that caters towards "nerds" and "geeks". Each month, subscribers get a themed box of 6 to 8 items. What's interesting is that Loot Crate has different subscription programs. Here's a breakdown:

1 Month Plan - $19.95 USD / $29.95 CAD per month

3 Month Plan - $57.75 USD / $84.00 CAD per 3 months

6 Month Plan - $113.70 USD / $162.00 CAD per 6 months

1 Year Plan - $215.40 / $312.00 CAD per year (includes Bonus Gift)

MAY - UNITE

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is one of my favourite things ever, so when I first saw the announcement for the May theme for Loot Crate, I was ecstatic. Power Rangers and Marvel in the same box? Heck, YES! Now that I have my box, did the theme live up to my self-produced hype? Let's find out! Here's what I got:

- Loot Crate Mini Magazine ($2.50 CAD)

- Loot Crate Theme Pin ($0.75 CAD)

- Power Rangers T-Shirt ($15.00 CAD)

- Loot Crate Exclusive MAD Magazine ($5.00 CAD)

- Rick and Morty Puzzle ($5.00 CAD)

- Team Fortress 2 Buttons ($10.00 CAD)

- Bravest Warriors #1 ($4.50 CAD)

- Avengers Decal ($3.00 CAD)

- Marvel Shoe Laces ($5.00 CAD)

- Marvel Ice Tray ($12.00 CAD)

Loot Crate Custom Box

I don't think it's a surprise anymore that Looters receive a custom box. This month, we got a creative locker room design, complete with a bench you can cut out of the cover flap. Oddly enough, despite its simplicity, it's one of the better designs to date in my opinion.

Loot Crate Mini Magazine

This month's mini magazine has a so-so cover design, but a really good article inside about comic book teams. A nice, much appreciated read.

Loot Crate Theme Pin

Okay, so I've been calling this a pin every month. Do you call this a pin or a button? Bah, who cares? It's neat getting one of these every month. I just wish this particular pin had a nicer design. Props for being thematically good, though.

Power Rangers T-Shirt

Wow! What a design! I love this Tommy Oliver shirt! I'm definitely going to wear this very often.

Loot Crate Exclusive MAD Magazine

You know I love the mini magazine. Well, this exclusive MAD Magazine should start becoming a monthly perk. Awesome!

Rick and Morty Puzzle

Do you remember when Kinder Eggs used to have cool toys you could build? Do you remember the disappointment you felt when they started putting those stupid puzzles in their eggs? That's NOT how I felt when I got this... This... Um... What's a Rick and what's a Morty? See what just happened there? Loot Crate introduced me to a series I didn't know about using a cool product. Nice!

Team Fortress 2 Buttons

Now, I'm going to call these buttons. Yes, buttons. Awesome buttons. Onto the cork board they go!

Bravest Warriors #1

I love comics and I love variant covers. Loot Crate gave me both for a series I've only heard of, but never actually checked out. Sweet.

Avengers Decal

I don't use decals, but this "Avengers: Age of Ultron" decal is pretty cool.

Marvel Shoe Laces

When I first pulled these out of my box, I was only moderately excited since I don't use custom shoe laces. But, after further thought, I realized they would look awesome on my black Chucks. So, these laces get a thumbs up from me.

Marvel Ice Tray

This is easily one of the most practical items I've ever received from a subscription box. Now, I can throw Cap's shield or Hulk's fist or Thing's face into my pop. Love love love!

(It must be noted, though, that I question the logic in having 3 Avengers and then 1 Fantastic Four member represented on the tray... Wouldn't it make more sense for the 4th design to be Mjolnir? And, what's with putting Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Thor on the box when none of them are on the tray? Come on, Marvel! That's misleading!)

OVERVIEW

Honestly, this month's Loot Crate was one of the worse I've received. Sure, the theming was good and lots of series / brands were represented, but the combination of items just didn't do it for me. Put another way, I would be happy to receive each and every one of these items, but just with other stuff.

Next month, the theme is going to be CYBER. That, to me, sounds extremely dirty... But, hey, we all know they're talking about "Transformers" and other tech-y stuff, right? Right?

Loot Crate - March, 2015 - Covert

Hey, hey! Mike here, and this month, my Loot Crate showed up much earlier than usual! In fact, I got my shipping notification in my inbox after my box showed up! Wow! Admittedly, despite the quick shipping, I'm not as big a fan of spy stuff compared to other nerdy genres, so my excitement level wasn't as high as usual. However, once this Crate showed up, I couldn't wait to open it! So, without further ado, here begins my review of this month's Loot Crate written from work! (Bad, Mike, BAD!)

For those of you who haven't heard of Loot Crate, it is a monthly subscription box that caters towards "nerds" and "geeks". Each month, subscribers get a themed box of 6 to 8 items. What's interesting is that Loot Crate has different subscription programs. Here's a breakdown:

1 Month Plan - $19.37 USD / $29.95 CAD per month

3 Month Plan - $55.11 USD / $84.00 CAD per 3 months

6 Month Plan - $105.99 USD / $162.00 CAD per 6 months

MARCH - COVERT

Loot Crate has always been very good with theming, and "Covert" had so much potential. Let's see if they were able to live up to their reputation. Here's what was in my box:

- Loot Crate Mini Magazine ($2.50 CAD)

- Loot Crate Theme Pin ($0.75 CAD)

- James Bond T-Shirt ($15.00 CAD)

- Blink Time Stealth Watch ($10.00 CAD)

- Paracord Survival Bracelet ($12.00 CAD)

- Agents of SHIELD Lanyard ($10.00 CAD)

- Spy Mad Libs ($5.00 CAD)

- Orphan Black #1 Comic ($4.00 CAD)

- Field Notes Notebooks ($5.00 CAD)

Custom Loot Crate Box

Since their first custom box last year, Loot Crate has continued this treat month after month without fail. I really appreciate it and love this month's spy computer box. The finger print scanner design was extra cool.

Loot Crate Mini Magazine

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love the Loot Crate magazine. It takes effort to do this every month and effort is what I ask for when it comes to designing subscription boxes. This month, there are some neat articles, including one about Metal Gear through the years and another about spies in movies.

Loot Crate Theme Pin

This is a very cool-looking pin based on the cover design of the mini magazine. I will have it proudly mounted on my cork board at home.

James Bond T-Shirt

When I was in university, my residence had a super awesome James Bond club where the members were given codes names based on characters from the series. Oh, how I wish I had this shirt back then!

Thanks go to my buddy Tom for modelling the shirt. And, yes ladies, he's also a Looter!

Blink Time Stealth Watch

When you think of a stealth watch, I honestly don't think a fancy rubber band is what you'd have in mind. But, a fancy rubber band is technically what this watch is. Sure, it looks kind of cool and lights up with the time when you press the face, but it's really cheap and flimsy, plus attracts dust like a static-y balloon. Oh, and the non-branded version from China costs $3.25 USD compared to the more expensive branded versions I found on Amazon. Still, if you can ignore the dust, the watch does look pretty cool and is a great timepiece to have on vacation when you don't want to bring your expensive Casio G-Shock. :p

Paracord Survival Bracelet

I gotta say, this parachute cord bracelet is both very cool-looking and extremely useful. It's getting attached to my travel bag for sure!

Agents of SHIELD Lanyard

I love the show "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD", so this lanyard is a very welcome addition to my collection of Disney lanyards. Yes, I said "Disney" lanyards. ;p

Spy Mad Libs

Favourite item, hands down!

Orphan Black #1 Comics

I've only watched a couple of episodes of the show this comic book is based on, but Jess loves it. I appreciate that Loot Crate chose to give us the first issue since, as I've said before, it sucks coming into a story in the middle.

Field Notes Notebooks

I'm a fan of cool notebooks. There are so many times where I've gone to Chapters or Indigo and seen a notebook with an awesome cover design and wanted to buy it. Jess has an even greater love of pretty notebooks than me, so these cool little items will probably end up on her desk. :)

OVERVIEW

For a theme that is only moderately interesting to me, it sure allowed Loot Crate to provide me with some top-notch items, except for the Blink Watch, of course. I'm extremely impressed, especially with the coolness factor of items like the Paracord Bracelet and SHIELD Lanyard. The theming and effort shown in putting this and every other box together is why I keep my subscription active.

I received my Loot Crate so early this month that they have yet to announce the theme for next month! Nice! Still, if you`re interested in learning more about Loot Crate, please check out their Web Site. And, if you want to subscribe, use the following code to get a $3 discount: SAVE3
