To Loot Crate or not to Loot Crate... That is the question

About this subject I have many feelings...

I have been getting Loot Crates since I moved back to Connecticut from New Hampshire (since summer 2014). I have so many boxes still at my parent's house. When I move, into my next place, I'm going to have them all setup and show you it all.

I have received a couple of different crates, and I'm going to tell you if I think they're worth it.


Starting with Monthly Crates:

The Original "Generic" Loot Crate - This is a classic for $13.95 a month you get 5/6 items that represent the month's theme. I thought I wouldn't want to keep this one after two years, however I have recently decided that I wanted to go back to it. (If that gives you an idea if I like it or not).

Loot Anime Crate - This crate costs $24.95 a month. Loot Crate partnered with Crunchyroll; which you can also do a monthly subscription to Crunchyroll through. I received six months, and personally I don't think I want to continue. I'm glad I received the couple of Manga (hoping to read those soon), and the little knick knacks. But honestly, as much as I love Anime it wasn't all that I was hoping for. But if you're interested I would move quick because this is constantly filling up (limited subscriptions).

Loot Gaming Crate - This crate costs $24.95 a month. I have not received this crate, but from what I've seen it looks like you're going to be receiving (based on the theme) a bunch of game related merchandise. I would get this crate if all of the games in a crate were ones that I enjoy.. However, I grew up playing gameboys and Wii (not saying I don't own a Play Station 2 and GameCube).

Loot Pets Crate - This crate costs $19.99 a month. I want to get this so badly. Currently in the process of saving up for the new place. But after that happens the plan is to get a kitten and a dog, #lifegoals. I know that once I get this crate that I'm sure I'll like it, but I'll definitely keep you posted. The one issue I see, but I won't know for sure until I get the crate is that it looks like it is only for dogs.

Level Up Crate - This crate costs starting at $8.99 a month. This is an apparel crate, usually you add these to existing crates that you've already purchased. The image below gives a better explanation. I personally would not get this, but maybe you don't want to get the average crate, therefore this might be better for you.

Loot Crate DX - This crate costs $44.99 a month. It appears that this crate is similar to the original crate, however, like it says at "a higher-caliber." From looking it appears that this is just a more expensive version of the original. I don't know if it's worth it, primarily because personally financially it doesn't make sense to. I'm sure the memorabilia is great. But I don't think this will be for me. Maybe one month I will get one so I can let you know what kind of "loot" you can look at receiving.

Partnered Crates:

HALO Legendary Crate - This crate costs $34.99 a month. I wouldn't get this crate, and it's not because the memorabilia won't be good, but because I never was one of those people who was super crazy about Halo. Don't get me wrong, it clearly was a great game due to how long it has lasted, how many people have and probably still do play it, and even the joke shows/movies were created because of it. I'm sure in this crate you're bound to get some pretty cool items.

Firefly Crate - This crate costs $34.99 a month. Now this crate I have, I plan on keeping, and have loved (the two times I have received it). This crate is not a crate that you get every month, but when you get it you receive memorabilia resembling the individual who it was focused on for the crate. For example, the first crate was Kaylee Frye. So to name a few, we got a Kaylee bear, some little paper umbrellas, and like in each crate a Qmx Mini Master Figure of Kaylee. The second crate was Jayne Cobb. So to name a few, we got a Rum flask, a Q Bits PVC Figure of Shepard (in the previous crate I received Simon) (there is a choice between two that you might get each time), and a Qmx Mini Master Figure of Jayne.

Limited Edition Crates:

Call of Duty Black OPS III Crate - This crate costs $100.00 a month. This is not a crate that I myself would get because I don't play Call of Duty. However, as I will explain more with the next crate, if you're a fan you totally will love it. It's a one time crate. It's got a bunch of collectibles that are worth it; I would assume.

Star Wars Crate - This crate costs $100.00 a month. This crate was a great purchase. This crate originally came out just before Episode 7 of Star Wars. I actually have worn the scarf and shirt I have received from this numerous times. I don't know if you collect Golden Books, but I know I plan to, especially when I have kids; with this crate there is a six book set. I'll leave the rest as a surprise if you get it.
There are additional crates that I have received in the past from Loot Crate. This company is always coming out with new ideas. I look forward to keeping you posted on new crates. What crate would you want to get? Which crate do you think is a waste?

I'm going to Hot Topic!

My plan for today is to go to Hot Topic. 

Here are a couple reasons to why I want to go, even if you're unable to go it seems like they have great deals online too!

I REALLY WANT to get one of these Mermicornos! I can't promise that I'm only going to get one! :) I think they're so adorable and I can't wait to add it (them) to my figures.


[I'll have to share those sometime!]
OMG! I saw these in my e-mail this morning, I really want to see these at least. After seeing this, I kept thinking that this election seems like such a joke. I mean think about it, there are kickstarters and now Funko Pop designed to represent the presidential candidates. Partially they are making fun of these candidates...

So many feels.

Hello, is anyone out there?

I know this probably isn’t the way to start my blog; but I don’t want to forget or give people the wrong impression. Anything that I put on here, that I have purchased or received as a present, I am not trying to brag about in anyway. I just want people to be able to see things that I have found, because in all honesty I know (for me) if I saw something that I liked on the Internet or in a store I would want to know where I could get it too/know of it's EXISTENCE.
​
Also, I am creating this blog for myself for multiple reasons. I am a giant geek, I want to actually keep a record of things I find.... things that are Disney, Games, Anime, Tv Shows, Movies, Funko Pop (why do I love these so much!!), etc. There are so many things I want to buy out there, and you know what, why not share it with people! :) 


On that note, I am a giant geek, dork, fangirl, whatever you want to call it. I love video games and movies (& tv shows) due to the graphics and storylines. I am a hardcore DISNEY fan (the best way to prove it, currently as I'm writing this I have "Zootopia" playing in the background). Honestly wish I could live there, if not nearby there. I am waiting for the day when I can be like “I’m an annual passholder [for life]”. Sorry, off topic.. 

ALSO! If you ever see anything that I haven’t posted, please message me about it! There is a possibility that I might not have come across it, and I might NEED to buy it.... I have a bunch of collections, which I'm sure you'll start to realize, but I also want to hear about your collections. I want you to share with me collections that I don't have (or maybe I do have but you have items that I haven't seen before)! I want to be able to share what you like too.

I appreciate it so much that you’re reading this. I hope that I am able to keep you interested enough to come back. 

Thank you for reading this! AND I look forward to having the chance to fangirl out with people who have the same obsession or possibly other interests.
