The BAM Box - Strange (September 2016)

I thought I would try out this new box: The BAM Box!

We received a lot of really cool things (first off I was an instant winner too): a Beetlejuice Pin of Lydia (glad I got her, she probably the only one I would've wanted), a Stranger Things "Demogorgon Killer" a bat with nails replica, a custom Alice in Wonderland White Rabbit Pocket Watch, a Totem Set from the movie Inception, a Bam Box exclusive GRIMM Volume 2 #1 from Dynamite, an autographed #1529 of 2500 of "Pure Imagination" by artist Mindy Wheeler, and since I was an instant winner I received a Bam Box exclusive Gaten Matarazzo "Dustin" signed Stranger Things Hat replica.

My opinion of this box?
I would get this box again, you receive tons of items in this box, and you have the potential to get an autographed item! I however am not getting next month's box. The only reason why though is because it's primarily horror based (due to Halloween), and I'm a giant scaredy-cat. This is worth checking out.

Bookly Box - September 2016

My second Bookly Box came in! I'm so excited about this read! 

The items I received in this book are:

- a bookmark

- two tazo teas

- a feather pen

- a field notes book

- the book: Riven by Sarah Bryant 

This is the sequel to Bound. 

My goal is to finish this book and the prequel. Note Bookly Box was amazing! They provided us a downloadable copy for the first book!

I am so pleased with this box, I really look forward to next month's box already!

Loot Crate - Speed (September 2016)

The new Loot Crate box came in, this box is about Speed.

A cool thing that Loot Crate has been doing more so lately is giving us the ability to create objects with the crates; this box turns into a car. The items we received in the box this month are the Arrow Hood Ornament-Style Figure, Battlestar Galactica "Scar" Vinyl Replica, Stark Industries Racing Tee, Batwing Keychain, a Speed tire pin, all of which were exclusives and Gone in 60 Seconds "Eleanor" Die-cast Car.

My opinion of this box?
I have been getting this box since August 2014; so I think I like this box a little bit! I however am not planning on getting next month's box because it looks like everything about it is going to be horror, As stated before, I'm a giant scaredy-cat, and I'll admit it.

The Collectors Case - Super Heroes (September 2016)

I thought I would try out this new box: The Collectors Case!

We received a Superman Funko Pop (a pop I don't have), Love Letter: Batman card game (hopefully I could do a video on trying this game out) [please note this could've been an Archer Edition], The Big Bang Theory trading cards, Marvel Dog Tag & trading cards, DC Comics Batman special edition reprint, Cardfight Vanguard and Luck & Logic Fanbook coloring books, BAM shirt, and Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon Vinyl Idolz Figure.

My opinion of this box?
I would get this box again, you receive tons of items in this box, and you have the potential to get an autographed photograph! I how ever am not getting next month's box. The only reason why though is because it's primarily horror based (due to Halloween), and I'm a giant scaredy-cat.

Smuggler's Bounty - The Death Star (September 2016)

My Smuggler's Bounty subscription box arrived! It would help if I had it delivered to my house and not my parent's home. (Good news, I recently changed the address).

The first items we see when we open the box are a Stormtrooper pin as well there was a Darth Vader patch.
Then when you open the lid, there are two Funko Pops: Grand Moff Tarkin (the Admiral on the Death Star) and Darth Vader, a luggage tag that is a Death Star, and finally a Sith vs. Jedi shirt which is Darth Vader versus Obi-One Kenobi.

My opinion of this box?
I would get this again, because I love the items I have received (since day one (I've been receiving this box since this box started)), and I love admiral Funko Pop we received. I can't wait to see next month's Funko Pop(s).

Legion of Collectors - September 2016

As you can see I finally got my Legion of Collectors box. I hope this isn't the case when my next box arrives!

The first items we see when we open the box are a Harley Quinn pin as well there was a Batgirl patch.
Then when you open the lid, there is a Wonder Woman with the Invisible Jet figurine, a Batgirl comic book, the Harley Quinn + Poison Ivy + Cat Woman villains printed shirt, and a Hawkgirl Funko Pop.

My opinion of this box?
I would get this again, because I liked the items I received, and I love the Funko Pop we received.

Status

Lately I know I haven't been as active as I've planned to be (at least it feels that way for me). I thought I would let you know what's been going on in my life, and why this is as such.

I have actually been purchasing a chunk of subscription boxes, and I can't wait to get a bunch of items to share with you. I am also currently trying to figure out if I want to start doing video for the blog/youtube. What do you think? Is it something you would watch? I also want to not only video my opening subscriptions, but I also want to video when I'm going hunting/comic book shopping.

In addition, as I'm sure we all agree, I need to go back to Disney so I could share more about down there!

Tsum Tsum Subscription box for September 2016

Without trying to give it away to everyone, you all should check out what the tsum tsum subscription is going to be. A hint is: I already have these two characters, this time they are just in separate outfits. I want these so badly (yet, I know I don't "need" them). Go to disneytsumtsum.com if you're curious and not afraid of spoilers.

I recently finally signed up for the Pop in a Box subscription box! I am so excited for this.

I have a list of 100's that they will be picking from, and not that there were countless others I wanted too (however I needed to narrow it down to the ones I really want.

Please let me know if you want me to provide a list of all of them (I currently have them all written out into a notebook (36 pages aka 18 pages with both sides)).

Loot Crate - August 2016 Anti-Hero

The August Loot Crate box arrived! This month was Anti-hero. 

First, you are able to transform the crate into a hammer! Definitely going to use this on people. Don't tell anyone.

Now onto the loot, there was a Harley Quinn Q-fig from Quantum Mechanix (Qmx), an anti-hero month pin of Sylvanas Windrunner from WoW, an exclusive Archer t-shirt, a comic in the magazine, Kill Bill volume 1 socks, and a Hellboy coin bank.

My favorite thing from this whole box (besides turning it into a hammer) is the Harley Quinn figure.

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?
