So I must admit that I have a weakness for monthly subscription boxes. I don't know what it is but the excitment I get the day that box arrives is unmatched by no other.  Recently I started to subscribe to Loot Crate, and it has been awesome so far (I've only gotten two months).  Does anyone else on the forum subscribe to the monthly box Loot Crate?

 

Or does anyone subscribe to another monthly service that is worth the money?

I do Loot Crate as well. I feel all giddy inside, too. Haha. It is very exciting.. probably more than it should be for me.

 

As far as other services go, haven't looked into any. I doubt any can amount to LC though. Has quite a large following. 

 

You're not alone! ^.^

I think it is such a great box because they have made smart moves with who the companies they have teamed up with.  Any thoughts as to what April's theme will be.  I would go crazy for some Game of Thrones stuff.

Not to mention a lot of those companies are leading in the video game industry right now. Almost like a niched pop culture box made for people like us. :D

 

Having nothing against GoT, just have never seen it. Though I'm sure I'd love it considering what I've heard. Anyways, I just have no clue what April's box could be. :0 Hopefully something with Elder Scrolls since ESO is coming out!

Yes, I agree! God, anything Elder Scrolls related would be just fantastic haha. So, you've been subscribed for two months meaning you got the Titan and Warriors crates. What did you think of those? Warriors was eh to me, but the Titan box totally made up for it. Just awesome.  I am wearing my Attack on Titan wristband right now ha.

 

P.S. If ES content is not to be seen, I can make due with this!

When I got the Feb box (which was my first) I was a little bummed, I mean I wasn't like hardcore disappointed in my decision to get the monthly subscription but I just felt neutral about it. I really liked the kidrobot item (I mean it is kidrobot after all) and the stickers were cute but I was still eh about it. Then I got the Titan box for March and holy balls sooooo excited. I'm a huge Attack on Titan fan so that made me super happy. So now I'm antsy pantsy for what April will hold.

You are right about the kidrobot haha. I guess those bowties may come in handy too someday. o.o I guess I can do my best Bill Nye impression wearing one, right? *dies*

I will be honest and say that I am not as big a watcher of anime as all the rest of you kids, but damn is that show fucking enthralling. Can't tell you one thing wrong with it from my perspective. Well when you get yours let me know, and I'll do the same (if you want.)

Dude. I don't think that you understand we told the fucking future.

You guys have the crazyest religious myths. The one with Loki and the horse is my favorite.

 

Also, what's a box thing? I came here expecting an explination and my best guess is a gift of the month thing. I refuse to google. REFUSE!

 

Also, also, dragons are cool. How do I get one?

 

Also, also, also, Nordic mythos is full of dragons, so you got that too, Aki. Thor and the Midgar serpent? Hello?

I find Loot Crates to be a waste of money.  A few items will be cool, but the overall package isn't worth the price tag.

 

It being a mystery allows them to tart up the bag with crap no one really wants. But there's always one cool item, although said item is rarely exclusive and/or worth the price tag of the entire box.

^All of the above. Norse myth is pretty badass. Our heritage is also pretty viking-ish ;D Honestly I'm not that up-to-date on the mythology, but recently poeple have spoken about it here so.. maybe I should start educating myself :P

 

I read this thread and just imagined someone in full custume  and entourage showing up at the door, delivering EPIC treasure.. I just want to keep believing that. xD

Loot Crate is a monthly Geek and Gamer Box that is delivered to your house. It's a mystery box so you never know what is going to be in it but each month has a theme and the items in the box are based around that theme.  It's $13.37 + S/H.

 I have found it to be decent. Some months can be eh but some months make up for bad months. Thats part of the gamble I suppose.

Danico, let me bear your children.

 

I've wanted to try a couple subscription boxes I've seen online but I never have money for stuff like this. It sounds like it would be fun though.
