Loot Crate is a monthly mystery subscription box of geek and gamer gear.  It is filled with exclusive items from the biggest and most popular pop culture franchises. The cost for a monthly subscription is $13.95 + $6 Shipping.

http://looted.by/dVjES


The Loot Crate umbrella now offers other boxes such as Loot Crate Pets and Loot Crate Anime.

This Unboxing is for the original Loot Crate box.


The theme for this month's box is FUTURISTIC. 

Here are the items in this month's box:

 Loot Crate's box can be flipped inside-out to reveal another design.



All monthly subscription also includes a monthly Loot Crate exclusive magazine and pin.  The pin can unlock an additional digital loot online. This month's digital loot is Starfleet's Admirals Commission Pack by Perfect World.

Here's a closer look of the magazine and pin:


 This month's box is pretty good - a lot of cool and nostalgic collectibles.


Planet Express Ship 
Futurama


3" Mega Man Figure

Also known as Rockman (ロックマン Rokkuman) in Japan, is a video game franchise created by Capcom, starring the robot character Mega Man, or one of his many counterparts.

Here are the possible variants that are available in this blind box.



  This figure is pretty nostalgic for me.  Reminds me of the late 80's and early 90's when I would watch Japanese cartoons in the late afternoon. :)


Rick and Morty Portal Gun Shirt

I am always happy to receive something that I can actually use! As always, this shirt is soft and very comfortable I love the fit of all Loot Crate T-Shirts. Although note that the women's size runs small. So if you wear a small - order a medium! Go one size up!


Star Trek Dedication Plaque Replica Decal (Exclusive)



4001 A.D. #1 (Exclusive Cover)

All in all, I am happy with this month's Loot Crate box. A lot of collectibles and I love the t-shirt too!
