What’s In The February 2015 Loot Crate

What’s Loot Crate?

Loot Crate is a monthly subscription service that delivers a box filled with theme-of-the-month awesomeness to your door each month for $13.37 + S&H (which is about $6 anywhere in the continental U.S., though they also ship to other countries), and the contents are guaranteed to have a minimum retail value of $40. Even though it’s a subscription service, there’s no minimum subscription period and it’s very easy to cancel your subscription at any time—the Loot Crate site’s FAQ page has a direct link to their cancellation page.

Digital Media Mom Takes One For The Team

This is Digital Media Mom, where I am all about getting my money’s worth and would never personally recommend a product or service that doesn’t meet my very high standards for quality and value. I’ve put up my own money to become a subscriber so I would be able to tell you myself whether or not this service lives up to the hype, and to decide whether or not I could feel good about becoming a Loot Crate affiliate. Well, having received my first Loot Crate, all I can say is: YES, ON BOTH COUNTS!

Here’s the full breakdown, including links to retail prices I found for the same items (or comparable, in the case of Loot Crate exclusives) online:

Loot Crate -exclusive Superfight deck – these normally sell for $15 each, but obviously this LootCrate-exclusive deck isn’t available for retail purchase.

Ready Player One Paperback – listed for $8.68 on Amazon

Kidrobot Mini Munny Diy Vinyl Art Figure – listed for $32 on Amazon, for a version that doesn’t come with the pens that were included with this Lootcrate-exclusive one.

Hexbug Ant – listed for $10.68 on Amazon.

Pac-Man Game Cart Mini-Poster – I couldn’t find a comparable item online, so I can’t give a value for this item.

Rock, Paper Scissors Dice – listed at $4.75 on Amazon for a set that doesn’t come with the little drawstring bag Lootcrate packed them in.

Firefly Online Game Premium Ship – since I don’t play this game I can’t say for certain what the premium ship upgrade would cost, but based on other games I do play I’d estimate no more than a buck or two.

Limited edition Loot Crate button with this month’s Play theme – (no comparable value item since this is a limited edition button that was made exclusively to ship in Loot Crate boxes, but buttons like these sell for $1 each at Hot Topic)

Drumroll, Please! The Total Value Of This Month’s Loot Crate is…

The total value of the merchandise in this month’s Loot Crate is over $70!

As an added bonus, in keeping with the Play theme for this month’s crate, everything came packed in a box designed to be opened up and used as a game board with the Rock, Paper Scissors dice and some punch-out game pieces that are printed in the monthly guide to the Crate’s contents.
