Who buys Lootcrate here?

[toughtrasher]

Since this is a mostly nerdy forum, I wanted to ask if anyone buys Lootcrate?

Just bought it for my younger brother earlier this month so thought it was pretty neat. It's still shipping though.

I want to sub,.. but, looking at the past history of similar offers,.. I don't really find anything that is really drawing me to it.

If I had more space to put up/display the stuff, sure.

So for $20 a month, they just send you random nerdy stuff?

Looks like a way to just get more random junk around the house.

I heard that they have good months and bad months. Most of the time, its not worth it

A friend sent me a link to this. Looks like just a bunch of shit to collect dust.

I leave the tchotchke-collecting to others.

This sounds similar to Luckyloot, which is run by an ATOT member.

I've looked into purchasing a year of crates for myself or as a gift to my nephews. The shipping kills the price though.

Yeah, after looking at past crates I would agree. Junk is junk even if it's cheap.

But I can see where it would be a decent gift idea.

Sounds like the Luckyloot guy needs to start a monthly subscription service!

We get them for my 13 year old son and he loves them...he's wearing the Zelda shirt that came with this months crate as we speak!

It *is* mostly "nerdy knick-knack" type stuff, and I can't really see it appealing to anyone over 18-20 unless that person actively collect "nerdy knick-knacky" type stuff.

He looks forward to it every month.

It's a lot of junk and I've got no room for the junk I've already got. So I just watch Ashens do his unboxings. They do come with some nice t-shirts though.
