Loot Crate Battle

Loot Crate has arrived in the post today!  This month's theme is BATTLE.  My housemates and I made guesses to what type of items will be in the crate, if they are right (in theory) they can keep the item.  Eiren said Street Fighter, Kieran said Autobots and Katie said Mega Man.  I drank some wine instead of wagering a guess.


Lewt Time!

The Loot Crate Magazine I've learned it comes with every crate.  Background reading material about the items in the crate.  At the back of the mag, there are Ryu and Mega Man punch outs.  They are pretty much mini-paper dolls.  To note, I do not like this face given to Mega Man.  He looks like something out of an Archie Comic and I don't like that.  That being said, I will more than likely find some use for these.

I forgot to mention this in my previous crate post, every month there is a button that comes in every crate.  I have to get this out of the way now, I am not a fan of buttons.  I feel they are 1980's flair and honestly I have no purpose for them.  Some people like them, they are just not for me.  In any event, this month features Ryu and weird face Mega Man.

Street Fighter Headband: Point goes to Eiren for guessing there would be a Street Fighter in this crate.  The headband is made of thin, lightweight fabric that is easy to tie around a person's head or any other appendage.  I got to wear this once to do the laundry, after that Eiren has had it hidden away in his den. I found it!

HALO Drop Ship Mini Figure: Ah the memories of the countless hours lost playing Halo.  These are the Metallic version that comes with a figure and a not-a-Lego stand with the iconic Halo painted on the brick .  It comes in a grenade pod which is slightly amusing to toss at people.  I have this particular one so I won't be opening it.

Mega Man Mini Helmet (1 of 4 colours):  Even though Katie guessed correctly, I trumped her and am keeping this-she can go cry in a corner for all I care.  Mega Man is one of my all-time favourite games.  There are four colours (classic blue, red, grey or green) and I got the grey one.  The helmet is heavy and fits on the stand nicely.  It will look great standing with my other Mega Man items.

Assassin's Creed IV Unity Coin with Velvet Pouch: Admittingly I am not a big Assassin's Creed fan.  I played very little of the first one and wasn't too keen to the others.  This a heavy double-sided coin that is detailed and nice to look at.  I don't have many collector coins so I'm on the fence with keeping this or not.

Pirates vs. Ninja Shirt:  Very cool design.  Katie is a huge pirate fan so this tee will be hers.  Have pirates and ninjas battled at all, ever?

Final Verdict

Not quite sure the theme and the items matched up.  The Mega Man helmet is my favourite thing from this crate, hands down.  The items were not bad this month, just not my favourites.
