Loot Crate Rewind

Happy Birthday to me indeed!  Loot Crate was in the post today.  Let's see what the REWIND crate is about.


Loot Crate Magazine and button:  A look at retro games, crate offerings and a pop-out of a retro controller.  The button and the front cover are the same image.




Exclusive 8-Bit Glasses:  A true nod to the 80's and the 8-bit era.  Pretty cool to stroll down Nostalgia Lane but definitely not something that I would wear on a daily basis or ever.




Comic Notebook: A DIY Comic is a novel idea.  The paper is decent and bound together in a pocket notebook.  If I had any semblance of artistic talent, I would dig the hell out of this.  Since I can only draw stick figures, this isn't for me.



Exclusive Voltron Blueprint Tee:  Hell yes Voltron!  Voltron and I were best mates when I was a wee one.  Absolutely fantastic tee!



Exclusive Star Wars Comic Book Issue 001: Great choice for this month's crate.  Star Wars is a classic.  People either love it or hate it [Star Wars and/or comics]  but I 'm happy to see it in the crate.




Exclusive 10-Doh! Figures: (1 of 6):  These little figures are too much fun.  There are six different designs and I pulled the gold 'Legend of the Future' figure and it looks great on my desk.




Exclusive Retro Arcade Skinny Tie: I find it incredibly sexy when a man wears a tie.  When I wear a tie, I look like a feeb.  I do like that Space Invaders is imaged on the tie.  Perhaps I can repurpose this better to my liking.




Final Verdict

The nostalgia is strong with this month's crate.  Very cool trip down memory land.  Even though some of the items I wasn't too keen about, someone else out there may probably enjoy them.
