Was this the 'Battle' themed crate? I wasn't expecting them to be out so soon!

Yeah that's the one and they kept more to the theme this month than last. Half of the contents I can see myself keeping/using. People here should be getting them by the end of the week.

For anyone not signed up yet, coupon code 12off seems to give the biggest saving.

Wasn't expecting it until the 20th like last month. I people have videos up YouTube the last 2 to 3 days so some got it even earlier than me. Don't look thought it ruins the surprise

I haven't signed up.. I'm trying to justify it to myself but I'm struggling to justify 20ish euro per month for a box of crap :pac:

I've been subscribed to this thread since it was created and all

Just rang home, mine is sitting there waiting too. sweet.

DubDJ

Probably get mine tomorrow, last one came on a Tuesday although that doesn't meam much haha.

James Howlett

Decent enough junk this month I think.

You gotta love the customs description: geek and gamer gear kit

deadl0ck

Yep. I was much happier with this one compared to last month

I just got mine in the past few minutes. It works this time around and it's been in Ireland the last few days. Should have it anytime this week.

Mine just arrived. I didn't get any tracking info either (unless it's on my account if I log in, but I didn't get any email)

Got it yesterday, the tshirt would barely fit a child. Last month's medium was twice the size. Didn't think it was great really, next month for Christmas will be a good one hopefully.

wnolan1992

Think mine came yesterday too, won't be able to open it until Friday though.

maximoose

Just got mine this morning, happy with the contents

I thought this too. The t-shirt seems much more 'snug' than last month's tshirt. Although maybe I've just put on a few more pounds, high probability that's the reason for the snugness.

It's better than last month's crate, but still wasn't blown away by it.

tdonegan1990

Just after arriving! Seems odd no tracking info was given but sure we'll not complain.

Pingi

Got it yesterday, got tracking info this morning..

DubDJ

Mine arrived this morning. I was really looking forward to last months theme and it was also my first crate but I wasn't too happy. This one I wasn't into the theme at all but after arriving there's some cool stuff inside. Happier with this one anyway. Still have one left just before Christmas so I'll decide after the next one whether to keep subscribing.

dunworth1

got mine today aswell happy enough wuth this months one

now i'm off to build my box

polydactyl

Signed up last month to get a box for husbands Christmas stocking. Only wanted one month so cancelled after it arrived. Cancellation confirmed 24th Oct. charged again 31st Oct, contacted them and they admitted error so refunded me on 6th Nov... Box arrived this morning! Not sure what to do. Can't imagine I will go to the bother of posting it back

cw67irl

THese look good but im still in two minds, What do you reckon are they worth it?

They're worth it if you want some crap to mess around with for a while.

I haven't opened my first one yet, but from the YT videos I've seen of past crates you're never going to get something spectacular out of them. It's always just going to be fun little novelties or the odd t-shirt. Personally I think a lot of the criticism leveled at them is from people who are going in with too igh expectations. I'm going in expecting to get a box of nick-knacks that will amuse me for a few hours. Anything else is a bonus. :P

oppenheimer1

I don't see the bargain here. It sounds expensive for what is tat and junk.

Excuse me, but one man's tat and junk is another man's Street Fighter headband and Sharknado Survival Book :P

I got two crates for Oct & Nov, but that's it for me. Fun idea, similar to a 'lucky bag' but with brand names but the crates I got didn't blow me away and I'm not bothered going for a third one.

Cheers for the heads up though, OP.

chrislad

My tracking info shows it in the country since the 12th but I've still not gotten it. Anyone else in the same boat?

When the glorious revolution begins I am so steal all these loot crates from you guys.

Appropriate username.

wnolan1992

Opened the crate there. Happy enough with it, if not completely blown away.

Damo 2k9

Received another loot crate thinking it was decembers one coming early to avoid christmas post delays, but opened and it was another november crate? I checked my bank account last week and I was billed for the crate, even tho my billing date every month is the 17th. Again I thought that it was to send the december crate early, has this happened anyone else?

deadl0ck

Not me anyhow (yet !)

maximoose

I was billed on the 6th, I assumed that was for December but I might check it out with them now!

About december's crate, I'm looking forward to it more than the previous few!

his month we’re celebrating a selection of geek and gaming franchises that have had significant anniversaries in 2014 for our December crate! Believe us when we say it’s going to be BIG - as in, literally the BIGGEST crate we’ve ever delivered, size-wise! With exclusives featuring DC Comics/Batman & Marvel/Guardians of the Galaxy We also have an exclusive Ghostbusters collectible, a variant cover comic exclusive to Looters, and epic Tetris and The Simpsons items rounding things out!
To end the year with a bang we have another EXCLUSIVE Funko POP! Vinyl figure created exclusively for us at Loot Crate. You will NOT be able to find it anywhere else!
With this POP! Vinyl & other exclusives, this month's crate is bursting with value!

I didn't get any november crate at all =/ emailed em and they say they did send one but are sending me out another.

teamnini

Quick question for ya all and i know its a newb 1 but what do you guys put down as a zip code. I had down WW cause other companys got stuff to me no bothers with that but lootcrate dont seam to accept that im still waiting on my november crate because of it

wnolan1992

I always use "EIRE" as my ZIP. I used to use "n/a" as well, and have never had a problem with either.

teamnini

No sign yet, I've always received them pretty early too. Busy time though. Hopefully they'll arrive by Christmas.

DubDJ

My previous two have arrived early and both times on a Tuesday. Nothing so far for this one but hoping its going to be good.

chrislad

Hopefully. It's not looking good though. I don't expect mine until January at this stage. Last months one took over 10 days to get to me after it arrived in Ireland!

cw67irl

I didn't think they shipped until around the 20th?

Is this the "Anniversary" crate?

Rossi IRL

Signed up myself there afew days ago.

Whats with all the spam emails asking me to subscribe to a subscribtion i already am on.


Also $30 seems a little pricey

DubDJ

Just got my tracking info, only gives details as far as leaving the US but should be arriving very soon.

mayordenis

yea just got the tracking info too, showing it departing US yesterday 17th, so possibly it might sneak in before Christmas but I'm not expecting it personally, whatever.

I'd imagine we'll definitely have it before Christmas. Xmas eve would be nice

cw67irl

I got the tracking email today aswell. I will be well chuffed if it arrives before Christmas!
