Geek Alert - June Loot Crate

It's Loot Crate time.  Sometimes I'm unsure about the themes Loot Crate come up with as they don't always appeal but they do inspire me to expand my geek knowledge and I get to learn about different films or games that I have heard about but have never bothered to experience.  Or even companies.

Geek Alert - June My Geek Box

Spoilers
Always get Doctor Who flashbacks when I see that word.

I know I said I was cancelling My Geek Box but I still get the emails announcing the themes and such and they announced an exclusive Funko! Pop was going to be in the June box so I decided to renew my subscription for one month because I was curious what it would be, especially given the theme.

Geek Alert - May Loot Crate


It's the middle of the month again and that means Loot Crate is here, which is always a great surprise, whether I come home from work and it's in my porch or I'm home when it's delivered.  Loot Crate is always good because there is so much imagination that goes into it.

Geek Alert - April Loot Crate


After this month, there will only be one Geek Alert every month because I have decided to cancel the My Geek Box subscription because I'm not enjoying it as much as I am Loot Crate but I have liked most of the items I got with My Geek Box and they have a great gift shop so I might pop back every so often.

Geek Alert - April My Geek Box


It's the middle of the month and that means My Geek Box has arrived; I was so excited about this month's box because I had a strong feeling that there was going to be something Avengers related because of the new film coming out in a week.

Geek Alert - March Loot Crate


It's Loot Crate time once again and it's another bit of geeky stuff for me this month while I decide on whether to continue My Geek Box, my other geek subscription.

Geek Alert - March My Geek Box


It's the middle of the month again and that means that My Geek Box has arrived; this month, I struggled to find a suitable header for this post but I liked this one because blowing out candles on a cake means birthday to me.

Geek Alert - February Loot Crate


It's the end of the month which must mean that it's Loot Crate time and that means a monthly dose of weird and wonderful geeky stuff, or a second dose because of my My Geek Box subscription, but I have been looking forward to Loot Crate arriving.

Geek Alert - February My Geek Box


While Loot Crate is a mystery by itself, My Geek Box is the mother of all mysteries every month other than the theme because they don't even give you a hint at what will be in the box.  You are guaranteed to get a T-shirt but there is no clue what will be on it or what else will come with it and that's a quality I like about My Geek Box.

Geek Alert - January Loot Crate


It's Loot Crate time and everything from across the pond is starting to arrive at a normal rate, sort of, and once again, it's weird and wonderful with a retro spin on the usual random items.

Geek Alert - January My Geek Box


It's a new year and with that comes new things.  January's My Geek Box arrived today which I was excited about, as I tend to be because of my puppy-like personality.

Geek Alert - December Loot Crate

Happy anniversary!!!

Because I live across the pond in jolly old Blighty, sometimes it takes a while for things to get through customs, especially at Christmas because it gets busy so this month's Loot Crate took longer to get here.  Fortunately, it was a fantastic parcel that was worth waiting for.

Geek Alert - December My Geek Box


It's that time of year; Christmas is here and it wouldn't be Christmas without Wilf wearing two pairs of antlers and dancing.  My Geek Box arrived today which was a nice surprise when I got home from work.

Geek Alert - November My Geek Box

Fantastic!!

As of this month until I so choose, I am getting a double dose of geekery, the first in the form of Loot Crate which I have been getting since August and the second comes in the form of My Geek Box, a UK-based subscription service similar to Loot Crate and today I received my first My Geek Box.  A sidenote is that unlike Loot Crate, My Geek Box doesn't come with a badge so each post will be topped with a random GIF to do with the theme that month if you hadn't guessed.  Enjoy the Doctor dancing; it keeps distracting me.

Geek Alert - November Loot Crate

Is this a battle?! Are we in a battle?!
[paraphrased from Dean Winchester]

It's Loot Crate time!!!  Once a month, a box full of random geek and nerd items arrives on the steps outside my house and it's always exciting to find out what is in it because it's always weird and wonderful, even if I'm not sure on the theme.

Geek Alert - October Loot Crate

Run!  Hide!  Tis the time to be full of Fear!

It's that time of the month again and Loot Crate is here and I have loved both of the previous boxes I've had because they've both been themes I liked and even this month, though apprehensive, I was intrigued by the prospect and I think I will be for a while yet.  As I've said before, I don't like to hear my own voice so I'm going to continue my blogs on them.

Geek Alert - September Loot Crate

Oh god, oh god, we're all going to die [with excitement because the September Loot Crate is here].
Paraphrased from a Serenity film quote, Wash is a great character.

So it's that time of the month again and my Loot Crate arrived today.  Last month I was thrilled with this subscription service and I loved my random box of themed stuff and I wholeheartedly agree that it's a Christmas present every month from a family member who knows you're a geek/nerd/gamer.  As I've said before, I don't like to hear my own voice so I'm going to continue my blogs on them.

Geek Alert - August Loot Crate

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the August Loot Crate.

I was so excited this month when I found out about Loot Crate and what it offers.  It's a subscription service that you get a box full of themed stuff sent to you once a month.  As others have said, it's like a Christmas present every month from a family member who knows you're a geek/gamer.  They like Looters to film when they open their Loot Crates but I don't like to hear my own voice on film so I've decided to blog about it instead.  Originally, they didn't ship to the UK but obviously now they do and I get to enjoy the experience for myself, yay!
