Rubin Farr Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Anyone here a subscriber? Basically a delivery service for nerds, each month is a themed blind crate, weighing approx. 2lbs with exclusive swag that usually gets put up in ebay soon after. https://www.lootcrate.com Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures Positive Metal Attitude Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/85399-loot-crate/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 It seems the epitome of mindless consumerism. "Send me a crate every month of stuff that generally has no purpose, that I have no idea if I'll like, that I had someone pick-out for me, and that will ultimately turn into a large amount of clutter." It's like, damn if you need something to look forward to every month why don't you try harder? Why not just spend your money on stuff you know you really like/want/need?

Rubin Farr Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Seems similar to a vinyl subscription, you take their word it's not gonna suck every month.

Adieu Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I mean I've seen them opened. They are decent if you're into that sort of thing, but it just stinks imo.

chassis Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 The idea is not completely shit. However, the crate contents definitely are. I've heard the same idea with craft beer or other food stuffs, which I think I would enjoy.

KovalainenFanBoy Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 For 13 bucks a month it looks pretty good - until you include shipping costs I guess. Having checked the contents of their previous crates I wouldn't subscribe, but I can see a lot of people going "eh, that's pretty cool for 15 bucks" Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide KovalainenFanBoy's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/85399-loot-crate/#findComment-2240008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 For my birthday I was given a curry club subscription which is pretty cool.

hello spiral Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Eye dunno, if I had money to burn I'd totally get a loot crate: A) I like getting packages B) I like surprises. I'd then just give all the stuff away to friends or if it was worth something sell it on ebay.
