March’s Loot Crate: Cosmos


Photo-A-Day #2906

This month’s Loot Crate is titled Cosmos. The contents are all about space. Inside we get some great items. The biggest item inside is the Funko Pop Star Wars Darth Vader Bobble-Head. This is a great little figure that I’m going to happily display on my desk at work. The next biggest thing is a Hexbug. The Loot Crate team discovered these at Toy Fair and each crate contained one. I’ll be adding this to my collection of Hexbugs and let it roam around the Hexbug Nano Hive Habitat.

With two big items like those the rest of the items in the crate were smaller and simpler. There was a Live Long and Prosper button created by the folks at Loot Crate Labs. Another smaller items but very cool one is the Secret Code Wristband that has the Konami Code on it. This was also created by Loot Crate Labs. This would have been so useful when I was a kid playing Nintendo for hours on end.

Rounding out the contents of the box were some Art of Star Wars Comic Postcards and a Dead Space 3 Wall Graphic.

With monthly fun swag like this there is no wonder in my mind why Loot Crate has been selling out each month’s subscriptions. Great job guys! I’ll post my unboxing video soon.

Disclosure: I’m a Loot Crate Ambassador and get a crate sent to me each month to unbox and share my photos of the cool stuff inside.

MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants Battle Portals: Ignitor and Chop Chop

Chop Chop and Ignitor on Battle Portals

In our continuing series of reviews of MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants sets we now get to our last two Battle Portals. The Battle Portals that we get to this time are for Ignitor and Chop Chop. We also play another game with the Ultimate Battle Arcade called Battle Shuffle. The game is like shuffleboard and you take your battle portals and slide them as close as you can to the gate without hitting the sheep. To play this game you need to rebuild the Ultimate Battle Arcade in a different configuration. This is one of my favorite games to play in the Ultimate Battle arcade. Here is our review. (Disregard the opening title, I screwed it up and didn’t change it from the last review of Terrafin and Dark Spyro.)
