Loot Crate has really raised the bar this month with the Galaxy crate. Inside are some of the things that I like getting from Loot Crate most of all. An amazing T-shirt that shows a fun scene of our solar system and some cool NASA things like the Mars Rover and the International Space Station done in an 8-bit format. I also love Funko Pop characters and this month there is a Han Solo figure in snow gear from the new movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Also we have a pair of BB-8 socks based on the character from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Speaking of Star Wars: The Force Awakens here is some incredible information.

“Our sole focus has been creating a film that delivers that one-of-a-kind Star Wars experience, and director J.J. Abrams, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, and the Lucasfilm team have outdone themselves,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. “To all of the fans around the world who not only came out in Force to make this such an exciting and astronomical debut but who treated this film as their own and helped preserve the experience for their fellow fans by not spoiling it – thank you, we do.”

The crate is also a reversible one and it turns into the cryo chamber that contains Master Chief from Halo 5. Inside was also a special Halo 5 Ammo Tin Box and the code for a special downloadable Req Pack for Halo 5. Rounding out the crate was an authentic movie prop from Galaxy Quest and a special gold metallic pin for this month’s crate. I enjoyed everything about this month’s crate. It was pretty awesome.
