4 Years With Loot Crate… Over

No More Loot Crate
Photo-A-Day #4409

I made this video, not out of bitterness or anger or spite. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have been able to review Loot Crate boxes for the past 4 years for free. I was one of the first people to ever review the crates to promote this newly formed company that wanted to grow. Loot Crate did grow. It grew and grew into an extremely popular company that has several different crates shipping out every month. I’ve been able to review Loot Crate, Loot Wear, Marvel Gear + Goods, and more.

I found out the other day that I won’t be receiving any more Loot Crates for free. My audience isn’t converting to sales very well and therefore it isn’t worth it to the company to send me Loot Crate for free to review if there isn’t anything for them in return. I completely understand this. It makes sense. It is also my fault. For the past four years I had the mindset of promotion and not sales. I simply told people about the great crates and didn’t try and sell people on signing up.

Sure, I have a discount code and some affiliate links. I add this to each of my videos:

I am an Affiliate for Loot Crate and you can order Loot Crate through my link and use the promo code BENSPARK for a discount. https://benspark.com/LootCrateDX

But that did not translate into sales because I had the mindset of promotion, not sales.

Loot Crate is something that I have enjoyed being a part of and I hope it is something that continues to grow and do well. I wish Matt and Chris and the rest of the team continued success with their company. If I ever get asked back I will be certain to not only promote by sell as this is a company I believe in and want to see succeed.

This mean that this is the end of me doing Loot Crate Unboxings? Yes and No. I will no longer be doing sponsored unboxings, however I purchased a 3 month subscription and will do some of my own unboxings with crates I purchased. I couldn’t miss out on the Guardians themed crate that is coming this month. It has items from these properties:

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
STAR WARS
DESTINY
GOONIES

I wasn’t missing the Rocket and Groot statue that is in the crate.

November LootCrate - Magical
Photo-A-Day #4242

Each month I receive a Loot Crate to unbox and review. I am also an affiliate of Loot Crate so if you buy through me you help me out and I can help you out with a discount code – Get Loot Crate Now – BENSPARK. This month’s Loot Crate has the theme of Magical and it has items from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Doctor Strange, Game of Thrones, Big Trouble in Little China and Elder Scrolls.

I really liked this box. There are many great items in this one box from properties that I enjoy. The tshirt is from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This is an interesting one calling for people to become an Obliviator. I’ll be wearing that when we go to see the movie tomorrow night.

The item in the box that I loved the most is the Doctor Strange statue from Q-Fig. This is a Loot Crate exclusive. It looks amazing.

In the box there was also a notebook with red tipped pages. This is a Game of Thrones themed moleskin notebook with a Melisandre theme. It is beautiful and I know that my wife is going to love it.

There was also a comic book with an Exclusive cover. This was for the Big Trouble in Little China / Escape from New York crossover. These are two movies that I liked very much in the 80s.

The Loot Pin is for Elder Scrolls. With it you can get special features in the game.

The crate itself is a reversible one. It looks like a shelf of magical items and I know that Eva is going to want that for her room because she is a fan of Harry Potter and the wizarding world.

There are so many cool items in the box, one of the best so far. You can see my unboxing video below.
