Did you get the March Loot Crate? This month’s theme was “Covert”…. and a bunch of my friends and I agree that this is a pretty solid box.
This month, the box, when broken down, looks like a a computer screen and a keyboard. On the screen is a puzzle to solve and a web address. If you go to the address, solve the initial puzzle, and answer the remaining questions correctly, you become an evil henchman, with your reward coming in April. No idea what the reward is, but it was a fun little thing to complete.
Now, let’s take a look at this month’s offerings.
1. Bond: This Is Stirred T-Shirt (Loot Crate Labs)- Loot Crate Exclusive
Loot Crate knocked it out of the park with this exclusive shirt. Love it. You can never go wrong with Bond.
2. Field Agent Blink Time Wrist Watch (50 Fifty Gifts)- Loot Crate Exclusive
This watch is really covert, and pretty sweet. Display can only be seen after the face is pushed, and then disappears a few seconds later. Awesome exclusive.
3. Replica Agents of Shield Lanyard (EFX Collectibles)- Loot Crate Exclusive
Okay, with this exclusive, the fan in me and the collector in me are at odds… do I wear this around? Or do i keep it as a collectible with the COA? UGH! #firstworldproblems
4. Paracord Survival Bracelet (Loot Crate Labs)- Loot Crate Exclusive
I don’t wear bracelets, but this is a pretty cool design. I have a friend that makes these, actually. I don’t know if I would ever take it apart to use in an emergency, but I guess it could happen.
5. Spy Mad Libs
I loved playing Mad Libs when I was growing up, but admittedly I have not done them in a while. I think this might be put aside for one of my vacations this summer when i hang out with my friends. Pretty sweet.
6. Orphan Black Comic Book (IDW Publishing)- Loot Crate Exclusive
I am not into Orphan Black, but I know a lot of friends who are, and this variant is right up their alley.
7. Special Agent Dossier Notebook 2-pack (Field Notes)- Loot Crate Exclusive
At times, I take down a lot of notes: about upcoming projects, stuff to do, random ideas or memories, etc. Having extra notebooks on hand is a good thing.
Overall, I think this a very fun crate this month, filled with exclusives and a bunch of fun stuff I might have picked up otherwise. Best crate out there? No, but def better than last month’s “REPLAY” or last year’s “FEAR” crate.
