I didn’t see another thread dedicated to the innards of the Loot Crate that’s shipping now. I just got mine in the mail today.
I’m mixed on it, there’s a couple cool items in it, but it’s a very light crate. For those that haven’t received theirs, it comes with the typical Pin, Poster, shirt, and only two other items. I did finally get my first gold pin, so that was really exciting!
The items themselves are really cool. I was really hoping they would do a Flood Plush, and the Needler pens are really cool. It just doesn’t feel like it warrants the price tag. I’ve been hoping for an excellent crate like the first two crates were, but every other month they are looking more and more wimpy.
That doesn’t retract from how cool the plush and the pens are by any means, I just really hope the next crate has more to it.

That moment of opening the crate and seeing the stuff you’ve been waiting for is too good to spoil for everyone. Definitely let me know your thoughts! I wanna hear what other people think about it.
I honestly only really buy the crates for the figures and the shirts. Everything else is meh to me. I could take it or leave it kinda deal. I can’t wait for the next crate! The Great Journey! The figure already is AMAZING! it reminds me of a McFarlane figure they did at launch of H3!
I personally think the needle pens are a bit ridiculous. Like really pens? The plush has already become a cat toy lol my cat stole if from me when i opened and was playing with it all night last night it was pretty funny.
Mine came a day earlier than planned, woohoo! Now I have a new Halo shirt to wear during my playthrough of CoD tonight lol.
Following suit, here my thoughts are below as I wait on my oven to pre-heat.
Definitely would agree that this was a pretty light one. I got a gold pin as well, which I believe is my second or third - kinda surprising for someone who has garbage luck in things like these. I actually prefer this shirt to other ones, the play on it being an exterminator’s logo is pretty fun - they probably should’ve worked in the extermination medal somehow too, IMO.
The plush is fun and new, kinda wish it didn’t have the velcro though, it seems a little useless and hard to stick and stay. The pens would be really cool if there were a little more work gone into either them or the pen case. I feel like a really cool pen case might make up for the fact that the pens are the definition of meh. I will probably never use these pens.
I like the figure, it’s probably the second largest one they’ve done only a little smaller than the Hunter one.
I keep forgetting they include a Gold REQ pack too, which is totally useless to me but it’s a nice bonus. Wish the DLC was always a bit more on the exclusive side, but I just like exclusives.

I felt the same and canceled my order last month. Can’t say I regret it, this month’s crate’s figure and t-shirt where disappointing in my opinion. Didn’t buy it myself, but I’ve watched a few un-boxing videos and the items just don’t appeal to me all that much.

I thought the Plush was cool, but could have been done better. The pens are cool, but feel like a letdown. I like the shirts and the figures, but the other items are just as important to me. I still use my Plasma Grenade Mug daily. last month felt a little light too, but the Ammo Bag overnight bag was cool enough to offset that feeling.

The Shirt is really cool. I was rocking it on Friday. I’m glad they decided to make it humorous, I was honestly expecting a shirt that looked like a Flood infected Marine or something, similar to the weird Keyes Shirt in the third Crate. I’m surprised that they went with a shotgun and not a medal like the first set of crates focused on. It’s cool, but a shotgun isn’t as instantly Halo as one of the in-game medals. I agree on the pen case, the Pens would have been really cool if they included a display holder or a cool case, I like them a lot, but it feels super low budget.
I’m glad they did a Flood plush, I was hoping they would. I wish they would have put a little more effort into it, the Velcro is unneeded, and I wish the feet were a little better made. I wish they would have went for the beanie baby style plush instead.
The figure is actually really cool. I didn’t think I would like it very much with the pics they showed, but it looks a lot better in person. I like that the infection form doesn’t attach to the figures base, and can be sat on any of the previous figures.
Thanks for reminding me to redeem my REQ Pack! That’ll make for a nice surprise on this dreary Monday morning.

I use my mug every day! I love that thing! I also was excited about the overnight bag i have been meaning to buy own recently so another win. But this box was just meh. Nothing stood out to me. . .

The mug is really cool, and it’s really well made. the overnight bag is perfect sized and is just a cool addition, especially with how much I go out of town. Hopefully the next crate brings more cool items. I would still really like another Fireteam Apollo crate, similar to the first one.
