Loot Crate October 2014 Subscription Box Review - "Fear"

Disclaimer: This post contains referral links.

Loot Crate is a monthly geek and gamer subscription box, and for less than $20 a month, you can get 6-8 geek and gamer items (valuing $40+ in retail price), varying from t-shirts, snacks, toys, and more!


October Loot Crate

Cost: $19.37 (per month)
Ships to: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, U.K., and the U.S.

Ships via: USPS

This is my last Loot Crate box (maybe that's why I received this box early?). I did not review September's Loot Crate because I was just really disappointed with it.

Let's move onto the box, shall we?

Here are the items inside the box:

October's Loot Crate Magazine



Toxic Candy Waste (Bonus item)


Sledgesaw Hammer Pen by Capcom and Loot Crate Exclusive: Oh man, I don't think I would use this pen. I'd just keep it in the box so I can stare at it.

How to Survive a Sharknado Book by Random House ($14.99)


"OH, BROTHER" Art Print by SuperEmoFriends



Slashes & Bites Tattoos by Loot Crate Labs

Smite Gift Card by Super7 and Loot Crate Exclusive: Hm... I may use the code. Smite sort of reminds me of League of Legends...

3D Glasses

Japan Crate October 2014 Subscription Box Review

Japan Crate is a monthly Asian snack subscription box. Monthly, JapanCrate will send you at least two pounds of Japanese snacks. Including a DIY kit!


Cost: $12.00 (mini) / $25.00 (original) / $30.00 (premium)
Ships to: All around the world. (Free shipping in the U.S. / $15 shipping fee internationally)
Ships via: USPS. JapanCrate ships on the 5th of every month.

With Japan Crate's recent changes, they have created new box sizes; a mini box, original box, and a premium box. Read more here and here.



Let's move onto the box, shall we?

First look

Here are the items inside the box:


Bento Popin Cookin DIY Candy (Tsukurou Obento) : I'm really excited for this DIY! I was hoping to receive this. I didn't eat this (I had fun making it), so the flavors I can remember are: the egg is lemon flavored and broccoli is grape.


Milkita Green Melon (Milkshake Candy Melon)

Gilco Fortune Gum: The gum flavor reminds me of the Flavor Burst Bubblegum. As for the game part of the candy, all you do is shake the box (like you're praying) until a stick of gum comes out.

Flavor Burst Bubblegum: I've received this item from September's OiishiBox.

Kabaya Hello Kitty Ichigo Pretzel: This reminds me of Pocky, but with a thinner coat of strawberry.

Meiji Cake Fruit Gummy (Meiji Kurukuru Cakeyasan): Please use something to scoop out the gummies! They're really sticky, but it was fun to play around with the shapes.


Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Energy Drink (Sonic Blue Raspberry flavor): I like how in the premium boxes, you get a drink. But I'm not a fan of energy drinks, so I'll give this to someone I know.

Chelsea Butterscotch: This candy reminds me of Wrether's Original.


Lotte Salt Caramel

Kabaya Saku Saku Panda: I loved this! Each panda comes with different faces, and wow. It just tasted good. Reminds me of the mushroom chocolates.

Furata Sequoia Matcha Chocolate Biscuit Bar: This tastes like a green tea flavored Kit-Kat.


Overall: I really enjoyed most of the items in the box!
