    This may be a dopey question but I was google-ing it, and it looks like the pictures for the different months here on their site (and in the OP's picture) are pictures of all the itmes that *might* be in the crate, but you actually get only 1 of the figures or so, as opposed to everything in the picture...
    At first glance it looked like you get everything in the picture (which would be too good to be true)
    Is that right (just checking !!) ?

    There are some things shown in the pics where you'll get one of a few possibilities.

    Eg that August Crate - you only got 1 of the turtles, along with everything else shown
    July - got everything shown
    June - 1 transformer toy, everything else
    May - 1 tin, 1 toy, everything else

    depends whether you like that stuff. Me, I love it. 6 month sign up, 145 bucks with the save10 code, XE.com shows 114 euro which will probably be about 120 on the card.

    I throw out anything I don't use on an annual basis. I don't like clutter nor things without an immediate use. This stuff falls into both categories.

    I think I would use orange plastic sunglasses in the shape of a Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles mask almost every single day.

    I dont throw out things that I dont use on an annual basis. I dont mind clutter or things that may not have an immediate use as long as they are of an interest to me. This stuff falls into both categories.

    edit: Post crossed. hate the haters. love the orange sunglasses and the go faster stripes on the runners.

    Strange - I would have though your comments in this thread fall in to the "things without an immediate use" category

    They like to send a lot of promotional emails. I've gotten 4 since signing up a few days ago.

    Id be interested if they weren't so focused on those stupid plastic figurines of characters from tv/film with the giant heads, but that seems to be industry wide these days, Sub City/Forbidden Planet packed to the rafters with them, every convention 50% of the trade stands devoted to them and yet I don't know anyone who actually buys these things...

    They're just so pointless, and why are they so big? They could be the size of Lego figurines and not lose anything. Give proper models that you could display on a shelf not this kiddie crap.

    Ashens reviews them every month anyway, thats enough for me.

    Every video on that channel is brilliant if you haven't heard of him before by the way...

    If somebody's not interested in the
    Curse Voice code for the game 'Smite'
    here's a thread of fellow boardsies who may be interested.
    I'd suggest privately messaging the code - internet bots hoover up codes posted publicly.

    This post is not entirely selfless,
    I'd appreciate a code if there's one going.
    :D

    No overly impressed by the contents this month. Had a look at a YouTube video and its mostly meh. I thought one of the items was a pizza cutter
    but turns out its just a pen
    . Remember this a recurring subscription even if you only buy one month. I signed up for 3 months (Oct-Dec) then unsubscribed. Hoping December being Christmas will be good

    It's safe to unsub now is it? It won't cancel the rest and refund your money?

    It looks like a really good idea, I might get a month and try it out, thanks OP for sharing :)

    Yeah its safe, takes them 48+ hours to cancel. No cancel sub button you have to mail them so don't leave it until its too late. I'm not a fan of these rolling subscriptions that you have to jump through hoops to cancel.

    Email from them.
    Sorry to see you go! I have set your subscription to cancel at the end of the current period so you're all set. Since you have already been charged you will receive this crate but will not be charged again moving forward. Please note your account will be active through the end of your current subscription period. On the date currently shown as an upcoming renewal, the subscription will be updated to reflect the canceled status. Also, if you would ever like to rejoin us in the future, just send us a message and we can easily get your account reactivated.

    Might be best to wait until a day or two before. Some people get them early and then post the contents like this month and you can still get it.

    Just came downstairs to my loot crate waiting for me. Avoided spoilers so I'm looking forward to seeing what's in it.

    Really fast ship times, plus the tracking I was given never worked for me so never expected it.

    If you signed up for 3 months can you cancel now? Or will this affect my next two crates?

    You can cancel and you will still get the crates you have paid for however you need to email them to cancel, there is no way to do it through the control panel.

    Got mine this morning.
    LOVE the t-shirt :D and that apple sweet thing was probably one of the most sour things I have ever eaten!
