I picked up the Crash Bandicoot Loot Box at Best Buy today!

If you know me (learn from my streams - g1immer's twitch channel), I love love love my 90's nostalgia. I also love material things - especially ones involving my love for 90's nostalgia! Well, I was browsing twitter the other day and what popped up at me was this: A Numskull Crash Bandicoot Loot Box. I''m usually not a fan of lot boxes, but what was cool about this one was:

1. It's from Numskull who I follow on twitter! They make so many cool products based on Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot that I've never picked u before. They also do free re-tweet contests (not sure if anyone ever wins 'cause I never see a "winners" tweet but hey).
2. Gotta love that Crash Bandicoot...
3. This loot box SHOWS you what you get, so you aren't blindly spending your money on it.

I'm a huge Crash Bandicoot fan and I love that Activision is turning their game into a huge merch storm like they did with Spyro's Skylanders and so on...nah, I kid! Sort of. But, honestly I don't mind ('cause I want more Spyro merch)!

After seeing it was a Best Buy exclusive, I popped into my nearest store after work and browsed around until I found it. I also found a $70.00 painted Crash statue (see here) and a Crash and Cortex little plushie (see here), which I did not pick up. I'm not huge on the first 4 figures Crash figure (although the Spyro one looks AMAZING - I mean look at this thing!) and the kidrobot plushes didn't grab my attention. However, the little Crash Bandicoot loot box crate that can fit in the palm of my outstretched hand was placed in front of the cash register.

What was included:

1 sturdy cardboard "crate" box
1 3 inch Crash Bandicoot bottle opener + 1 4 inch by 3 1/2 inch forest plastic art backdrop
1 sticker sheet including 7 stickers - "Crash Bandicoot" logo, Wumpa Fruit, Crash head icon (in-game level-up), Aku Aku, Crate, numskull logo, and Crash Bandicoot
3 Coasters - Jump crate, Nitro crate and TNT crate
1 Crash Bandicoot mug

So, you might have come here to hear if this $30.00 loot box is worth it. I will give you my honest answer - yes. You may go now. If you want to hear every little detail I have in my brain about the products, then stick around. I will post detailed pictures, gifs, websites, etc. so you can touch your computer screen and feel the product yourself! See you later!

Love,
Glimmer

g1immer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 5: Crate Crash - Coasters For Part 5, we take a look at the $10 three pack of Crate coasters included in the Crash Crate. As you can see from the above image, the coasters are bright colors and stand out, especially on my black coffee table. They are also very big and could easily hold a large McDonald's cup. I will talk more in-depth about the size late. You know the drill, I will also conclude today's post explaining if I think they are worth the price point listed on the packaging strip done by numskull's marketing team no doubtingly.  Let's talk about the material these three coasters are made of. As soon as you touch one, you will know exactly what what the material is - it is rubber! Sorry, I guess you can't touch them if you haven't gotten your hands on a Crash Crate yet. The rubber is flexible and sticks nicely to firm surfaces. I've never had a c...

Today's Discussion is on..Nose Bleeds! Don't worry - I have no pictures to post! Time for a typical glimmer rant! I took my evening shower as I always do (I'm on a nice schedule: wake up > go to work > eat breakfast > work some more > eat lunch > work some more > go home > work out > eat dinner > stream/write/play games > have a little snack > shower > sleep). Suddenly, out of the blue (more like out of my nose har har), my nose started bleeding! If you've had nose bleeds before, you can always tell right before you get one - you smell blood, you may even taste it and you just know. The worst part about nose bleeds is that three seconds you take figuring out which nostril it is - even though it should be easy it's a 50% chance you will plug your right one. In the shower, it is way worse to figure it out because your sense of smell is off with the steam and the water gets on your hands...it's just a mess (or no it's ...

Today's Discussion is on..National Something Or Other Day! Part 1 - National Toasted Marshmallow Day So, I have a calendar in my room that my ex's mother gave to me for a birthday or Christmas and it tells me what the National day is today! I absolutely love it, even though it does bring up some mixed feelings to type about it right now to the public...Anyways! I will probably post many days for us to discuss. This day in particular made me think of my old days in Girl Scouts, camping and of course, the main topic, roasted outdoor treats. I went from loving S'mores, to disliking them, to loving them again, then to eating only the roasted marshmallow out of them. What do I prefer today? I'm not really sure! It has probably been a good 5+ years since I had a S'more. I will tell you all the stories of my past and the times I remember those sugary good nights. A long time ago, your girl glimmer was in Girl Scouts. Honestly, I was a pretty good follower and...
