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

Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon! Part 1 - Favorite Pokemon As a disclosure, my "least favorite" Pokemon, that I may totally bash on for their looks, use, moveset, etc. are just because of my history with that Pokemon. If your favorite makes the list - I'm sorry! This is just an opinion of mine. I also, personally believe that, as there are some flawed designs for Pokemon out there, no one generation should be looked at in a bad light. As a creator myself, I understand that coming with brand new ideas isn't always easy and some ideas may be generally loved (example: Mimikyu) and some may be generally hated (example: Garbador). As the saying goes - "you win some, you lose some.' Here we go! Let's start with the positives! Be sure to check out my twitter page for a bigger look at the image above. If you are interested in taking the quiz yourself, I will link it in this text right here! First off, the two ...

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...

glimmer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 1: Crash Crate - Box Today we will be discussing the Crash Bandicoot Loot Box from numskull and Activision, known as the "Crash Crate". In articular, we are looking at the box itself. After all, all the goodies had to come in something fun and Crash Bandicoot-related, right? As you can see from the above image, the crate fits all of the items inside perfectly. When first opened, the mug was wrapped in bubble wrap. The piece of thick paper with a jungle image was combined with the Crash bottle opener, wrapped in a thin layer of plastic. Besides the missing plastic and bubble wrap, the above image does a good job of showing you all what it looked like when first opening the box. Now, let's talk about the design (my favorite part of the discussion). I pulled the above image off the fan-made Crash Bandicoot Wiki,  Bandipedia . God, you gotta love the names of these wikipe...
