Average Guy Reviews

Everyone loves decorating the ole work station. While my inventory is not as vast as Andrew's here are some of the things scattered in my office, enjoy!

The Loot Crate theme for this month has me very excited! I am a huge fan of the horror genre, so this should be a solid box, if they do it right. Each box now contains a t-shirt, and I'd be happy with any one of these movies/shows printed on there. I'm very much a fan of the mini figures they have shipped in the past, which has come to be almost a standard, in some close form at least. I'm clearing a place on my shelf now! I'm disappointed to not see anything Halloween, since that's my favorite horror series, but they don't reveal everything upfront, so maybe I'll get lucky??? You can order this month's box until October 19th, and boxes arrive to your doorstep shortly after that deadline. When my box arrives, I will be recording and posting an unboxing....my first ever! Stay tuned for more details!

While people have always been interested in collecting, in recent years the market has skyrocketed, mainly targeting kids from the 80's, 90's, and 00's. That trend is even present in the games, movies, and TV shows that are re-released, rebooted, sequeled, and even prequeled. These children are now adults and they have money to burn. Hey, I'm not saying this as a bad thing, but it's the targeted truth. There are many varying levels of collector, from the beginner, to the hardcore. My income is limited with a family, so I only pick the best of the best, from my favorite pop culture items. Would I love to have a $300 Sideshow collectible statue adorning my shelf? Hell yes! Do I want the Limited Edition of every game that releases? Sign me up! To some, that is their passion, and what they save for. I like to spread my moola around, to try and get a little bit of everything. The newest trend, which expands beyond entertainment, is the "Mystery Box". Some people like them, and some don't. Personally, I love them! First of all, I love a good mystery and surprise. Second, the items usually include more than one specific area. I have looked into many of them, but settled on Loot Crate exclusively, at the moment. There are some months I'm not impressed, but others, I am smiling from ear to ear. There is so much out there in the world of collectibles, that you can stumble across something new every day! For me, that is a thrill. One of our goals is to highlight some of the really cool items in entertainment, so hold onto your wallets! This could be an expensive ride...
