So you'll probably remember me hemming and hawing last month about my feelings towards Loot Crate To be honest, I cancelled my membership shortly after I wrote it Then something magical happened…I got an email that mentioned the following: Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and I really didn't need to see anything else[...]

An Age Of Ultron grudge match! Cool design! The exclusive cover version of Guardians Team Up #1, drawn by the incomparable Arthur Adams. Because everyone needs Adams to draw Groot! Even the inside of the box is covered in Marvelness. Loot Crate seems to have lost the exclusive Funko deal- but Marvel have stepped up! Hannah tells me that[...]

Here's a semi-regaular look at what is coming your way from some of the bigger guys.. There's 24 hours to sign up to the new Loot Crate, with a Fantasy theme for April Bleeding Cool readers get an extra discount with the code BLEEDINGCOOL We don't know if there is an exclusive variant comic in this month's[...]

It's always a happy day when a Loot Crate shows up on your doorstep! This month's Loot Crate theme was Covert, and I'm here to spoil all of the contents for you. Team Loot Crate wrote about their spy oriented theme by saying, If you're reading this message, Agent 1337, your COVERT status has been compromised and[...]

We guessed last month that the Covert issue of March 2015's Loot Crate would have an Orphan Black #1 comic exclusive variant from IDW – a variant cover that is probably ten to twenty times more common now than the regular cover of the comic… But it also contains a digital code for Ninjak #1 from Valiant[...]

We broke the story this morning on how Orphan Black #1 took the top place for the sales charts in February, thanks to its expected inclusion in March's Loot Crate (Order here, get added discount with the BLEEDINGCOOL code) Well now that position is offiical with the Diamond charts for February 2015, below. But Marvel shouldn't be[...]

If you recall, we ran a piece on Loot Crate's March offerings, speculating that there may be an exclusive copy of the IDW comic book Orphan Black #1 in there, and wondering what the effect on the market might be as a result. Well, I think we can take this as evidence that there is one. We[...]

It's always a happy day when a Loot Crate shows up on your doorstep! This month's Loot Crate theme was Play, and I'm here to spoil all of the contents for you! Team Loot Crate wrote in their introduction: Playing keeps the imagination primed, which not only helps us feel younger, but inspires creativity! Whether you like[...]

Loot Crate's March subscription box has a certain secret agent feel. March's Loot Crate™ is a jam-packed collection of items inspired by COVERT operations! We have compiled a crate inspired by secret agents, femme fatales, power-hungry madmen, and their really cool gadgets! Among the assets included is an EXCLUSIVE licensed prop replica from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., an Orphan Black item you can get no[...]

Okay, can't deny it, we're all in to Loot Crate over at Bleeding Cool Towers The subscription box that causes havoc in the comic book charts every other month and is possibly one of the most biggest comic book outreach programmes going has just added a new deal. The Year Subscription $215.40, a discount of $24 off[...]

Loot Crate's February subscription service doesn't at the moment, look like it has a comic book in it Yet. But it does appear to have a KidRobot vinyl figure, which always gets folks excited The theme is "Play" – and that includes references to "tabletop to video, board games, card games, RPGs, desk toys and more"[...]

It was only a matter of time before I gave into the Loot Crate phenomenon After seeing so many awesome months of photos from other people, I caved and signed up When my box arrived I excitedly opened it, and was pleasantly surprised by what I found inside. January's theme was "Rewind," a look back at[...]

We thought this was coming And it is Loot Crate get[...]

Loot Crate doesn't ship to every country in the world But they now can add have France, Finland and New Zealand to that list. As a Brit I do have to warn, it may take a few more days from their Canadian warehouses than it does to, say, New Jersey, but I'm happy enough. And new customers willing[...]

Amazing Spider-Man #1 was only given away in Nerd Block (40-50,000 subscribers) while Rocket Raccoon and Walking Dead were in Loot Crate (250-300,000 subscribers) but it managed to get more elsewhere to pip them both to the top of Best Selling Comic Book of 2014 – in the comic book direct market via Diamond Comic[...]

We'd identified 63 covers for Marvel's relaunch of Star Wars #1. Well, this looks like a potential 64th. Subscription service Loot Crate have announced their details for their January crate. With the start of 2015 upon us we wanted the first crate of the new year to celebrate the geek and gaming icons of the past[...]

Register. Then search for Groupon and go there. Then search for Loot Crate. With both promotions combined, you will get December's Loot Crate, with an exclusive Batman #36 and an exclusive Batman Funko Pop Vinyl for $9.40, as opposed to the usual $19.37. The deadline is today. Good luck! First sign up for eBates if you haven't already[...]

It will probably be at a similar level. But CBR has revealed that December's Loot Crate will ship with an exclusive cover variant of Batman #36 Since DC Comics are obliged to sell such items though Diamond, it should appear in its numbers for December And with an estimated quarter of a million subscribers, it is[...]

Okay, so December has an exclusive Funko Pop vinyl figure in Loot Crate's biggest crate to date. The subscription box of stuff for geeks has something Avengers-related for Marvel and Batman-related for DC Comics. If one of them is a comic book, expect that to distort the comic book charts for the month, as it did for Rocket Raccoon[...]

But let's say if, just if, Saga #24 sold around the same as Saga #23  and using the estimated figures of ICV2 (which do not include non-North American stats) then a single percentage point is worth around 1200 sales. And Batman #35, buoyed by the Endgame promotion, sold 120,000. It's a guess, but on that basis, Walking Dead[...]

So where did the rest of the marketshare go? Well, as we previously pointed out, Image Comics took 12.28% of comics sold and 9.77% of dollars spent, a significant 2-4 point jump, and both Dark Horse and IDW both put on a point or to each as week. The top selling book however, as we predicted, was[...]

The new Loot Crate subscription box for October includes a variant edition of this month's issue of The Walking Dead #132 Given that around 150,000 of these boxes go out and that these orders for Diamond exclusive publishers such as Image go through Diamond, they should be adding these numbers on top of the comic's[...]

We've been noting how the inclusion of a comic book in a subscription box, such as Loot Crate or Nerd Block, can significantly affect the recorded dales of a comic, with both Amazing Spider-Man #1 and Rocket Raccoon #1 seeing significant bumps Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor and The Eleventh Doctor #1 also did rather[...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B24h1SYIxEc So there's Firefly stuff in the next LootCrate subscription box. So that's why they've made this fan film. Or

Here is the unboxing of one of the items, appearing in the next Nerd Block subscription packages.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS4tix1rYr0 Yes, a

Subscripton collection boxes, they are all this rage! And this is what August's LootCrate got you. An exclusive Groot Funko Pop, a TMNT toy, TMNT

We suggested it may be a subscription service such as Nerd Block, Loot Crate or Geek Box at work. And we were right Nerd Block. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grsUvvhbUdU[/youtube] Including a Nerd Block exclusive cover for The Tenth Doctor #1 and The Eleventh Doctor #1. And, unlike Marvel with Rocket Raccoon #1 and Amazing Spider-Man #1, because Titan Comics are not Diamond exclusive, Titan[...]

But it seems to have set a precedent. Today, the online subscription store Loot Crate have been telling comic publishers  that they have ordered a significant amount of the previously reported 300,000 orders for Rocket Raccoon #1. CBR reported roughly 100,000 copies but I have direct sources that tell me that Loot Crate are claiming 150,000 orders[...]
