Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box for geeks and gamers. Each month they include themed collectibles and shirts - they've moved towards a mostly exclusive model - so you can't get most of these items/variants anywhere else!
January's theme was Discover.

January 2018 Loot Crate Review
The January 2018 Loot Crate featured items from 4 franchises - The X-Files, Rick and Morty, Westworld, and Harry Potter.
2 things to note about the presentation - it looks like they've definitely done away with the extra little box inversions and the monthly booklet. If those cuts get me the box on time, then I can live with it! If you miss the booklet - you can find a digital version here.
Instead of the booklet, you'll get a basic information card. I guess I'm just a little surprised at how basic, un-branded, and no-fun the card is. It doesn't feel very Loot Crate to me.
Westworld Pin - Value $5?
Each month still arrives with a themed pin - and this month's pin also features Westworld.
Your subscription also gets you some digital loot to be on the lookout for:
You'll get 3 free comics, some free Westworld bonus digital content, and 20% off of season one at Vudu.
OK - on to the loot!
Rick and Morty Shirt - Value $15?
Um. Yes, please! I'm so pumped for this month's exclusive design! We all know there's a lot going on in Rick's brain, this gives you a tiny glimpse inside.
Westworld SuperEmoScenes Diorama - Value $20?
This is yet another entry into the Loot Crate Artist Series and again features a 3D version of the art of SuperEmoFriends' artist J Salvador.
These dioramas arrive in pieces but are simple to snap together.
It's about 4.5 inches tall when constructed - and will partner nicely with your Stranger Things scenes!
The case always has a little bit of extra information about the artist, if you're looking to find more artwork. I'm hoping to see more stuff from different artists this year.
Harry Potter Socks - Value $10-12?
The Harry Potter item is a pair of house sigil socks.
These fit pretty nicely, not too tight, and have been fine for me in the cold.
They feature the sorting hat - with all of the house represented.
X-Files Card Game - Value $10?
The final item in the box features The X-Files.
"Circle Of Truth" is a little X-Files based card game.
It comes with instruction to get you up and running. I do like that it arrives in a government badge-type holster.
Verdict: I was incredibly let down by the December shipment - this delivery is much better in terms of value and items. I am loving the shirt - it's probably my favorite Rick and Morty design that I own. I was happy to add the diorama to my collection - and, well, socks are kinda my thing - so I was happy with that. More importantly, this one arrived as expected - while they're still having shipping issues with other lines, hopefully, this is the start of something more solid for the core crate - still, if you aren't alright with possible delays, I'd steer clear until they have a better track record.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, You'll see the current them on the landing page - theme cutoffs are the 19th of each month at midnight EST.
