J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World Crate Review + Coupon – January 2018

Anyone still have the scarf and want to sell it?

MSA Please update your followers that this box now only contains 4-6 items. If I didn’t know, I’d want someone to tell me. In the event that people want to cancel because of it.

Seriously disappointed by this box, it was really late and only after I asked how to cancel my subscription I got an email with the shipping info (I’m in the UK as well so have to avoid spoilers) for a few days before but wasn’t sent it. Tiny box which made my heart sink, four items when it’s advertised as 5-7. It really didn’t seem value for money, I don’t really get the whole pin thing and I’m not a fan of them so seemed like only three items to me.
I emailed them and this was their response –

Thank you for your message. The J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World Crate, themed the Ties that Bind Us, did include four items rather than the normal 5-7 items. These items have a higher value, something that our Looter community has given us their feedback on in regards to items included in the crates. We value your feedback and our brand team is making active decisions as a result.

From what I’ve seen I don’t know anyone that’s asked for higher value items and it would of made sense to let subscribers know so they know what they’re paying for as I would of cancelled mine if id known.

Big let down.

Does anyone know which Horcrux pins were already sent? I wasn’t sure if I missed any/how many more to expect. Thanks!

So disappointing. Late by so long that I didn’t get a chance to cancel my sub.
It clearly states a minimum of 6 items per box, so unless they are including the box itself and the terrible printed letter, not what was paid for.

Oh man, as a nonsubscriber, the comments have taught me I’m not missing out, but I’m a little obsessed with that Black family tree scarf! If anyone is looking to offload it… 🙂

I too was disappointed. I do like the items and have worn the broach and used the scarf. Not sure what to do with the tie….perhaps use it as a headband? (I don’t have any collared shirts lol) But with the delay, seeing the small box when it arrived certainly did not bring a smile to my face, I felt let down prior to opening it. I guess I am used to more items for the price of the sub. And while the items were quality it did not really feel exciting or themed.
My tummy is already dropping as I know the next delay notice will arrive as soon as the next theme closes.
I have also noticed a drop in the items in the Firefly crate, with those delays as well it is just starting to make me sad to have these 2 subs despite the fact that I really do enjoy most of the items.
I have a feeling that Loot Crate will go the way of the Nerd Block group and Funko boxes and stop the subs. Perhaps they over stretched themselves?

This was my first Wizarding World crate and even though I love the items in it, I still feel rather cheated – the landing page says 5-7 items and on top this was almost 2 months late. When I got my other Loot box (the Loot Crate DX box) one item was shipped separately so it would be sent out on time AND they included an extra item in each box and gave us a 15% off code for the shop. They just gave us a $15 credit in the shop for the lateness. Though the pin is fabulous and I love the scarf and book (I already have one house tie), I still feel this is rather just tossed together at last thought since I didn’t really see how much of anything fit besides the Black family tree. I think something showing the different relationships would’ve been a lot better. I get how the wands and tie fit, but they still seem like they were reaching a bit. That’s just me though. I will still continue to subscribe for another month or two to let them redeem themselves since I have two other Loot boxes and order their Special Edition ones each time so I know what to expect with Loot Crate. This was really not on par with their standards.

Why was my comment not posted? I simply thanked Eric for writing a great review, and added that the Black family tree was not true to its description in the book, which disappointed me.

This was my first box. I am extremely disappointed not only with the extremely late shipping but with the number of items and the items themselves. I requested to be refunded for the remaining crates and received an email that I would be getting a refund. I have several other loot subs and have felt let down lately with most of them.

I liked everything, but was also disappointed with the small number of items. I really look forward to this box and am so sad when it’s late. Did MSA reach out to LootCrate about the number of items?

I just paid for a full year of this sub for both me and both of my kids (they paid part of their subs with their own Christmas gift money). I hope this isn’t the kind of quality we’re going to get all year, or they are going to regret their Christmas money purchase.

I’m glad it wasn’t just me that was a little disappointed. I wonder if these were the only intended items or if they readjusted because something fell through. It’s just a bummer to get a box a month late and only have 4 items, one of which…the tie for me…is unusable. Oh well. At least the quality is still there. Hopefully this month is better. Have they sent a delay notification yet?
