They also offer a Bundle and Save for Socks & Wearable starting at $20.99 or Accessories & T-Shirt starting at $19.99.

Checking Out Loot Crate's Loot Pets Box of Geeky Goodies for Your Pet

We finally got our hands on Loot Crate's Loot Pets Box. This is the March Versus themed box. The majority of the items in this box are for dogs. We're going to unbox this like we do with all of our boxes that we get every month. This is our first Loot Pets box so needless to say we couldn't wait to open it up and see what's inside. We were more excited for the box than our dog was lol.

Silicon Valley Comic Con 2016 Recap

Silicon Valley Comic Con has come and gone. For the first show, it was pretty good. Lots of interesting things to look at on the exhibit floor and a good amount of panels throughout the 3-day show. The show was packed during the weekend. On Friday. as it was preview night and only open for a few hours was crowded but not bad.

There were exhibits from Rancho Obi-Wan which featured Star Wars items and next to it was items from Stan Lee's Museum featuring artwork and props from various Marvel Comics and movies etc... Finally there was the Cartoon Museum Exhibit which wasn't done with set up on Friday and we forgot to go back during the weekend to get some pictures.

Checking out the Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty Cantina Box

Funko announced that the Cantina Box would have 2 new POP! Sculpts but what they didn't tell you until after the boxes shipped was that there was also a chase POP! sculpt which would technically make it 3 new sculpts because the chase POP! is a bit bigger than the regular version. (we'll reveal the POP! figures further down this post)

So as you know the Theme for the Smuggler's Bounty box this month is Cantina. Ah the good 'ol Cantina!... Grab a drink and read on for our unboxing...

Super7 Mission Store Grand Opening Recap

We made it to Super7's Mission Store Grand Opening this past Friday evening. The layout of the store was very nice and different compared to their store on Haight St. They had their Star Wars and MOTU wallpaper on their walls along with various vintage movie posters, skateboard decks etc... What makes this store different than the one on Haight St. is that the Mission store will carry only Super7 products.
