Loot Wear Unite 2.0 Unpacking

Here's is the Loot Wear Unite 2.0 Unpacking pictures. We received this a week before Christmas so with Christmas and the Holidays, we didn't have the time to unpack this to see what's inside until now. Pretty sure everyone has seen the items. If not, great! Check out our pictures below:

Loot Pets Greatest Hits Vol. 1 Unboxing

This is the second to last Loot Pets box which was themed Greatest Hits Vol. 1 which featured some of their best items from Loot Pets throughout it's run. Yes, sadly Loot Pets is ending with one more box for December. Unfortunately, we received November's box in December so that means we'll be receiving the December and Final Loot Pets crate in January. We do not know the reason why their crates etc... have not been arriving by the 28th of each month. The items inside this box could be different than the one that you received as there was no specific item revealed in the postcard with this box. All the information we were given was that there are 2 Treats, 1 Toy, 2 Accessories and 1 Charm. Our unboxing pictures below:

Unpacking the Loot Wear/LVL UP Futuristic Package

We're unpacking the July's LVL UP / Loot Wear "Futuristic" package. All the LVL UP items comes in a padded envelope. So we really can't say unboxing when it's not a box. We didn't receive a guide/list of what was inside the package this month which is odd but we figured out most of what the items are etc...

Toynami Announces SDCC 2015 Exclusives

Robotech GBP-1 - Stealth Fighter - Heavy Armor
In honor of Robotech’s 30th Anniversary, Toynami is excited to present the Heavy Armor GBP-1 Stealth Fighter 1:100 Scale figure. It is fully articulated just like the classic 1:100 transformables, and can be converted into Fighter, Battloid or Gerwalk modes. The Armored Veritech GBP-1S system allows a single VF-1 fighter to wield the artillery firepower of an entire squadron. The armor is able to withstand several withering barrages from enemy fire, but prevents the Veritech from transforming into fighter mode, and must be jettisoned if the pilot needs maneuverability. *Heavy Armor accessories can only be used in Battloid mode.
•             Retail Price: $99
•             Limited to 1000 pieces
•             Size: 6” Tall
•             Available at: Toynami Booth #3229
