Loot Crate Animation Unboxing

We were unfortunately in the group of people that had our Loot Crate delayed due to a shortage in T-shirts for this month's crate. So we got our crate in mid-August just as the August Crate was closing. Disappointed that this box took so long to arrive.

Another note is that our (non-regular) mail carrier that delivered this box decided to shove/squish this into our mailbox and slightly crushed our crate but luckily nothing was broken. As a huge animation fan, this box was definitely worth the wait.
