 Thanks for checking out this unboxing video I guess maybe I need to speak to the side or this side either way But anyway, this is I'm just gonna put this down. You can see this is the Mass Effect Andromeda box. It's a special box by Loot Crate Never unbox the Loot Crate item Or a Loot Crate box of any type on this channel before so this is a first for my experience with a Loot Crate I have had one Loot Crate box in my lifetime Once again, I didn't do a video for it, but Two maybe three years ago. They did a special Loot Crate for the original Mass Effect series I think it was when Mass Effect 3 was out for a little bit And that was really cool. There's some really awesome items in there including My favorite thing a really nice N7 hoodie with like a nice stripe down the arm Still wear that hoodie to this day. So hopefully there's something cool like that in this I think these are I think these are supposed to be all kind of exclusive things. I'm not 100% sure on that One thing about the timing of this crate So they sold it before the Mass Effect Andromeda game came out Which I was pissed off about because I think it was like a whole month or two ahead of time Because I think they pre-sold it in like February and then it ended up coming out like March end of March So I was kind of like, why do we have to wait for this stuff so long? Like Mass Effect Andromeda is coming out in months and then and so they pre-sold it before the game And then it didn't show up until like three months after the game's been out basically So I was just like that's kind of crappy because then you're just like Randomly getting it like honestly, I'd forgotten that I had purchased this at this point I came home from work and it's on my front step. So I was just like, oh, yeah, that's right I purchased this but I will say it was smart on their part to do it ahead of time And here's why because the game had so much hype going into it Which you could sell tons of stuff at that point and then once it actually came out it ended up getting a lot of Backlash I guess is the best way to put it. It was a decent amount of backlash People were kind of upset with like the facial animations and there was a bunch of stuff That wasn't totally good to go with the game. So a lot of people were like, why did you release this product? That's not totally done So I think it was smarter than to pre-sell this before the game came out because then they make sure that they could sell All of them if they would have done it after the game actually came out They may have had a hard time selling this because a lot of that excitement probably died out Me personally I was a huge fan of the original Mass Effect trilogy huge fan loved it So I ordered this and I'm like, yes, hopefully it's close to as good It's Mass Effect and drama is still a good game, but it falls vastly short of Where the original three were so disappointing for that reason, but still a good game in its own right So but anyway not as excited for this box anymore Because the game isn't as great as I wanted it to be but hopefully there's just some good items in here It'll be cool. I think this was like a Sixty no probably more than sixty dollar box. I think it was like a hundred bucks Maybe I know the pretty sure the the one that I did for Mass Effect 3 was like a hundred bucks. So I'm gonna go with that. Oh There might be another hoodie in this there might be another hoodie. So I Guess I'll have to get that out first cuz it's really in the way I'm totally down. I love hoodies love hoodies, especially ones that are designed well and this is Not as nice as the other one Yeah, this is actually not all that nice gotta be honest The design of it look it's like it's just like blue Blue and white which are the colors of the Andromeda initiative in the game. Okay, so that's got like a blue inside Okay So blue and white now here's my problem They have like kind of crappy patch like haphazardly sewed onto the arm and It's really honest. It's not good quality. Oh, no, no, no, no actually let me um Yeah, this kind of a crappy hoodie gotta be honest. Um, I'm gonna do a comparison real quick I'm a real quick run and grab the other one that I got Look at how fast I am check that out. Okay, so this is the one that we had gotten From the one before. Okay, so it was like a grayish color I don't know if you can tell from that so it had like the nice reds red white striped down the one arm You know regular hood like black dark gray on the hood But the embroidering or embroider there's actual embroidery For the n7 logo. You see this is not some crappy patch. You can even see it on the back It's not like a crappy patch. It was like straight up embroidered into this now this new one No embroidery look at this Look at this. It's just like hanging over that is lazy. That's lazy shit. That is lazy Yeah, this is a super lazy design That's a crappy hoodie My cat wants to sit on it. I guess I have to put these somewhere else That's bad design bad job Luke right that's bad Especially here's the thing. It's in comparison to what you did before Don't if you set the bar pretty high that one was really nice This new one. That's poor quality man. That's Bad on you Luke great. All right next item. I don't know what this is They're gonna be oh, okay Well, it's a coin It's a this is kind of cool if you're into Well, if you like the game basically Move this a little bit cramping my stop. So this is cool. If you really like the game. It's an Andromeda initiative coin some sort of metal Metal ish Andromeda initiative Okay, that's cool. Looks good on the other side. It's got this pathfinder on it, which is you know your title So the coins kind of cool comes with a case So you can just play it Now does it go into the yeah, you gotta really shove it in there, but Here you go. It goes in the case I guess you can have it kind of sitting up. All right, that's okay. That's an okay item I'm so pissed about that hoodie that hoodie is very poorly designed. That's socks All right next item a patch What the okay? So it's an Andromeda initiative patch I mean patches well made But why is it? Gray and white this the this has nothing to do with the colors of mass effect or the Andromeda initiative It's kind of odd. It just makes it look super drab Next there's gonna be something really good in here. I'm gonna be pretty mad. I'm already kind of mad. You can tell, but Oh faux pas Forgot to silence my phone. That's my wife calling. She will have to wait because we are doing this unboxing my bag All right Okay, okay, I understand where they're going with this. I mean, I can't really fault Loot crate too much on this one, but but they have a nomad So it's kind of like a hot wheels in a sense It's a little nomad anyone familiar with the game knows this is like the little Kind of like space buggy that you can get around in now Here's the thing. I hate this item because I hate the nomad in the game That's something that they had in the very very very first mass effect And it was the biggest thing that everybody said they hated it was stupid. It was idiotic You just drive around finding random crap on planets and it took forever and it was not exciting Got rid of it in the second one and didn't have it in the third one because they listened to what people had to say For some stupid ass reason brought it back for mass effect Andromeda That's been the biggest thing that pissed me off about the game You're brought back the main thing that people said they hated the most when the very first game came out Bioware what what are you doing? So? This isn't necessarily a bad idea for Lucrate But for people who are actual fans of the series They're probably not gonna like this because it just reminds them of how crappy this is on the game. So Sorry Next It's like a comic or something. I'm assuming Yep, they did this with the other mass effect one which is fine like I've gotten into comics It's not bagged and boarded though if you're gonna do comics this day and age You should bag and board them if you're sending them, but this was laying pretty flat So it's not like messed up or anything, which is fine so this is mass effect discovery and It's got a turn on it one of the races in it and it's one of those black and white styles, so That's fine. I don't have any problems with that. I'll read it. Hopefully it's good Next Two other things in here and they're in boxes Okay, don't give me shot glasses because they did shot glasses. Oh This might be even worse What in the hell? Bulls shitty plastic bulls like I Mean the logos on them are not bad, but Okay, so it says blast off blastos. It's like a You know faux cereal Okay, we'll get a little closer. So it's got like, you know, oh, man. It's like lucky charms It's got like these marshmallows and it's like a few different things from the game poorly rendered and then you got a creature from there from the game with Guns the cereal and it's two of these bowls and their plastic Maybe someone likes that. Not me So weak at the moment Next item. Okay. I'm glad For this this is cool. So I do like pins and here are some pins that they sent very cool I actually did get in early enough some people who did the pre-order within like the first Few hundred people who ordered got us an additional special initiative pin. So I did get one of those So this is the additional one and they did a good job. Just kind of like letting you know This is your addition additional one. So, I mean, it's nothing crazy That's the logo for the Indraman issue and I guess everyone got this one, which is the Tempest that's right the Tempest the Spaceship that everyone travels on in the game. So that's cool. I like the pins. I'm a fin person So and then I have something really heavy This feels like it might be shot glasses or something It's heavy. It's very heavy. Oh Tumblers actually is there actual glass tumblers these are actually kind of nice Kind of like these and they're for vortex now vortex being I Know I need I don't need to show you both. I don't need to show you both. They're they're identical So vortex is like the the club there We can go like get a drink and if you see it's cool because they have texture to the glass. It's like it's twisted Like vortex. So it kind of it like definitely fits with bar theme. That's actually pretty cool I was I was obviously as you can tell I was concerned that they were just gonna be putting in some Some stupid shot glasses But no, those are tumblers people can definitely use those are glass. That's nice. You can also put them in the dishwasher them That's actually cool. I think that might have been it Hmm Yeah, and then they always put stuff on the inside so you can like turn it into something and look you can Like that kind of stuff. It's not my thing. So And then they have like a little thing that looks like you're kind of like no pad digital notepad Flavor text basically not a big deal Um Yeah, and then they just have a rundown of what you got and driving initiative hoodie and driving initiative challenge coin vortex Lowball glass set blasto serial bull set 164 scale nomad diecast replica and andromeda initiative patch and pin so Just just basically recap of what you already saw now To recap what do I actually like and not like this will be fine for some people the bowls will be fine for some people I think it's lame Because here's the thing probably a majority of people buying this were adults and most people aren't really gonna want this is my guess I don't I don't like it. This is kind of cool. It's like a memorabilia type thing People love these types of things you can display them it goes in very very well with the whole mess effect andromeda theme Same with the pins the pins are really cool. I like this too The patch is a fine idea. This can also be displayed. I just question their color choice Just because it doesn't really tie in, you know, it's just random The tumblers or what do they call them on here lowball glasses the lowball glass set cool actually cool Pretty cool. And the other thing is since it just says vortex on it It's more one of those items that only people who are in the know are really gonna get it Which is even cooler and the fact that those glasses are actually like twisted. They have texture to them. They're cool I like those those are nice This is this is actually I do like it. I do like the little nomad It is good for displaying once again. This is another good displaying thing, but It just reminds you of the worst thing about the game So that sucks. I don't know how well the loot crate folks putting this the other new the game So maybe they didn't really know that aspect of it. I don't know Comic book. That's fine. I mean I'll read it. It's cool. I like comics a lot of people like comic So that's all good the hoodie Garbage Well, I wear it. I will attempt to wear it It feels I mean it feels soft on the inside But this design is bad This is a bad design The blue and the white on it isn't the biggest problem to me you you would have been relatively fine I mean at least just do it kind of like Kind of like the n7 one maybe just that do like a Variation on the colors just do like a blue and white stripe instead of the red and white stripe and do like both arms Or something. I don't know. It's just this design is kind of stupid because it's like all dark and Like dark gray on the bottom and then it's just got this color up top and in the hood And it doesn't look that good like it kind of looks more like a raincoat or a poncho You can get a good idea about by looking at that It just looks like kind of like a crappy rain poncho or something and then the biggest glaring flaw is this patch on here that just Hangs off That's terrible and the other thing is it's got sharp edges to it Someone's gonna go walk through a door get this caught on the doorway and it's gonna rip off That's a stupid idea Luke. Great. You're really messed up on that bad design awful laziness terrible Overall, I would say I'm I'm okay with this Am I happy I got it? No, I'm not happy. I got it and It's mainly because of that hoodie and a few of the other choices They need a more collectible stuff. Give us a like a die-cast bust of one of the characters. Give us something like that. I mean Come on, you know do a better job with the design of the hoodie. Give us maybe some socks They did socks before with like a nice design. I just feel like they kind of They had a few good ideas on this one and then with some other stuff. They're like, I don't know Maybe they were running up against a deadline, but I Don't know overall disappointed. I think it like I said, it's fine like some of the stuff individually I I quite like but as a whole Disappointed in this box. Damn that hoodies terrible. That design is awful. I was really hoping for a hoodie and I Might give it away. I don't even know That looks so bad though. Like get another get another good look at how this is Get another good look at how this is supposed to look like look at all that all the colors just on the top That looks stupid. It looks awful awful awful who thought that up fire that person Anyway, thank you everyone for checking this out I'm not doing any other great stuff. I don't think unless there's something like really cool collectible case that comes out Sorry about the phone call earlier my bad. I should have taken care of that.
