They've pretty much confirmed an Elite figure for Crate 2. Just saw that on Twitter. Still not sold on these yet though.

I'm still just amazed that people are going for this.
You don't know what will be in the box.
For your $30, you could receive a "crate" that contains nothing but items that you already own.
Why let someone else pick for you when you don't know what they will pick? I could see it if it was a service where they fulfilled your specific order, but you are literally paying them to give you what they want.
Why would anyone want to trade their own choices for someone else's?

No thanks, but I hope I'm wrong.

Will everybody get the same crate of stuff or are they completely random? Lootcrate is cool for only $20 shipped but this is almost double...

It's different with Loot Crate because you get stuff completely random from various genres so it unlikely you'll have any of the stuff in there. Wrestlecrates are only wrestling so it's more likely. I would never get either though.

I like all wrestling stuff. Never know what you will get. $36 shipped seems like a fair price.

I asked them this on Twitter the other day, they said "we try our best to keep them all the same. May be rare occasions when we stray from that based on product availability"

I could see it if it was a service where they fulfilled your specific order, but you are literally paying them to give you what they want. Why would anyone want to trade their own choices for someone else's? The main reason would be that people think they're gonna get more than 30 bucks worth of stuff. So if they get 50 bucks worth of stuff retail, even if they already own a figure that came in their box, there still might be 30-35 bucks worth of stuff they didn't have. Of course it's possible you already own everything in the box. You'd have to base your decision on how much stuff you already own vs. how much stuff exists and determine the odds of you getting enough new stuff for it to be worth it monetarily. In my case, everything old that I want, I already own and not enough new stuff comes out each month that I want to make it worth taking the risk.

Until they get exclusives like Loot Crate then I don't care. And even then I will just buy them from eBay. I've seen several loot crates before. There is usually one thing you would want and then a bunch or junk like door hangers and crap t-shirts. I'd rather spend my money on things I really want or need then spend a little less for a randomized shoebox full of stuff.
