I suspect that the Danny Pennington figure was considerably more expensive than any of the previous figures to produce. To start with, it is a completely new mold where the previous series of crates had repaints or slight retools. They may also have had to deal with more likeness rights with the Danny figure much as they did with getting Judith Hoag and Elias Koteas.

That said, all of the figures for this series of Loot Crates are completely new figures. So I fully expect all of the upcoming crates to be similar, with fewer extras beyond the figure.

I'm trying to get an idea of when to try to contact Lootcrate.

Mine was 16th. Last update on 1st. 35 days so far. I'm in the UK.

Sorry but Danny is not a new mold. Unless you mean his head. The body is John Connor from T2 with a few swap outs. That said they probably did have to get not only his likeness rights but for the shirt as well.

Imagine if they reuse Danny's mold for Keno. Then we have two child-size adult people running around.

They got the likeness for half the shirt, that's why the other artist was omitted.

Ok so out of curiosity thought I’d check up on my loot crate shipment. As I’m in the UK guessed it would take a while. Anyway just clicked on my tracking and says not only was my box delivered but delivered to somewhere in Kentucky USA! WTF!?!

Chasing loot crate up on this now…

So it turns out after I pointed out to Loot Crate that my UK-bound package had been delivered to an address in the US, I suddenly get another shipping notification saying mine has just been shipped. Hmm.

Makes me doubt whether to get a Loot Crate again. Obviously someone on the "inside" re-addressed my original package to themselves or an address that suited them. I hope Loot Crate can find out who and where, should be able to as there was Fedex tracking. And punish them (if a Fedex employee they should lose their job over this as it's basically stealing).

Not impressed.

Same....I had 2 boxes delivered to North Carolina...I've never lived close to there. Still waiting for my replacements to ship....label was created on Sept 10th... and nothing yet. My weekly emails seem to indicate they are having major supply chain and FedEx issues. Get an email in with them and follow up weekly.

Arrived in the UK today. No warning. Last update was a week ago.

Waited over 7 weeks for Danny. Lol.

Also, no box, it shipped from the US in that black Lootcrate box, with no additional packaging. Contents just loose inside. It's a miracle nothings damaged.

I HATE that it advertises it's contents - big TMNT logo. Anyone remotely thieving can do a quick eBay search and see it's probably worth a few Bob (although with Danny, I'm not sure).

Anyway, he's short with weird arms and oddly a closed gripping hand. Can't say I'm thrilled.

I should update some positive news in that Loot Crate came through and my Crate DID turn up last week, intact with all items present.

Still certain that my original Crate was hijacked, but Loot Crate did me good and re-sent me what I was owed. So a positive outcome (although if I had a choice I'd go with a Small sized shirt, the medium is pretty baggy for me).

I really wanted Scrag, but I couldn't justify buying all the Lootcrates to get him. Sucks that's the only way to get him, especially since I kinda wanted two of him (one for each form).

Loot Crate is doing a “Build-A-Crate” special. Add 5 items for $25 to make your own crate. Bunny Bebop was included in the offer.

Link: https://vault.lootcrate.com/?gclid=C...saAr4OEALw_wcB

Update: Bunny Bebop is currently sold out.

My advice? Tweet about it and tag Loot Crate. Worked for me, and always seems to work in most cases. Companies don't like the public shaming or bad press. I always find that e-mails can take ages to get a response and you can sometimes get sent all over the place trying to find an answer.

Maybe just say you've had you TMNT Crate #1 cancelled for no reason. You ordered all 4 TMNT crates, are you still entitled to the Scrag bonus Crate now your first Crate has been cancelled (no fault of yours you should add...).

Good luck!
