Loot Crate, Inc. is an American subscription box marketing and distribution company that is based in Pasadena, California. Founded in May 2012 by Matthew Arevalo and Chris Davis, it markets its entertainment products to thirty-five countries worldwide. [1]
Star Trek releases
The company has released a number of Star Trek novelty items within a number of its monthly crates. Many of these items were later included in the Bonus Crate detailed below.
Star Trek Mission Crate releases
In September 2017, the company announced that it was introducing a licensed bi-monthly Star Trek-themed subscription box product line, in partnership with Quantum Mechanix (QMx). Some QMx items are also retailed by QMx's online webshop and are sold by other retailers.
Six crates were planned and a metal desktop replica of a starship was slated to be sent as a gift premium to customers who have subscribed to the entire series. [2]
Production delays have plagued this line and only the first three crates have reached subscribers, arriving months behind schedule.
In a January 2019 message to subscribers, the company apologized for the numerous delays and announced that the line would be discontinued after "all outstanding" crates are shipped to customers during the first half of the year. The release status of the gift premium (metal USS Enterprise) was to be be updated at a later time. [3] Nonetheless, no further Mission Crates have been shipped in 2019.
Following the layoff of its warehouse staff in July 2019, the company and its subsidiaries filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on 11 August 2019, while it attempts to sell the company to Loot Crate Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of Money Chest LLC. [4] Emails were sent to customers stating that existing subscriptions would be fulfilled but this appears to be a dubious assertion, under present circumstances.
