I mean beta is defined as a prototype of a product essentially... beta typically refers to an experience or trial product. That's not what they're doing by what that screenshot says. It sounds like they will be taking feedback from a focus group regarding ips and potential product types and applying it (like the Nielsen family does for TV for example). Beta maybe isn't the best word for it.

I checked everywhere in my email, and I did sign up through the special site, but I still haven't received anything. But now that you say that I should have passed through the lootcrate site, I didn't do that. So maybe that's where it happend. Is that something you can help with?
Little bit better, but the reflection kinda messes it up. Need something like this https://www.amazon.com/Photography-Portrait-Continuous-LimoStudio-LMS103/dp/B005FHZ2SI/ref=lp_3109892011_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1475652227&sr=1-1
This way there's no reflections. Cam girls best friend too.

Which is exactly why I think lootcrate should have known better. Honestly it seems like Lootanime is more like "Loot-Otaku-children's-stuff". Yugioh is a kids show, and the main property of it is a kid's card game, the anime is just a huge advertisement aimed at 5 year olds to convince them to want the cards. I absolutely loved the game (and watched the first 2 series) growing up and still have thousands of the cards in a box, but it isn't something that people who like anime like. It's something young card-game lovers like.
Same with Phoenix Wright. It's a great series, and it IS going to get a small anime adaptation, but it isn't something that people that like anime like. It's a video game. We have a crate for that too. They couldn't at least wait until the anime starting airing before they shoehorned it in?
You can argue "yeah, but there's cross-over between card game geeks, Video game geeks, and people who like anime!", but that's meaningless. This isn't "LootOtaku" or "LootJapan", It's "LootAnime". If anime fans don't like something, it doesn't belong in LootAnime.
The spiel is "Loot Anime is a monthly mystery bundle of figures, collectibles, manga, apparel, accessories and more from some of your favorite anime and manga series with a new theme every month! " No English anime or manga fan over the age of 10 has Yu-Gi-Oh! or Phoenix Wright as a favorite anime or Manga series. Both of those series are great, but in English communities they're known as great card games and video games, not anime or manga. They might as well promise us a Nendoroid Petit in a crate, and then when it arrives it turns out to be a Linkin Park Nendoroid Petit because "it appeals to a large percentage of customers and potential customers". http://www.amazon.com/Good-Smile-Company-Linkin-Nendoroid/dp/B008B5RZIQ
No, it's Buddha. I posted 2 threads explaining why it's the Buddha Homer and they got deleted because I AM RIGHT!
I think he was meaning 1 item of the entire crate, maybe a cross item like the David tennant doctor MLP figure. http://www.amazon.com/Funko-My-Little-Pony-Whooves/dp/B00BMD7RK0
For a SINGLE item, that would be fine, for an entire box I agree with the No way in hell.
