not to be shrill but i HATE how most toys are blind boxes (etc) now. this is probably one of the worst times to be a kid lol, not only are parents stupid and have youtube raise them, everything is expensive, but so many toys are basically glorified gambling. kids toys, fyi, not adult collectibles like tokidoki or labubu (i still hate that ugly shit…)

blah blah i know that blind bags and booster packs always existed. but it wasn’t the main form toys were sold. it wasn’t even this bad a decade ago, the mlp blind bags were fun because it was a side thing. after work i decided to see what LPS were in stock, and they were ALL blind boxes. i used to be into those zuru unicorn squad toys because my old job discounted them, but as soon as i got my favorite character i stopped and donated all my other ones to goodwill. but i kind of forget it existed until now because it was a short lived phase and there’s stupid ass axolotls and mini brands now.

this shit is just wasting money, gambling, and encourages scalping. and shoplifting but honestly this shit deserves to be stolen, it sucks!

the irony is that i got a blind box anyway because they’re $5 and i figured whoever is inside i’ll use as my next custom. and i got the rare one on my first try. but i don’t even like it.
