Punnyz 10/25/18 5:22:29 PM #1:	Toys in which you don't know what you're buying? so basically we got Series 2 of the Overwatch backpack clip blind bags The overwatch blind bags are notable because they have a small hole on the bottom corner of the bag, if you grab a flashlight and look through the hole, you can see whats in it so what I did was I took stickers, peeked into them, and then wrote down whats in them a higher up came to visit to check up on my preparation of the Red Dead release and he didn't approve, mostly, but I told him that I thought people prefer to know what they're getting he insisted on saying customers preferred the thrill of not knowing what they're going to get, but he let me do it because we have the Series 1 unsold on clearance now sure enough, I got at least 3 customers that bought some, I sold a total of 7 today I know the future side effect is that we might not sell the ones nobody wants, afterall, I suspect thats the purpose of blindbags, pushing the crappy characters but I just wanted to research it, if you do buy mystery bags, are you excited over not knowing what your'e going to get? >_> --- https://imgur.com/qBpLe47 https://imgur.com/25MHSn1 <cite>Punnyz posted [p:911158702] in So how do ...

BlackMageJawa 10/25/18 5:29:13 PM #6:	I have only ever bought two, and I knew what was in them (the early Halo Mega Bloks blindbags had unique barcodes for each figure, so I got a Sanghieli (because there wasn't an actual Arbiter figure at the time) and Cortana.) I actually stopped buying Comic Relief Red Noses because the last few years have been blindbags. I always used to get one, and when they started doing collectable designs I bought most of them, but getting an unknown one at random?

MoogleKupo141 10/25/18 6:04:24 PM #15:	I buy them sometimes. The like cool art toy store where I get them has a nice system where they always have two of the set on display. If you open one you don't want, you can exchange it for one of the two on display. It's a nice compromise which really mitigates the risk.

MoogleKupo141 10/25/18 6:16:43 PM #17:	https://imgur.com/W38c7mB there's my little collection. I never get more than a two or three from a set to avoid the risk of dupes. It's a weird thing where like... if I knew what I was buying I wouldn't get an E. Honda, but I kind of like that I have an E. Honda. When most of the options are good, the mystery is sort of fun. On the other hand, that demon from Doom was the one I traded something for because that Bethesda set was all over the place in terms of character quality.
