I thought Of baseball cards before I commented (I lived it at $0.45 a pop years ago)...
Lego, blind bag toys...
I still reject it. It's a predatory practice that's exploding in toys and collectibles.
Don't like it at all. Market to children and provide no certainty in product.
So my daughter loves lol surprises...they are adorable little dolls.
But how does the North Pole handle it? It's a boon to eBay because the "elves" have to buy discard product in hopes of getting the right ones and then sell the surplus/repeats...and you can't do the "surprise" Because there are no suprises to magical toy masters...
Yoi...what a mess...
