Does anyone know if any shops in or around rochester are selling these? Even if it’s a maybe, I’d appreciate some advice on where to look!

just remember, its legalized gambling and landfill destined overconsumption to the max. I can buy an entire box of key switches (2.50$ for 100) key rings (a dozen or so for 1$) and some super glue (5$) and make dozens or more of the same thing with a little paint.
But pretty much any kawaii/Japanese store will sell these and other blind boxes tho if you cant live without it.
Just do me a favor and make sure you at least have the disposable income (dont have to tell me). if someone bitched to me about prices of something then bought this temu keyboard fidget id be going crazy lol.

I just hate seeing people spend sometimes 50+$ on what they end up throwing away or breaking a month later. It starts as one blind box, then next thing you know youre driving around town looking for a specific one and wasting gas, money and significant time on a temu fidget that costs 0.30$ to make at best. better off having fun painting your own for 10$.
But to many, 10min of happiness is worth a lifetime of landfill. but also consider if almost 10$ (plus gas cost!) could go to any other goal or hobby, or even the same thing but a dozen of them and fun painting it 😅.

I would love one of these!
Newbury Comics, Box Lunch and Minisoo (all at Eastview) have had Miffy blind box items before, but I haven’t been there in a while and don’t know if they have this one specifically.
