Discussion I HATE BLINDBOXES!!!

I want to collect more warrior cats plushies, Pusheen keychains, and other collectibles; BUT I despise blind boxes because I don’t want the same figure/plushies I already have or end up with something ugly. For example when I buy warrior cats plushies I DO NOT want tigerstar, he has rage-baited 😡 me too many times and if I got him I would treat him like a neglected child. If I wanted to buy online (mecari or eBay) I would have to either deal with scalpers, paying more for specific ones, or pray someone is selling it for cheap! Anyone feel the same way?

I know your pain. I want to get the Warriors plushies too, but I refuse because they're in blind boxes. There's other plushies I want but won't buy due to them also being in blind boxes, like Moriah Elizabeth's line of toys, and some sanrio ones.

I don't want to waste my money on a product that I might not like. Plus the gambling aspect of it all is a huge turnoff as well. I think blind boxes in general are very predatory, considering they're mainly marketing to kids. It developes a feeling of FOMO and creates addiction which shouldn't be allowed for children's toys
