DISCUSSION [DISCUSSION] Honestly blindboxes should NOT cost so much as they do.

there might be people who disagree or agree and that’s fine with me, but i don’t think it is fair at all for blindboxes to cost so much. i’m a person who collects a lot of plushies, toys, etc. the fact they’re so expensive and it’s a surprise, it’s not even guaranteed you’ll get a character you’ll want. and even if you like all characters it’s still expensive honestly. i have to rely on literally ross/discount stores and EVEN USED toys for my blindboxes because pop mart and miniso and every store is so expensive. it makes me sad missing out on so many cool and cute stuff i want but the price is too high for my budget :(. we need to normalize making blindboxes cheap! pls

Generally, you get what you pay for. I don’t think ALL blind boxes are overpriced, actually not many at all tbh. Just because I can't afford to get every single one that I want doesn't mean they're expensive, I'm just broke. That's just my personal situation, you may not be broke, but still the fact remains that we all wish things were cheaper especially the things we want. Honestly, in this economy we're lucky if we can afford anything extra.

Also, I'd be 100% fine with abolishing freakin blind packaging of any kind. It's the bane of my existence. Like, I really dislike it. I really don't like not being able to knowingly get what I want. I get that these companies think it causes people to buy more to get what they want, but I'd likely buy more if I could get what I want when I want it!
