I got the horror box with the Freddy glove. I also got the soft goods Halloween Ends Myers, and the front cover was missing. Plus, I had 4 other figures boxes completely destroyed.
This is mostly the crap that gets returned to distributors from mall stores after teenagers destroy the boxes, the product isn't moving or the shop is going out of business and trying to recoup capital. It is also some of the "packaging destroyed during shipping" product from the manufacturer to the distributor. I like watching these and seeing the disappointment in adults pissing their money away on actual garbage.
They removed the barcodes so that you can't take them back to the store for store credit/refunds because you don't have a receipt. This is actually a great idea for an as-is mystery box.
Walmart is starting to cover the upc barcode and put their own upc on their items.. one so ppl won’t return them to other stores for refund or credit and also a lot of their items are on clearance they don’t know how to over write the code so they make a new upc so they can sell the item full price. Smh example Dragonballz figures are coming as clearance $10 instead of $19.99 so they are overwriting the price by sticking a new upc on the toys. Including other products. So what ya think?! Is Walmart playing dirty?!
In this case, you are guaranteed a certain value at 1/4th the cost, plus you pick the genre, so you have a pretty good idea of what you’re getting. In general, it’s the same reason people are addicted to scratch tickets.
@@TheReluctantAdultPodcastIf you’re not a regular collector and don’t have a lot of stuff that totally makes sense. But in most cases, these blind boxes just tend to be the “scraps.”
If you already have complete collections, you’re definitely risking doubling up. But for the cost, it seems plenty of collectors are willing to take the risk.

Hoping for some Gremlins!!

I like that Elvira
I've got the sci-fi and horror boxes on the way. I'm hoping to get a few aliens and predators but I kinda doubt it.
I bought the horror box. 5 figures i already had and the rest are universal monsters. Not one alien or predaror.

How long did it take to get delivered?
Less than a week
I just don't understand the appeal to the blind box thing.
