[As originally posted on Tomopop]
Usually I privately rebel against blind boxed toys. Despite the fun factor of not knowing what I’m getting, sometimes I just don’t want to blow my money on ten boxes in hopes of getting that one figure I’d really like. Every once in a while however, I want the whole set, […]
