Or people will buy them all, take them home, open them and the return the ones
they don't want to the store. I've seen taped up CMF's at my local
Walmart already.

I wonder what percentage of these get bought to sell on, on sites like bl, ebay
and amazon. As many of those will get rebagged into a zip lock rather than taped
up.

Not being able to feel for them is a game changer for me. If I want just a specific
one, I don't want to gamble with an 8% chance of winning. No doubt others
will feel the same, and boxes will get "accidentally damaged" by customers in
store like they were for the Vidiyo blind boxes.

I have had a little success with it when I tried, but I never really had the
knack.

You can still largely distinguish them by weight. I have never tried it in store,
but Walmart and Target should have little kitchen scales on the kitchen gear
aisle.

Great move from them, IMHO.

At $5 per figure this is really disappointing. However, the advantage of this
