The fun thing about blind bag toys is that you don’t know what you are going to get and it is a fun surprise. The bad thing is that you end up getting doubles of things, figures, power discs and more. We are seeing a ton of blind bag products coming out from LEGO, to Disney Infinity, My Little Pony, KREO and more. Evan Playmobil has a series of blind bag figures. They are usually pretty inexpensive but the toughest thing is buying two packs and getting two of the exact same figure back to back. Such a frustration.
I’ve cut down my comic book subscriptions to fit into our budget. I was collecting a number of titles but when it comes down to it I like the Transformers titles the best and I buy My Little Pony for Eva and I to enjoy together. There are some titles that I’ll check out in digital format or if something very exciting comes out I may pick it up. I think it is important to continue to support comic book stores and physical comics. While they take up a lot of space and cost more there is nothing like reading your favorite comic books.
I have a bunch of them and when the kids are old enough to handle them with care then they can read my whole Transformers collection. I hope that comic book stores continue to survive so the kids can experience going in, choosing a book and finding a world that they can escape into for a while.
