I have a love/hate relationship with blind bags. They are exciting to open to see if you have found a chase character or a duplicate. The more blind bags you have the more chances you have of getting all the figures that you want, but there is also a higher chance of getting duplicates. I picked up a bunch of Funko Mystery Minis (Blind Bags) of Captain America Civil war characters on clearance at a couple of GameStop stores. Last night I found the rest of them at the last of the GameStops that are near me. I have all the figures except for three of them. I figured that I’d find at least one of them with this latest batch, but no. Not one new one and I even found two of the same ones. Ant-Man. I love the character but not 4 of them. So, that is the trap of Blind Bags. It is like toy gambling. It can be exciting but also disappointing.
So, now I have to figure out how to find those last three figures without taking more chances on blind bags.
I stopped over at Target today and I was very excited about a couple things that I found. First I found the new Captain America Civil War 5-Pack of Hot Wheels cars. The new individual cars were not out but this 5-pack is great with an exclusive Battle Damaged War Machine car inside. The rest of the cars except for Iron Man have been recolored. Iron Man has been redesigned. It makes sense because Tony Stark is always creating and recreating himself and his armor. The character vehicles in the set are Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Iron Man and Battle Damaged War Machine.
I also found an amazing find. Hot Wheels has re-released some classic cars and playsets. The re-released the classic STo & Go playset. I actually got giddy when I saw it because this was something that I had as a kid and I loved it. The classic was from 1979 and it was awesome. I cannot wait to open this one. I just ran out of time today so I wasn’t able to open it for the vlog. I do mention it in today’s vlog, though.
