What's the general consensus on them? I know Ralph loves copping a feel and it's one of my favourite toy delivery systems, especially when they're reduced in price. I'm currently going through a revival with the new Super7 MUSCLE range of MOTU, Street Fighter 2 and Alien blind bag figures. TLK Toaty Tiny Teeny Turbo Changers were recently 99p in Asda which is a bargain, unfortunately it's Wave 1 which I have doublers and triplers of most already, new Jurassic World ones are £3-£4 which is less of a bargain but you get a solid dino figure with some minor articulation. There's dozens of versions of kids toy brands with a blind bag or capsule line. .
My 3 year old is currently fascinated by blind bags, especially Thomas & Friends which Poundland have in and a newer series of specials that B&M have in for £1.49. I've been stocking up to give to him as treats but when I went to B&M last night there were only 2 packets out of 4 entire boxes that hadn't been opened to check what was inside. Similar to Smyths last week, the LOTR Blind Boxes (for the record, I don't really like blind boxes. At least with bags they give you a chance to find a particular toy) had been burst open and the bag ripped to check what was inside. They're £6 a go so it's a decent chunk of money people are messing with when they do that.
Tesco have started keeping the more desirable brands in plastic security boxes. Will shops just stop stocking them?

Where to? My son also really loves the Thomas line (only £1 ea at Poundland)
