I’ve mentioned before that one of our favorite types of toys are “Blind Bags.” Blind Bags are just different types of toys, in a slightly smaller version (usually) that you can collect and try to find them all. The “Blind” part is that you can’t see what you’re getting until you open the bag. They are a ton of fun. Most kids love the surprise. I was at the store and I happened to see Hot Wheels blind bags for sale. I was so excited! My girls have so many toy cars, it’s a little ridiculous. I like to encourage them to not only play with “girly” things. So, that’s why I had to pick these up. They come with a full size Hot Wheel and a very large sticker of the car in the bag. Here’s the problem – on the outside of the bag, you can tell which car you’re getting. LAME!!!
Pros – The cars are pretty cool and the stickers are huge. You can avoid getting duplicate cars.
Cons – Complete false advertising! There is no Mystery whatsoever. That’s the fun of blind bags, being surprised with what you get.
Would I buy again? I don’t think so. Blind bags are fun for the surprise.
Here’s a video where I figured out the supposed “mystery” pretty quickly:
