I would love to buy Sting, Piper, Macho Man and Seth, but at $13 a pop (MotU and Attack on Titans cost) for a blind box I will pass on them. I have to many doubles from Funko's Mystery Minis and they were only $5 a pop.

I'll try to get Piper off eBay if these ever come out.
I enjoy TLS figures, but they are way too expensive for a blind box. $10 is the VERY outer edge of a blind box being "fun".

I never buy blind boxes. I’d rather pay the 50-100% markup off the bay to get the figure I want.

Paying over ten bucks and not knowing what you are getting is insane to me!!!! But then again, I hate the whole blind box thing in general. I would love to get Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage, they have don an amazing job on those two.
Just curious does anyone actually find the whole blind box/bag thing fun? At one or two bucks I can kind of see the appeal, but anything over that I just do not get it.

I would think you lose sales, especially at this price point, going in that direction. I wish these weren't because they are pretty cool! |

I think these do well because they probably make bank off the collectors with gambling problems.
I tried the DBZ blind boxes, never again.
Bought three, all were the same goku
These look awesome though. Would love the bottom two rows

I'll echo a lot of the comments made already within here (and this is coming from a huge Loyal Subject fan)...
$12.99 + tax is way too much to be paying for a blind box, no matter how awesome these are.
I started buying TLS boxes when Masters of the Universe came out. I bought six boxes, and got four Trap Jaw figs and two Beast Man figs. One of the Beasties was missing an arm.
Since then I've wised up, and only purchased loose ones through eBay or from members of Facebook groups.
They release limited figures (for example, Finn Balor might be 1/96), and also store-exclusive variants (general-release Sting might be black and white, whereas Target-exclusive Sting might be Wolfpac). Collectors desperate for the limited-edition figs will buy cases upon cases of these, getting dozens of the same guy. Wanting to recoup some of their losses, they're willing to let 'em go for $5 a pop or so.
Would it be exciting to get a Club 28 version of a wrestler (an example might be glow-in-the-dark Undertaker) Sure would, but it's not worth the gamble to me.
Also, with my luck the two that I want the most (Savage and Styles) will both be 1/96.

These look pretty cool. I wouldn’t buy a blind box but I would like others said go on eBay and pay a bit more and know what I have.

My local Walmart stores were selling those series for $2.50 to get rid of them. |
