Been meaning to get this posted so will have some blind box openings in the next upcoming posts. You can never get tired of opening up blind boxes/packs/bags etc... Everyone loves a good mystery...well... to a certain extent. Blind boxes/packaging should be fun but should also be affordable/reasonable.

We got the Dyed Sheep in our blind box.
