I don't understand how we all agree we hate blind boxes, but then go on to worship blokees. Was blokees simply the first good blind box, or will transformers collectors literally buy anything?
>>
>>11672474
Nontransforming Transformer toys are cringe
>>
Not all of the blokees stuff is blindboxes. The whole case is barely $30 and there is plenty of people selling the one you'd want so what's even the problem here? Their Evas are great kits
>>
>>11672474
The bigger Blokees (classic class and above) usually show you exactly what you get on the inside
>>
>>11672474
I purchased a Spider-Gwen Blokees. It's pretty neat.
>>
>>11672474
It's not good so much as a case has all the figures for sure with a coin flip on one figure being shiny/translucent/etc

So for collectors and how cheap they are it goes over well to just buy the case.
>>
>>11672474
Ill admit that i dont like the blind box aspect, but its part of the fun too. Once i get like five figures from a box i tend not to try anymore as i likely get stuck with a dupe and the only guy i know that enjoys blokees is a whale type who already has a ton of figures so i cant trade the duplicates.
Overall i dont mind blind boxes if they are fairly priced and fun to have. I dont buy them often but i think ZURU does a fair job with their house brand IP stuff with monsters and dinos etc etc
>>
>>11672619
Blokees' galaxy class have fixed assortments with the chase being a variant of one of the figures, so if you buy the full sealed case it negates the blindbox aspect.
>>
Do people customize these at all? either painting or part swapping? These look like they could have a xevoz sort of potential to possibly mix your duplicates into new creations for fun.
>>
>>11672823
Yes theres a big photo and customization contest every year by Blokees itself and most of the customs are transformers and naruto little figs
>>
I started out loving these, but got burned out pretty quickly. The new ones with thigh swivels look alright.
>>
>>11672567
The cases being sold domestically make clear that the case box is random and could include duplicates. The one time I engaged in that, I ended up with dupes, some of which - 5 years later - I can't even give away on the secondary market.

>>11673047
Yes, I too can search the interwebz to make my points.
>>
Are they making Megaman blokees?

>me: cherish every blokee i have and play with them/pose them, each blokee is a happy memory when i bought it and didn't expect to get this or that character
>retarded anon: bought all of them at once and got burned out
top fucking kek

I'm curious, but I keep waiting for them to put out a figure that I'm interested in. It hasn't happened yet.
>>
The chief reason that TF Blockees are selling so well and loved by people is that the main TF line has been utter dog shit since at least the tail end of the War For Cybertron trilogy, but who's dog shit kicked into high gear and then some with Legacy being full of literal who's and an influx of AIDs that was frameslop combiners, Unicron trilogy, RID '15, and Gen 2 OC characterd/garrish recolors bullshit. Something Hasbro doubled down with AOP except now we have super literal who's in the form of the 13 Primes and a flood of budget cartoon Optimus Prime/Bumblebees warming shelves while Megatron and Soundwave are overpriced Leader figures and Hasbro having not only learned nothing from the backlash from the Stunticons and doubled down on gouging fans for process of combiner torsos.

Blockees, with their evergreen designs and Action Master nature without the two things that damned that line (costing twice what a regular 1990 GI Joe/Turtle cost and the flood of literal who's new characters no one wanted), make them affordable and more appealing to TF fans who despise the direction the main Has ri line has gone into.

>>11673898
I'm waiting for a non-transformer line to become available without ordering from some import site
>>
>>11673965
We had two of them. Super7 and RED.
>>
>>11674052
both shit
>>
>>11673154

Sealed cases contain the entire set, and can contain a chase. I'm sure screwups happen but for the most part you are gaurenteed the entire set if you buy a case. I've purchased cases for all sets from both direct and third party and never gotten a duplicate.
>>
>>11672489
crying about nontransforming Transformers is even more cringe. Every single transforming mecha has non-Transforming versions out there.
>>
>>11673965
how are you posting on 4chan and still afraid of ordering from import sites?
>>
>>11673154
My points are my own.
>>11673893
I didnt buy them all at once either. Max i bought at once was 4. They need more variety in the feet. Which they seem to be starting to do based on Kickback
>>
>>
>>11674060
We have internet access in America, son.
It's pretty fast, too!
>>
>>11674053
Super7 gave us the only Bludgeon remake worth a fuck

Meanwhile RED gave us the only Shockwave and Knock Out worth a fuck.
>>
>>11674201
You forgot G1 Megatrons. Both S7 and RED are better than the crappy Frankenstein versions we have been stuck with
>>
>>11672474
>I don't understand how we all agree we hate blind boxes
I love blind box stuff, I buy them all the time. 4Chan is not a hivemind.
>>
>>11672474
If someone wanted to get Saint Seiya Blockees, how much of the main cast IE Bronze and Silver Saints have been made? And is there a Pope Ares figure?
