It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about one of my least favorite things: mystery boxes. For those of you who don't know, mystery boxes are boxes or packages containing things like figurines or other types of merchandise, but the contents of the container are completely unknown and random. There's also usually a special mystery product, as well. They've become pretty popular, but it's actually really common to see anime figures in mystery boxes. I really don't like mystery boxes because I'd rather know what I'm getting and if it's what I want. If anyone thinks it's hypocritical of me to like gacha games but dislike mystery boxes, there's a big difference between the two. Gacha games are usually free to play, you always know what the possibilities are, and it doesn't really cost anything if you don't get what you want. Gacha games usually have reruns of cards and characters. But mystery boxes cost real money for something you don't even get to see. Even if you know the possibilities of what you may get, people usually want a specific thing without getting repeats. I think mystery boxes are just a waste of money, and often ruins what could be good merchandise. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
