On top of this I always think about how kids are being primed for gambling when I see the kids toy aisle full of a hundred different gacha series. Yes, trading cards have been around forever but this is a whole other level.

And LaBubu, “blind box” where you don’t know which one you’re getting and to get a specific color have to repurchase. Why sell 1 to a kid when you can make them buy 150.to get the “special” one? Artificial scarcity and gambling at its finest. Set those endorphins up from a young age.
Imagine they were concerned about how addictive Diablo II was back in the day…

Blind boxes! That’s the name I was looking for. Exactly what I’m talking about. Last time I was in a Target there was an entire aisle full of those. I recently saw an Eevee blind box where you could get a figurine of any of the evolutions but you didn’t know which one until you opened it. $20 each I hate all this gambling.
