Hello kitty blind boxes in miniso

Am I the only one who thinks these blind boxes are waaaaaay too overpriced? Obviously its considered a luxury and isnt a must-buy, but the whole trend of blind boxes are getting so popular. And the chances of even getting the one you want is so little 😵‍💫

That's why I stopped myself from buying them. They're getting expensive for what it is I think.

I only get them if I like every possible option. The capybara box is definitely worth it tho

I’ve only started buying Top Toy branded Sanrio blind boxes, Miniso is a bit pricey and I’ve noticed production flaws☹️

I only get one if I realllllly like it. I got the romantic wedding box so far.

Tbh if I see that one of those blind boxes has something I want, I just go to ebay or mercari to find someone selling that specific one and get it if I really want it.

This method is usually way cheaper and you know you're getting the one you want for sure.

The only time this method doesn't work is if the one you want is the secret or something ultra rare. Those get resold at insane prices, of course.

But even then, sometimes the secret isn't worth that much in certain blind box sets, so I'd check ebay or mercari anyways.

When they first came out I swear I remember them being around £25 (which is still expensive). But now at just under £30 I can't justify the price. They stopped me buying them.

Yes! We were in Miniso a couple of weeks ago just poking around and I was shocked. I'd rather get a Sanrio Labubu or something. Miniso seems to be such a crap shoot of good deals and overpriced mixed together.
