I'm a member of a group on Facebook that advertise the LOL dolls. Basically they're similar to blind bags but they're in a ball and you collect them for those of you that don't know. I think they're are 4 different varieties out at the minute.
These mums are seriously OTT. Quing up before the shop opens. Taking balls out of other mums hands. Drawing up / asking for diagrams of where the gold / limited addition ones are. I was going to screen shot some but I'm not sure it's allowed. Women are actually taking weighing scales into shops. Filling their trolly with the balls and weighing them. The gold ones are heavier. Some mums are actually buying the whole 24 that come in the shops display box at £144 a go.
I have bought my kids 2. They don't play with them so now if it's Christmas or their birthdays I will buy the fakes. Yes it's the parents business and their money. If it makes the child happy and all that. They are peeling the stickers off to see which ones they are getting before their kids come home from school.
Yes it's disappointing getting a blind bag / kinder egg etc with a toy you already have but isn't that the exciting bit?
If I had the money then I would probably end up like these mums and it round take the fun out of it so I'm glad I'm skint x
