Hosive

this week is about the good and the lucky….and the bad and the ugly. blind box is sweet and delightful at the start because nearly every box is a winner.

but we knew this day would come. we bought our usual 3 this week and got our first double, fat tony. our boy, justin was visiting us….as a thank you gift, he also got us a few blind box simpsons…we got another new figure but we also got our second double and a third…in the same batch.

so first, the good….we’re still lucky picking up apu, homer and marge between the two batches. it is still cool and magical when we get one we don’t have! and these things are so darn cute!

but now the bad and the ugly. and when its ugly…its really ugly. and really bad. here are our figures in the foreground and their duplicates…getting the two smithers in the same batch was ominous. and this is likely the shape of things to come…imagine collecting baseball cards on steroids. you’re bound to get multiples but this seems to hurt more.

how long will we try to complete the collection? how many doubles, triples or ?? will we waste money on? will we find someone to trade with? will we resort to ebay?

or will we get lucky?
