Of course I could go to ebay to guarantee I get the specific one I want but then I pay much more than if I had just rolled the dice in the first place.

I think I'm on both sides of the fence when it comes to blind box toys, I tend to treat them the same as a pack of trading cards, knowing full well the possibility of getting duplicates, that being said, it really sucks getting a duplicate, especially when your spending $10 plus per blind box, like with the loyal subjects, I love their motu and thundercats figures, but I hate spending nearly $15 a piece and pulling dupes from them, I was lucky with the thundercats blind boxes by pulling zero duplicates and a chase figure from the 4-5 That I've purchased, the motu line on the other hand is a different story, out of the 8-10 That I've purchased, half of them have been dupes, some ive pulled 3 of the same damn figure while never pulling just one of a specific piece, which is why I tend to not purchase blind box toys anymore unless they're on sale or on clearance.
