Description:
Second verse, same as the first. This swap is for those of us that still like playing with toys, as well as the surprise that comes from opening blind boxes. Let's add to that excitement by throwing a middle man in there! Magic rules: You will have one partner for whom you must buy 3 blind box toys totaling at least $10. Three of the toys must be from different sets (i.e., you can't buy two Dunnys and one Smorkin' Monger). If you buy four or more toys for your partner, you can certainly toss in another from the same series/grouping if you wish. They have to be new. The box must be unopened. No exceptions. If there is something you sorely want, mention it in a comment to the swap or in your profile. You can buy blind box toys from stores like KidRobot. International swap. Newbies allowed. Please have your profile filled out with at least a paragraph. Participants with a low rating and/or unfulfilled swaps will be banned, unless you e-mail me with an explanation. Have fun!

OH! I can not wait for this one to start. lol. I've totally become addicted to these. I even bought the book. LOL.

I signed up for this because I love blind box toys, but now that I'm looking at this listing again, what does the "urban" part mean?

I really hope to get inanimate object toys, I've been drooling over the chairs for a while now. Weird animals and characters are awesome, but I'm not so into people toys.

I think if you like blind box toys and you've never heard of/seen/bought an urban vinyl toy, you'd be hooked after this swap!

My favorites are the tokidoki lines there's moofia and a new one coming out in december, the dunnys, fatcaps, and the vandals.

here's another link of examples

Cool. I already own some blind box toys like these, but never knew they had a sub-genre name. A space ape lives in my refrigerator.

Itty-bitty rule change! See magic rule number two. :)

Ah. I love this. An excuse to buy new Blind Boxes!!

(btw, I have become addicted. LOL)

I'm really trying to finish off my Dunny Series 4 right now. I'm also into things that hurt zipper pulls, munny zipper pulls, Finders keepers and carnimal zipper pulls. Just incase you needed a hint ;)
