Warning about blind box toys (link roundup)



The Kidrobot store in Miami wants everyone to know that they lowered the price on Jon Burgerman's "Heroes of Burgertown Mini Figures" to $5.95 each. Don't fall for it. It's the worst type of blind box set. Imagine if you spent $6 and got stuck with this:



I can't believe Kidrobot allowed it. I highly recommend you pay a few extra bucks and shop at Tenacious Toys, which sells identified blind box toys. TT also recently unveiled a brand new and much improved store website.

And a few more links:

1. There's still time to try to win a Faded Line Clothing Co. t-shirt.

2. The first episode of the second season of the Penny Arcade guys playing Dungeons and Dragons has been posted. I haven't listened to it yet, but the first season was hilarious, and I've never played D&D. And this time they have special guest stars.

3. Another interview with moot of 4chan. He kept his involvement with the site a secret from almost everyone he knew for nearly five years. Relatedly, here's discussion of possible ways to make money on the site. Via.

4. Tomopop has a new t-shirt.

*Previously: Pentagon seems to be dominated by Dungeons and Dragons fans.

*Buy Dungeons and Dragons miniatures at eBay.
