Kinokuniya woes

Why so many blind boxes and no purchase limit? My friend and I got there the day of and waited in line but nearly all the plushies were sold out (probably to resellers). Ugh.

First purchase was apparently all plushies and was over $800. I really wanted one Ivan and one Till plush but could only get blind boxes. Apparently they started selling a day early T^T

I guess I’ll have to venture online to see if I can buy one :/
