Blind Bag Frustration


Photo-A-Day #3066

The fun thing about blind bag toys is that you don’t know what you are going to get and it is a fun surprise. The bad thing is that you end up getting doubles of things, figures, power discs and more. We are seeing a ton of blind bag products coming out from LEGO, to Disney Infinity, My Little Pony, KREO and more. Evan Playmobil has a series of blind bag figures. They are usually pretty inexpensive but the toughest thing is buying two packs and getting two of the exact same figure back to back. Such a frustration.

Which Uses the Wii U Pro Controller

I ordered and purchased the Wii U Pro Controller because I was tired of using the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck when playing games with the family. I saw that Disney Infinity and Skylanders Giants both show support for this controller. But, guess what, the Wii U Pro Controller is not supported by Disney Infinity at this time even though it is listed on the packaging. So, until they fix it we are back to the wiimote and nunchuck for that game.

Although, the Wii U Pro Controller has been great for Skylanders Giants. I’m still working on the quests for each character. I started working on each and every one of the figures that we have and started with the Life Skylanders. The new controller is great for playing the battle modes of the game. This works well because each figure needs to win 10 battles to completely finish all quests. I’ve got to put together a video about each of the elements and figure how best to show people how to complete those quests quickly for each figure.
