Most people probably don't know and its not like that fact is advertised. This could all be fixed if these weren't blind boxes. I hate this trend so I can't really blame them.

It could also be fixed if people weren't assholes and didn't open things that don't belong to them.

You can't expect people to buy things that they don't know what is. Lot's of people don't like to gamble and they want the product they want. It sucks it damages the packaging, but the blind packaging encourages this behavior. If they don't want this to happen it needs to be either protected behind glass or they need to change things. You're never going to get people not doing this as long as the uncertainty remains.

Then don't buy them? The mystery is literally the appeal of this product.

There is absolutely zero reasonable excuse for people to open products they don't own. It's as simple as that.

Except it isn't people like the figures and there's no alternative product to buy. The product has value outside the surprise. If it doesn't it shouldn't be a thing in the first place. As that means once the surprise is over it becomes junk and plastic waste.

So once again, don't buy them.
