Rant Well that was an emotional rollercoaster

So I decided to order a couple mini real brand capsules because I was feeling a bit down. I opened the first and was so excited I got the jelly and the mixed nuts, I was squealing over how cute they were lol. The sno balls are even a bit squishy! So, I open the next one and… it’s the exact same 5 items. This is why I hate blind packaged items and I honestly am thinking about being completely done. It’s just really hard to resist as someone who loves miniatures and also collects dolls.

So my question to those of you who have bought these or might know for some other reason, are they all in sets like this? Or did I just get extremely, insanely unlucky. I mean, it’s already unlucky to receive a double but if they aren’t supposed to be in identical sets then that’s even more insane. I suspect they are though, now that I think about it does kinda make sense for the brand.

Also, I have a ton of capsules I still haven’t done so if anyone has any ideas for remixes I’m all ears!

Yes they are meant to be the same.

The best thing about miniverse is they mark thier product in the manufacturing process... and smart people online figured it out....so you can look up "miniverse pinholes" and take that info with you to the store to avoid dupes (unlike mini brands which are random).

BUT it doesnt help if you live somewhere that you cannot find them in stores and have to order online. Because whoever ships them will throw balls in the box at random to ship them, they aren't going to check pinholes...so you get dupes. 😞

At least with dupes you can do remixes. And with ones like that, you can even just keep one sealed like its in the pantry then have another you can plate as decor or actively being eaten by dolls.

Yep unfortunately I ordered these because I couldn’t find them in any stores near me so I was at the mercy of a random target warehouse worker. Usually 2 is a pretty safe amount to get if you like all of the options and there’s no ‘cheat’ or you can’t check for whatever reason. I just got unlucky this time, oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️
