I see these minis a lot in our local shopping website. Each of those cost about 5-25 cents a piece. I weep everyday for my western miniature loving hobbyists out there. 2 dollars is a huge turnout.
The reason why those reviews have more 'variety' is because they're staged. A lot of people make fake positive reviews to make their product look better to try and sell more. Whenever I check reviews, I go to the negative ones and look for what's consistent there. On the plus side, with little items like those, maybe you could work them into some resin pieces as decorations or even sets if you wanted to :)
I genuinely have been mostly happy with everything I bought from Aliexpress. But I do shop around and look at all (I say all, I mean a few here and there from five star to one star) the reviews too.
I’m pretty sure it’s either they are faking for any reason or they have had a different one from others so they have a different review then most others no offence it’s just my opinion🙂
Just trying to look on the bright side here, but there's a perfect setup there for a pool party. You've got a 10-pack of Coke (they tend to sell things in 10s or dozens, so that's not odd, or two could have been finished), bowls to put them in (you could add some 'ice'), glasses ready for the wine, you could fill a couple of the bowls with 'punch' that looks similar in color to what's in the coffee cups and have them be cups for punch, glasses of sangria, already-filled glasses of wine, and bottles of water and fancy non-alcoholic drinks for the non-drinkers. Then you could make some snacks out of polymer clay to go on the plates, set everything on a table and voila!
This feels like the time I bought a giant bag of Starbursts fun packs, and every single pack was filled with two pinks. Like, it starts off as "hmmm, that's odd" goes into "are you freaking kidding me?" then finally "I have to laugh, or I'ma cry".
Chadtronic did a video on that! Starburst made these all pink packages that probably didn't sell like they thought it would, so they got rid if the extra pinks in the Halloween packs. And they got away with it completely
@@endater I need to find that video. It happened to my aunt, but she didn't notice because she only ate one pack at a time. I noticed months later because I have a sweet tooth and she put them out a t a family party.
Probably the company has a rotation of a certain number of items and they did not expect people to buy so many bags at the same time. Most likely they have something among the lines of: this month we have booze and cigars and bowls, next month we have notebooks and baquets and stuff
Exactly what I was thinking. I know some of the cheap blind bags in Japan do that, a monthly theme kind of thing. Would be interesting to see Jackie order another 10 pack in like 2 months.
Jackie promoting her product hits different. Especially because she’s already sold out and she absolutely don’t have to keep going. The content inside is absolutely worth the price so it feels like she’s promoting because she absolutely loves her own product and she genuinely wanted to share it with everyone.
Majority of her audience are young people, kids or my self parents..They go to her to see if the craft kits are worth the money because they don’t have money to waste on garbage kits. Every video of craft kits she does a break down of the cost. She doesn’t do that on her own craft kit because the price is so overwhelmingly over priced. 150 for a kit is so over priced. I love her but it was upsetting she didn’t think about the people who use her channel for what it is.
@@123blacksheep Thought she did go over the value of each item in the intro video about her kit. Also - the intrinsic value of a limited edition mold (for people who will use it) is a big part of the price.
@@123blacksheep I don’t think you understand what the word overpriced means. You not being able to afford it doesn’t mean it’s overpriced, overpriced is when the price of any product or service is charged more than the industry standard AND when the returns of the sale is unreasonably greater than the benchmark for the sellers financial sustainability. Neither of these boxes are checked so it’s not overpriced at all. If the same box is offered by other companies they might charge 2 or 3 times more.
Oh definitely. Im super excited to get mine. Expectations are super high for this one since ive seen so many reviews and its so much. So excited to make my own creatures of salt and darkness.
In the image you kept showing us, the patterns of question marks on the back of the bags were different but on yours they were all the same. That makes me think you got items from the same batch of processing and that there is an indicator to tell the company what's in the bags (or at least what batch they came from) but the company either ignored it or didn't have anything else at the moment.
Same, I also noticed the different question marks on the back. And there's also the possibility that the store used someone else's photo, who are selling actual miniatures of those things. It's actually quite common for some stores to use the same photo and have a different quality than what was shown. Especially the scammy ones 🤭😅
@@00WatName00 Heheh not just miniatures, either! The number of reviews I've seen where people ordered something that looked like a decent item of clothing online & received some scammy company's terrible-quality knockoff of it, clearly just based on looking at someone else's photo & approximating the item... 🤦🏻♀️ Eesh. Costube queen Bernadette Banner actually has an excellent vid where she ordered & analysed a ripoff which had been made from one of her very own dress photos! And the tackiness level of the scam product was truly unbelievable...

Great ideas for the bowls! I hope she uses some of them! OMG I was really feeling for her. I was excited and my own hope meter was depleted by the end. lol
She could make a salty salad in one of the bowls. Either that or a bunch of ice with room to fit 1 or 2 drinks in it as if they are chilling in a bowl of ice...
When you said anyone still watching was also curious about if you got anything new, I was sitting here like "I'm still here for the full Premium revenue so you can at least get something from these blind bags besides heartbreak, cause you deserve better."
I won't be able to preorder it (cross country move), but Jackie I completely support this box and if I had the $ I would have ordered immediately after it went up. It looks so wonderful for a multitude of art and craft projects. Loving everything I have seen everyone make with it. ❤
I'm in the same boat as you. So happy for Jackie, but will be missing out on this. Not for lack of support, just for lack of ability during my move. Hoping for a future re-release!
That sucks the listing didn't live up to expectations. I'm curious if in the listing there were different options like on wish or ebay, where they have "batch a/b/c/ etc etc" drop menu and you just got 10 orders of one bundle, that could explain it. Your theory where they just picked from one batch makes sense too. The only nice thing I can see, is using the empty dishes to make your own mini drinks and food with resin or clay since there are so many.
I found the exact offer and no. There were no batches to choose from. And someone put a review, that they got lots of duplicates of similar things to Jackie
Someone ordered 40 and got handcuffs, Shoes and Drinks. Loads of duplicates. Other person got two bags with 10 blind bags in them and the second one was a 1:1 duplicate of the first one. And many comments saying "lots of duplicates"
In my experience, "4.7" is the most suspect review score as it seems to be the most common score for items with fake reviews. They want it to look good, but not too good to be believable, so 4.7 is the target.
I kinda feel like there's some potential with the clear bowls, using UV Resin, but they're SO tiny, it world be extremely tedious. Maybe Sika might like them? She seems to prefer the tediousness. I can relate. 😊
Probably easier to just buy the ones you want directly from aliexpress. Are sets of 10 different available for just a couple of cents. (Actually looks like you can still get duplicates in those sets... but at least you have a bit more control that way)
Honestly, I believe this is how ALL mystery bags work. I have been following Bag-O-Day Crochet for a while now, and she loves buying mystery bags. Several at a time. And ALMOST ALWAYS, each bag has the same stuff in it. If you want different things in a mystery bag, you need to order them at least a week apart.
i recently bought blind box figurines from ali express and while i am incredibly happy with the quality, for some odd reason each box had a card in it that told me *exactly* what figurine i was about to get... ?????
well with all the doubles and mini brand doubles you've accumulated I would make earings, hairpins, or make a doll set. at least they can be repurposed
As someone who makes jewelry, this is actually a great haul! You could make earrings and charm bracelets with all that...I don't think it was a complete waste.
@@socialdistancingon8333 I haven't used resin either! But your comment made me think of bracelets I make for friends, I love adding charms and customizing them and these seemed perfect for that😊
Love the way Jackie is honest about the products, kudos to her Edit: 19:59 I’m not here as a sucker for punishment I’m here hoping it gets better for her. Also it might be cute to make different ice cream bowls with all those transparent bowls
Look at the bright side, Jackie! You can make things with these! With the mountains of waters, make a tiny cardboard "case", put 24 of them in there, then wrap it in thin bits of shrink wrap. You've got a full case of waters. Make tiny cola cartons for six-packs of sodas. Put some of the extras in a tiny fridge for a diarama. make a little convenience store for those, or cafe set for the drinks-in-cups up to display them. :V You can totally make lemonade with these lemons!
With all those pieces, it looks like a good setup for a miniature gala. I totally understand wanting a variety of objects, but when it comes to table and glassware, sometimes it's nice (or even necessary) to have a matching set.
Well, I saw the title; the memories of the Mini-Brands and the disappointment with the doubles. Still asking myself "Jackie, why are you doing this to yourself?".
Jackie, you could make a dinner with all of these. The empty ones could be the ones washing up and then you could and lots of people drinking. There could be wine bottles on the side and it would make sense why they were there. Cause there in a dinner. I think this could be cool 😎.
I'm happy I convinced my father to buy me "NOT another Crap kit" I'm so exited for it to arive. Love everything you do and can't wait to get something that you made. Have a wonderful day/night!
@@andreea_lestrange that option won't work on the website I tried adding it to Cart and it somehow added twice and it wouldn't go down. So it won't let me pay for one. In attempt to fix it, it added 5 more boxes and it won't go down to one. The other option works. I have no idea what happened
Not sure if it counts, but my favorite "blind box" type thing is Sparkles the Narwhal from Squishable! Adorable little plush narwhal keychains! There are two series so far: snacks and fantasy, and six to collect in each series.
When she says plenty to keep you entertained, she not lying! I was suck at home, with Covid and depressed, and Jackie and her sister Sika, just made my two weeks fly, and they really made me happy. So thank you!
Honestly, thank you for your content! I even had to buy RUclips premium since I was watching you so much back to back! That in like a 20 min video of yours I would get like 20 ads.
I remember that when I was little I loved some chocolate dessert that came with surprises. My dad bought three boxes on the same day, and we got the same exact toy when there were 16 different options. You're not alone, Jackie!!
honestly, all those bowls you got, I would love a video of you crafting to fill them with different things, like salad, fruit, punch, popcorn, pasta salad? it would be really cool to see what you could come up with and how you would go about making that and getting it all to stay in the bowl
I used to collect sticker albums. The one i got Closest to complete was missing about 5 stickers. I bought so many packs of with doubles trying to find those 5, I got another album 3/4 full
I'm with you on the "these were all a set that they picked from", because you had most of your items have duplicates of 10. 10 wine bottles, 10 water bottles, 10 lemon drinks, 10 wine glasses, 10 bowls, 10 coke bottles, 10 coffee cups, with a couple more rare things thrown in. It definitely seems like they tried to divide up what they had on hand evenly so they didn't sell out of one thing right away. It's quite a coincidence for this grouping of 100 to get multiple divisions of exactly 10, like it was on purpose.
Schadenfreude in action: I couldn't stop smiling as the Tide of Saltiness got higher. Not that I think what happened was any less BS, and that it isn't worth a massive dose of salt....it was just amusing from my perspective.
I feel like this is like ‘minis in Covid’ or minis on a cruise ship with all of the wine, cocktails, coke and coffee… thankfully there’s some water in there haha.
I am obsessed with the challenge of making miniature art. To make lemonade out of lemons, all those empty plates, dishes and glasses could be used to hold itty bitty items that you make. You could print off your own bitty wine labels for variety too. They are kind of a size reference to make your own props? Polymer clay, resin, etc. Look at it as a challenge
I feel like a few of these would be cool to put in a resin project, like the pyramids people make with photos and such :3 they're small enough they wouldn't take too much space in them
Maybe with the double up things like the half empty cups you can craft with them a little to something slightly new, take the fallen of slices from the wine and pop it on the cup or bowl, maybe add some clay “foam” or “fruits”, add some slightly different coloured uv resins to make it look like an iced layered drink of some kind or add to a bowl to make bowl of jelly etc so many ideas, cling wrap some bottles together make them look like bulk buy lot of water bottle etc, sucks you couldn’t just get more variations but atleast can maybe turn it into something that feels less of a waste of money but just gotta get a little creative, if you decide to do it can’t wait for the video ❤️
I love blind bags, I usually buy jewelry ones from Etsy. I’ve gotten some pretty cool stuff. I trust Etsy sellers a bit more than bulk aliexpress sellers but I still have to read all the reviews before I even consider buying anything. This seems like the kind of listing that you buy once every few months to get a different batch of things.
You can get these exact same things at Micheal's, but it's not a mystery, and it's so much more expensive. If I remember right, one mini set of 6 empty wine glasses plus 1 wine bottle is like, $6/$8 (it was quite pricey for how much was in it tbh). Though you got a lot of doubles, imo you got quite a steal with how many you did get for the price you paid.
I had my eye on these because I love the little terracotta pots and such. Now I know to keep trying to make tiny pots out of polymer clay or maybe try resin.
Holy carp! It’s 1:50am in Australia right now and I just happened to wake up and have a sneak peek on my phone when your notification came up! I’m definitely watching later today and also going to pay the subscription to get the cute little salty emojis too, anything to support my favourite channel ♥️
So out of curiosity I also ordered 100 of these..... And omg. All I received was charms that can be glued to paper or fabric. None of them were miniatures. At least you got a bunch of items 1:6-1:12 can use.
Not gonna lie I absolute l o v e blind bags, even if the prizes are meh. I guess the fun part is just opening the surprise! But I never buy them. First, they're usually way too expensive here in Brazil, and second, I get goosebumps just thinking of all the trash ("L.O.L" blindbags/toys are the worst I would say). I'm pretty sure Jackie is going to recicle the little bags; but recycling sadly isn't a big thing here and most people just mix everything (even from the kitchen/bathroom...) so everything turns into useless dirty trash that can't be recycled in the end. =( If the bags were at least made of something biodegradable I would probably enjoy the whole thing way more! (Also if there is one particular blindbag that I would totally grab if I could afford, is one from Disney, I think the name is vinylmation, because the Dalmatians are way too cute ;A;)
Agreed this whole concept is pretty bad. Enormous amounts of extra packaging. And on top of that the products themselves are more likely to end up in the landfill because you don't know what you're purchasing. This is the worst kind of consumption in my opinion
Mano, primeira coisa que pensei quando começou o vídeo era que deveriam ser de papel (e realmente achei que fossem por causa da estampa "?" Parecendo que foi carimbado à mão), até que a Jakie falou que é que nem de catchup.. triste.. Dou 2 meses pra esses pacotes aparecerem na 25 de março por 5 reais kkkkkk
Yeah the trash is pretty bad. Id probably buy these if i could find a brand that isnt repeating the same 12 things and had biodegradable packaging then itd be perfect. I was really hoping to get to see that bust cause i love figurines like that. It definitely would make it worth it for me.
I decided I’m going to make a SaltE crafter chibi with my “Not another crap kit” supplies when it comes. She’s going to be holding a spoon 😇. The brown liquid works for coke & tea & coffee, I can see why you’d make that your 1 liquid colour to keep down costs
It's really upsetting that there were so many repeats, but I would love to see a video of you trying to customize all your doubles. It would be really interesting to see how you would customize the plates with food and different drinks using resin and clay and just experiment.
The glas wit the lemen and the what you think is vanille icecream is in fact a hoegaarden. A beer that is very light of color that you eat with a lemon...
Bag-O-Day crochet opens yarn mystery boxes, and sometimes gets many many multiples of the same too. You could put a six pack of coke in one of those grocery carts that are to small for the other minis
Oh Jackie, I feel your pain here. I'm obsessed with blind bags, and I totally related to the excitement to disappointment journey. Thank you for going through this sacrifice so I don't have to order them! 🤣
I’ve had a few items repeated a couple of times but that was it, no more than 5 I feel bad for you Jackie that you had multiple items than what you were hoping for 🥺😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿🥺
I think it will be cool that if you took all the empty bowls, glasses, plates and even the coffee cups and decorate it your own way with polymer clay and resin. Ex- put frosting on the coffee or put resin as wine in the glass
Early haha I love this video. Also you deserve all the success for the "not another crap kit" it is absolutely amazing and gives you what you paid for.
You could totally use some of them for sculpting! Like the smoker pot thing, could be a miniature fish pound or garden or water fountain! They could all get a new life with sculpting! That's my view on things. ^^
You can either give them to your brother for his photoshoots, or you can use them for future DIYs. And here's a thought! You should get the new Barbie The Looks doll with the Made to Move body! I'm curious what your reaction is with the Made to Move Barbie dolls! Personally, I'd like to think of using them as a kind of Drawing Mannequin! Yeah, I have a small wooden one, but unlike those, the Made to Move Barbie dolls are not just posable, but they have articulated body and limbs. And I mean WAY MORE articulated than the wooden mannequin with limited articulation. Also, if you haven't seen Toya's DIY Doll crafts from her MyFroggyStuff RUclips Channel, I highly recommend it! Her doll crafts are REALLY amazing, something I think your Brother might like to do for his photoshoots!
BJDs are really flexible, though often times more expensive (if you buy them off of Aliexpress they're much cheaper but If you do something on RUclips you'll either have to turn off comments or label the video something like bjd recast from AliExpress)
@@yiotatort That’s why I prefer the Made to Move Barbies. At around $20, I can get a doll with articulation made with a strong plastic that won’t fall apart, pop off easily or fragile. Also, no elastics and hooks, so that’s a big bonus. I’d be even more happy if Mattel made extra hands in different poses, so you can change hands easily and make it easier to look like they can hold things instead of just making the hands too static or something. But I’ll take the extra articulated limbs though!
@@IsomerMashups how do you order from aliexpress? Most won't take my credit cards, prepaid cards from my bank either. None I've tried to buy from take PayPal. Any suggestions? I was able to order 2 things out of over 10 I tried to order.
@@starlaw3320 I just use my MasterCard. I'm surprised it causes you that much trouble. It's always worked for me. That said, I have been scammed exactly one time. Only order items that have lots of good reviews.
Takes me back to my elementary school days and buying mystery bags from Claire's! I always ended up with the same set of stud earrings, or lipsmacker flavours that no one wanted, or toys that had no purpose. Still bought 'em though 🤣

Hi!!
As somebody who makes miniature scenes, these blind bags are actually interesting. You could start a small bar scene with your bottles and glasses. :}
I know right
These will be so useful for party or bar scenes
Even the trays and "sticks" would be cool if you're going for a less classy dive bar aesthetic!
Or a cafe
They look interesting also to make earrings
If your buying one it’s ok but not having a variety I see her saltiness I too make and collect small things
I see these minis a lot in our local shopping website. Each of those cost about 5-25 cents a piece. I weep everyday for my western miniature loving hobbyists out there. 2 dollars is a huge turnout.
It was $2.50 Canadian for 10 bags, so about $.25/miniature

That sucks the listing didn't live up to expectations. I'm curious if in the listing there were different options like on wish or ebay, where they have "batch a/b/c/ etc etc" drop menu and you just got 10 orders of one bundle, that could explain it.
Your theory where they just picked from one batch makes sense too.
The only nice thing I can see, is using the empty dishes to make your own mini drinks and food with resin or clay since there are so many.
THIS!!!! it looked like there were different batches and she just calls it a scam because she doesn't know how basic listings work
And maybe people are getting theirs from Walmart
I found the exact offer and no. There were no batches to choose from. And someone put a review, that they got lots of duplicates of similar things to Jackie
Someone ordered 40 and got handcuffs, Shoes and Drinks. Loads of duplicates. Other person got two bags with 10 blind bags in them and the second one was a 1:1 duplicate of the first one. And many comments saying "lots of duplicates"
That's what I'm wondering if there was a drop down menu because the listing says 1 : 12
In my experience, "4.7" is the most suspect review score as it seems to be the most common score for items with fake reviews. They want it to look good, but not too good to be believable, so 4.7 is the target.
The count of items at the end was 99. So on top of getting no variety, she didn’t even get 100 items… 😑
Wait you're right. She got even more scammed
She also says that she requested multiples 🙃
I’m pretty sure i saw one still inside of one of the bags
Edit: I’m pretty sure its a 4:01 if you look there was one inside of the mini bag
@@zachityzachhh4394 I'm thinking what you saw was actually a bag - tag . I'm unsure though, but, I saw a few bag "scenes" like that.
I kinda feel like there's some potential with the clear bowls, using UV Resin, but they're SO tiny, it world be extremely tedious. Maybe Sika might like them? She seems to prefer the tediousness. I can relate. 😊
Alcohol, coffee, carbonated drinks, cigarettes… What are these dolls doing?! 😱🤭😩
suffering from opening 100 bags of the same stuff...
@@mistressofbats 😂😂😂 exactly!
They are students in school
@@EmiFoz 🥶🥶🥶🙈🙈🙈😂
Barbies be playing dirty XD
Probably easier to just buy the ones you want directly from aliexpress. Are sets of 10 different available for just a couple of cents.
(Actually looks like you can still get duplicates in those sets... but at least you have a bit more control that way)
True true I would do that
Honestly, I believe this is how ALL mystery bags work. I have been following Bag-O-Day Crochet for a while now, and she loves buying mystery bags. Several at a time. And ALMOST ALWAYS, each bag has the same stuff in it. If you want different things in a mystery bag, you need to order them at least a week apart.
So....
If I started a mystery bag company and pretty much guaranteed 10 different products in a 10 pack.
Do you think it would take off.
@@madtabby66 not saying the business will as I’m not a financial advisor but the idea is very good and would make a lot of people happy.
@@theoistrying9904 ship from Canada as well.
Whelp off to the craft store
i recently bought blind box figurines from ali express and while i am incredibly happy with the quality, for some odd reason each box had a card in it that told me *exactly* what figurine i was about to get...
?????
@@xUsako could have been for customs. Or maybe for the warehouse pickers?
Jackie: “if you’re still here you’re a sucker for punishment just like I am.”
Me: “Why else would I work retail?”
Same
lol I feel for ya. I did that for a short time before I got a machinist job.
well with all the doubles and mini brand doubles you've accumulated I would make earings, hairpins, or make a doll set. at least they can be repurposed
Maybe she could sell the earrings/pins for a charity she really likes, that would be cool 😊
As someone who makes jewelry, this is actually a great haul!
You could make earrings and charm bracelets with all that...I don't think it was a complete waste.
Thank you.
Yes !
I agree! They'd make absolutely adorable charms!😻
@@abinayabaskaran5255 I was even thinking they could still be good charms for resin too, but I'm not that knowledgeable in resin...
@@socialdistancingon8333 I haven't used resin either! But your comment made me think of bracelets I make for friends, I love adding charms and customizing them and these seemed perfect for that😊
Love the way Jackie is honest about the products, kudos to her
Edit: 19:59 I’m not here as a sucker for punishment I’m here hoping it gets better for her.
Also it might be cute to make different ice cream bowls with all those transparent bowls
Look at the bright side, Jackie! You can make things with these! With the mountains of waters, make a tiny cardboard "case", put 24 of them in there, then wrap it in thin bits of shrink wrap. You've got a full case of waters. Make tiny cola cartons for six-packs of sodas. Put some of the extras in a tiny fridge for a diarama. make a little convenience store for those, or cafe set for the drinks-in-cups up to display them. :V You can totally make lemonade with these lemons!
With all those pieces, it looks like a good setup for a miniature gala. I totally understand wanting a variety of objects, but when it comes to table and glassware, sometimes it's nice (or even necessary) to have a matching set.
Well, I saw the title; the memories of the Mini-Brands and the disappointment with the doubles. Still asking myself "Jackie, why are you doing this to yourself?".
because she wants her luck with mystery products to change and is sucker for punishment
Where r u from because your name b confusing
With all the wine bottles, I'd relabel some of them and make a wine rack. Like "Oh, look at all the fancy wines we have"
I’m so happy that her craft kit did soo good !!! Such an accomplishment.
Jackie, you could make a dinner with all of these. The empty ones could be the ones washing up and then you could and lots of people drinking. There could be wine bottles on the side and it would make sense why they were there. Cause there in a dinner.
I think this could be cool 😎.
I wonder if she sent a the kit to Moriah, id be interested to see what she would make tbh. So proud of our salt mama
Seeing everything layed out at the end made me think of a buffet-type setup like you would see at events, with various items for attendees to grab.
I'm happy I convinced my father to buy me "NOT another Crap kit" I'm so exited for it to arive. Love everything you do and can't wait to get something that you made. Have a wonderful day/night!
And the best dad of the year award goes to:
I convinced my mom. But she is like "I need another week to come up with the money" I don't have another week :/
@@gimygaming8655 there is an option for 4 paiment and you pay 4 times less money until you pay 149.99 (the amount of money you need to pay regulari)
@@andreea_lestrange that option won't work on the website
I tried adding it to Cart and it somehow added twice and it wouldn't go down. So it won't let me pay for one. In attempt to fix it, it added 5 more boxes and it won't go down to one. The other option works. I have no idea what happened
@@gimygaming8655 Sorry to hear that. Hopefully Jakie will come back with this kit again. (She said she might come back with the figurine the rest idk)
Not sure if it counts, but my favorite "blind box" type thing is Sparkles the Narwhal from Squishable! Adorable little plush narwhal keychains! There are two series so far: snacks and fantasy, and six to collect in each series.
"I don't want 15 packs of smokes." We all know someone who does.
When she says plenty to keep you entertained, she not lying! I was suck at home, with Covid and depressed, and Jackie and her sister Sika, just made my two weeks fly, and they really made me happy. So thank you!
🥺❤️
Honestly, thank you for your content! I even had to buy RUclips premium since I was watching you so much back to back! That in like a 20 min video of yours I would get like 20 ads.
I remember that when I was little I loved some chocolate dessert that came with surprises. My dad bought three boxes on the same day, and we got the same exact toy when there were 16 different options. You're not alone, Jackie!!
It would be interesting to watch you put together a scene with your mystery items :)
Yes! This please!
honestly, all those bowls you got, I would love a video of you crafting to fill them with different things, like salad, fruit, punch, popcorn, pasta salad? it would be really cool to see what you could come up with and how you would go about making that and getting it all to stay in the bowl
I used to collect sticker albums. The one i got Closest to complete was missing about 5 stickers. I bought so many packs of with doubles trying to find those 5, I got another album 3/4 full
I'm with you on the "these were all a set that they picked from", because you had most of your items have duplicates of 10. 10 wine bottles, 10 water bottles, 10 lemon drinks, 10 wine glasses, 10 bowls, 10 coke bottles, 10 coffee cups, with a couple more rare things thrown in. It definitely seems like they tried to divide up what they had on hand evenly so they didn't sell out of one thing right away. It's quite a coincidence for this grouping of 100 to get multiple divisions of exactly 10, like it was on purpose.
Jazza finished the centaur! It looks so great and I'm so glad you guys are friends who support each other
Schadenfreude in action: I couldn't stop smiling as the Tide of Saltiness got higher.
Not that I think what happened was any less BS, and that it isn't worth a massive dose of salt....it was just amusing from my perspective.
i've never bought that many blind bags so I've never had my heart broken like that. On the bright side, your brother can make a miniature bar now :D
I feel like this is like ‘minis in Covid’ or minis on a cruise ship with all of the wine, cocktails, coke and coffee… thankfully there’s some water in there haha.
I really appreciate you posting more. Working as a jr. Tech has been extremely stressful and your videos really brighten my day.
those turtles are going to be having one heck of a party, eh Jackie. I have a love hate with blind boxes.
Back when I was a kid playing with Barbie dolls, this would have been a jackpot. 😂😂😂
no, they're too small for a barbie
Anyone else love to see her and sika make a whole series making their own miniatures? 🤣
Yes that would be so cool! Id also love to see her use the extras for dioramas.
You should make your own mini blind bags, so they're actually good ones that people can get!
I am obsessed with the challenge of making miniature art. To make lemonade out of lemons, all those empty plates, dishes and glasses could be used to hold itty bitty items that you make. You could print off your own bitty wine labels for variety too. They are kind of a size reference to make your own props? Polymer clay, resin, etc. Look at it as a challenge
I feel like a few of these would be cool to put in a resin project, like the pyramids people make with photos and such :3 they're small enough they wouldn't take too much space in them
Maybe with the double up things like the half empty cups you can craft with them a little to something slightly new, take the fallen of slices from the wine and pop it on the cup or bowl, maybe add some clay “foam” or “fruits”, add some slightly different coloured uv resins to make it look like an iced layered drink of some kind or add to a bowl to make bowl of jelly etc so many ideas, cling wrap some bottles together make them look like bulk buy lot of water bottle etc, sucks you couldn’t just get more variations but atleast can maybe turn it into something that feels less of a waste of money but just gotta get a little creative, if you decide to do it can’t wait for the video ❤️
They'd also be good for a dollhouse, say for a set dining room table!
I'm now obsessed with the idea of a tiny Set of water bottles clinged together 😮😮
Yes! I was going to say this but you worded it so well! ❤️
I love blind bags, I usually buy jewelry ones from Etsy. I’ve gotten some pretty cool stuff. I trust Etsy sellers a bit more than bulk aliexpress sellers but I still have to read all the reviews before I even consider buying anything.
This seems like the kind of listing that you buy once every few months to get a different batch of things.
completely random but i LOVE that you have a pickle the dinosaur pop socket. its amazing to see different youtubers supporting eachother
New to the channel but I love your content and your vibe :)
You can get these exact same things at Micheal's, but it's not a mystery, and it's so much more expensive. If I remember right, one mini set of 6 empty wine glasses plus 1 wine bottle is like, $6/$8 (it was quite pricey for how much was in it tbh). Though you got a lot of doubles, imo you got quite a steal with how many you did get for the price you paid.
Plus a lot of them are even smaller or a lot more fragile. I dropped one the day I got it and it shattered :’)
I had my eye on these because I love the little terracotta pots and such. Now I know to keep trying to make tiny pots out of polymer clay or maybe try resin.
Holy carp! It’s 1:50am in Australia right now and I just happened to wake up and have a sneak peek on my phone when your notification came up!
I’m definitely watching later today and also going to pay the subscription to get the cute little salty emojis too, anything to support my favourite channel ♥️
Yay! Welcome
Oh, I forgot the main point
@@lazyhomebody1356 thanking you!! 🙈
So out of curiosity I also ordered 100 of these..... And omg. All I received was charms that can be glued to paper or fabric. None of them were miniatures. At least you got a bunch of items 1:6-1:12 can use.
It's for a house party, think of the coffee cups as glasses with Coke and Scotch, Bourbon etc Love the Hope-o-meter
Her humble nature in todays times is a such beautiful asset
Not gonna lie I absolute l o v e blind bags, even if the prizes are meh. I guess the fun part is just opening the surprise! But I never buy them. First, they're usually way too expensive here in Brazil, and second, I get goosebumps just thinking of all the trash ("L.O.L" blindbags/toys are the worst I would say). I'm pretty sure Jackie is going to recicle the little bags; but recycling sadly isn't a big thing here and most people just mix everything (even from the kitchen/bathroom...) so everything turns into useless dirty trash that can't be recycled in the end. =(
If the bags were at least made of something biodegradable I would probably enjoy the whole thing way more!
(Also if there is one particular blindbag that I would totally grab if I could afford, is one from Disney, I think the name is vinylmation, because the Dalmatians are way too cute ;A;)
Agreed this whole concept is pretty bad. Enormous amounts of extra packaging. And on top of that the products themselves are more likely to end up in the landfill because you don't know what you're purchasing. This is the worst kind of consumption in my opinion
Mano, primeira coisa que pensei quando começou o vídeo era que deveriam ser de papel (e realmente achei que fossem por causa da estampa "?" Parecendo que foi carimbado à mão), até que a Jakie falou que é que nem de catchup.. triste..
Dou 2 meses pra esses pacotes aparecerem na 25 de março por 5 reais kkkkkk
Yeah the trash is pretty bad. Id probably buy these if i could find a brand that isnt repeating the same 12 things and had biodegradable packaging then itd be perfect. I was really hoping to get to see that bust cause i love figurines like that. It definitely would make it worth it for me.
I decided I’m going to make a SaltE crafter chibi with my “Not another crap kit” supplies when it comes. She’s going to be holding a spoon 😇. The brown liquid works for coke & tea & coffee, I can see why you’d make that your 1 liquid colour to keep down costs
OMG 😲 wish I could see it when your done!
You could maybe add a tiny bit of fine thread or wire to the top of the heart shape cups with IV resin to make it into a candle jar.
The craft kit looks amazing well done!😍👏👏
She's literally so beautiful on in and outside 😍😘💕
Omg yessss
🥺😭❤️
yes she iss she is da queen of the grains 😊💫❤️👑⛓️
She is a Queen
I know
It's really upsetting that there were so many repeats, but I would love to see a video of you trying to customize all your doubles. It would be really interesting to see how you would customize the plates with food and different drinks using resin and clay and just experiment.
The glas wit the lemen and the what you think is vanille icecream is in fact a hoegaarden. A beer that is very light of color that you eat with a lemon...
The bowls and plates could make cool resin projects
I am so crazy over this video I absolutely Love mini stuff!❤️
The lesson we learned today is hopemeter is inversely proportional to saltiness meter
😂
Bag-O-Day crochet opens yarn mystery boxes, and sometimes gets many many multiples of the same too. You could put a six pack of coke in one of those grocery carts that are to small for the other minis
Oh Jackie, I feel your pain here. I'm obsessed with blind bags, and I totally related to the excitement to disappointment journey. Thank you for going through this sacrifice so I don't have to order them! 🤣
I’ve had a few items repeated a couple of times but that was it, no more than 5 I feel bad for you Jackie that you had multiple items than what you were hoping for 🥺😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿🥺
OMG the cuteness is too much, hehehe Jackie is like a happy kid on Christmas morning opening presents
I would love to see an unboxing of arts/crafts mystery boxes from eBay, or Etsy, or wherever, if you can, please?
Good idea!
@@lrl_ysatg5317 thank you.
Love your name by the way...
@@socialdistancingon8333 thanks 🙂
I think it will be cool that if you took all the empty bowls, glasses, plates and even the coffee cups and decorate it your own way with polymer clay and resin. Ex- put frosting on the coffee or put resin as wine in the glass
You are the BEST Jackie!!!
I would love to see you make some resin/clay products in the little bowls and dishes. The ashtray could be a soap dish too.
i was looking forward to this video since Wednesday, can't wait to watch it
Moral of the story: Never pay cents for gold
Another moral of the story: No smoking
And no drinking 2 wine bottles a day. X'D
Early haha I love this video. Also you deserve all the success for the "not another crap kit" it is absolutely amazing and gives you what you paid for.
I feel you. I once got ten blind boxes and only got two different items.
I genuinely feel like you could do some really awesome mini projects with those bowls and plates.
It’s my cynical feeling that some of the ratings on TikTok were not from actual purchasers.
You might not be too far off the mark on that.
The only positive thing from all these doubles (triples, quadruples etc) is making earrings or keychains out of them
Someone walk into Jackie's house and say, " I'm guessing you're a wine person".
Anyone else get happy and smiley hearing Jackie laugh or even talk or am I weird? 😅 when she says omergawd, I feel complete. 😌
You could totally use some of them for sculpting!
Like the smoker pot thing, could be a miniature fish pound or garden or water fountain!
They could all get a new life with sculpting! That's my view on things. ^^
You can either give them to your brother for his photoshoots, or you can use them for future DIYs.
And here's a thought! You should get the new Barbie The Looks doll with the Made to Move body!
I'm curious what your reaction is with the Made to Move Barbie dolls! Personally, I'd like to think of using them as a kind of Drawing Mannequin!
Yeah, I have a small wooden one, but unlike those, the Made to Move Barbie dolls are not just posable, but they have articulated body and limbs. And I mean WAY MORE articulated than the wooden mannequin with limited articulation.
Also, if you haven't seen Toya's DIY Doll crafts from her MyFroggyStuff RUclips Channel, I highly recommend it! Her doll crafts are REALLY amazing, something I think your Brother might like to do for his photoshoots!
BJDs are really flexible, though often times more expensive (if you buy them off of Aliexpress they're much cheaper but If you do something on RUclips you'll either have to turn off comments or label the video something like bjd recast from AliExpress)
@@yiotatort That’s why I prefer the Made to Move Barbies. At around $20, I can get a doll with articulation made with a strong plastic that won’t fall apart, pop off easily or fragile. Also, no elastics and hooks, so that’s a big bonus.
I’d be even more happy if Mattel made extra hands in different poses, so you can change hands easily and make it easier to look like they can hold things instead of just making the hands too static or something.
But I’ll take the extra articulated limbs though!
I'm calling it now: every bag will have the same 10 things.
@@IsomerMashups how do you order from aliexpress? Most won't take my credit cards, prepaid cards from my bank either. None I've tried to buy from take PayPal. Any suggestions? I was able to order 2 things out of over 10 I tried to order.
@@starlaw3320
I just use my MasterCard. I'm surprised it causes you that much trouble. It's always worked for me.
That said, I have been scammed exactly one time. Only order items that have lots of good reviews.
I hope those wrappers were at least recyclable.
Just from looking at them, they aren’t.
Takes me back to my elementary school days and buying mystery bags from Claire's!
I always ended up with the same set of stud earrings, or lipsmacker flavours that no one wanted, or toys that had no purpose. Still bought 'em though 🤣
Love watching this hope you will do more like this.🤓❣
