Not really. At least here (in Germany), they have promotional toy lines derived from well-known brands (e.g. I saw a store display promoting Powerpuff Girls toys in Kinder eggs a few days ago). The ads tout a guaranteed probability of finding one of these promoted toys in the egg (every 7th egg wins).
There is a vivid aftermarket for these promoted toys. They're worth more if you collect a full set.
You're right insofar as the non-promotional toys are pretty much only worthless plastic.
- TheSpiceIsLife 9y agoAh, righteo, I wasn’t aware of that, thanks.
- DanielleMolloy 9y agoThey had three pretty great serieses of Lord of the Rings figurines, for every of the three movies when they came out. I recommend to google them up. The ones I got still have value for me. Even some of the "worthless plastic" toys are actually quite creative (at least you often get some fun assembling them) and thus more than anything that can fall out of a digital loot box. As a child I didn't want to throw them away. What is not coming up here very often is the irrational customer behaviour of buying digital objects, which will disappear when the servers turn off.
