About blind boxes (Destiny)

I'm an avid toy collector and have noticed the increasing popularity of blind boxes and bags from various manufacturers. That joyous feeling of opening a gift you describe is definitely different for me when buying one of these packages.
There are always multiple posts all over the internet when LEGO releases a new mini-fig series about trying to feel around the bag to figure out which figure is in there so you don't end up spending boatloads of cash to get them all. It's stupid that those posts are necessary and that you can't just walk into a store and buy the shit you want.
This is exactly the same thing, only worse. At least with LEGO, you could sell the damn thing on BrickLink if you get one you already have or don't want. With Destiny, you might as well just go out into the street and set your money on fire. It'd probably be more fun.
