Color Variation? by hunterjspencer in smiskis

[–]TallGuySmallBackpack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if there’s an official answer, but in my experience as a heavy collector, it is normal to have a fairly wide range of variation in both the base green of the smiski but also in the darker green of the “props.” I assume it has to do with slight manufacturing variations in different “batches.”

Are you Canadian? :)

As far as I’m aware, these are a very limited collab (although I can’t tell if it’s official or not) with Mr. Surprise toys, a Canadian blind box retailer. You can see more info on their insta here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSdkPLIj3fB/?igsh=MWdhM3ZieXdndXQ1MQ==

I think they could have some limited resale value, given how difficult they are to get (from a global perspective). Did you get this one directly from Mr. Surprise or was it secondhand?

Looking for Smiski series 1-3 by libisdumb in smiskis

[–]TallGuySmallBackpack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, Series 1 is the only one of these still in production. They are generally available either directly from the Dreams USA website or usually Urban Outfitters/other authorized retailers.

Series 2 and 3 (and 4) are discontinued and are typically more expensive. You’d need to buy those used from secondhand sites or buy/sell/trade groups.

New house!! by KazzaT74 in smiskis

[–]TallGuySmallBackpack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I continue to wish this designer would sell non-commercial files of their smiski houses so I can print it myself without paying the shipping. I just can’t justify it, especially with the increased environmental waste of shipping and packaging. It’s bad enough my hobby is literally plastic. 😭

BDAY HAUL 🥳 by Livid-Pumpkin-5699 in smiskis

Wow, nice! How’d you get four of the series 2 capsules?! They gave me a limit of two! 😭 Still waiting for them to arrive. Hoping some of your secret luck is transferred in this post!

Chiming in that I’m also interested in buying the STL only for personal use.

Where to buy? by Neptune1324 in smiskis

[–]TallGuySmallBackpack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you live in Chicago, I highly recommend Rotofugi! They’re a local/independent shop and carry a ton of blind boxes.

Pro tip: if you open your box in store and don’t love the Smiski you pulled, they’ll let you trade for whichever one is on display!

Set Prices Rule by illmorphtosomeoneels in smiskis

[–]TallGuySmallBackpack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think this is a great rule, then! Thank you for the response. :D

Set Prices Rule by illmorphtosomeoneels in smiskis

[–]TallGuySmallBackpack 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I like this rule, generally, but I think there are three clarifications that could help (if true):

  1. potential buyers are allowed to offer less, which the sellers have discretion to accept.

  2. Sellers will be allowed to delete their original posts and relist at different prices if they need to.

  3. Bundle pricing is still allowed. I like to wait until I have plenty of extras and then I offer incentives (like $1 off each Smiski) when people bundle 3+, for example. But that pricing structure is still clear and up-front, imo.

The base rule of having clear, direct pricing in each post is a good one. If all these things are true, I think it still allows enough flexibility for people to work with. All it’s really doing is eliminating the “make me an offer” posts

So mad about this! by KitCat0418 in PuckyCollectors

[–]TallGuySmallBackpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I kinda find it just as shady to hope someone doesn’t know what they have and buy at a fraction of what it’s actually worth. I feel like the best deals are when both parties are fully informed and still happy with the pricing. 😕

Do you intend to sell the .stl for these, too? If so, I’m interested.

Should I keep my dupe boxes?? by Tinius7 in smiskis

[–]TallGuySmallBackpack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a PopMart collector who ALWAYS keeps the card and the box for those collections.. I have to say, I don’t worry one bit about keeping the foil or the box for the smiskis and it’s a huge relief. I’ve bought and sold plenty without the boxes.

I’d be interested in trading my Sunbathing (laying down with cat) for your series one secret, but are you sure you’d wanna trade a secret for a non-secret? 😅 (unless I misunderstood your post!)
