Parasite Pals stationary and grooming supplies: Your guess is as good as mine really. Parasite Pals are cute animal mascots based on paraistes, as you would assume. I don't know if that adds anything to their stationary or in the case of Dig Dug, a comb and mirror set.I would have paid: $0.50 for each
Parasite Pals Valentine's Day Cards: This on the other hand is my cup of tea. Valentine's day cards which feature puns about love and being sucked of your blood by small creatures. It is awesome. I would have paid: $3
Prize bags: Imagine these as being cracker jack prizes. Slightly larger cracker jack prizes. My friend opened one of these and got a cheap plastic pan flute and a cheap plastic model plane. The other bags include similar cheap dime store prizes. I opened a couple and got the following.
A plastic model of a seal and...
A drumming strawberry figure. I like this one just for the "WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE!" value.
I would have paid: $0.05 per bag. I didn't count the bags but let's say that for the lot I would have paid $2.00
That brings the complete total of value that I would assign this Surprise Bag as $39.50 Would I be tempted to get another one of these? Sorely. The surprise element actually is worth maybe a few more bucks, but if I had to be honest, I would never even think of buying a lot of this stuff if I saw it in a store or catalog. That said, the stuff I would buy, that would probably cost me $30 or $40 to acquire, so I don't know if the surprise bag was truly worth it.
If I can give the crap I really don't want away as gifts to appreciative people, then yes.
Ok out of the final lot here am going with the surprise bags as the best of this batch. Overall it was a bunch of interesting and different stuff but i think i would just rather find and buy said items i liked by themselves than buying them in one Bag. Still it was fun to see what you got and where you valued everything at. : )
