Another thing that they do on the box to trick people’s eyes is using the very large number 4 in the top corner. At first glance, a person would relate that ‘series 4’.
This is wrong...there shouldn't be a single series 3 in that advent calendar! These are already waaaaay overpriced as is! Such a missed opportunity too, bc there are some hard to find commons in series 4 (I've opened 3 cases and still don't have all the commons). Thanks for giving us all a heads up.
I agree. I understand the whole blind bag to get u to buy more thing, but it seems like certain areas get more of some minis while others don't. Case in point the potato rounds. Some got a lot, some got very few. C'mon zuru.. we pay enough.
I’ve noticed a pattern in Mini brands cases. A single case will have a handful of minis where you get 7-8 of each, then a bunch where you get only 1-2 in the whole case and then none of the rest. In other words a single case doesn’t draw from the entire line but rather only a part. It took me over 80 balls pulled from various cases to open my first purple Bomb Burrito after pulling 7 green ones and 0 red ones.
Hey!! We love your videos! They don’t want to send you anything because you are straight up honest!!! If it is a rip off you don’t hide it and cover for them! Your videos are so raw that’s why we love them!!! Thank you for showing this I was thinking of getting it for baby girl, but we have most of the series 3 🙄, looking for Series 4.!!! Thanks for your videos!!!
Hi there! You are very welcome! It is very disappointing that they did this and I'm glad that it's reaching other people that don't necessarily collect them but already have the Series 3.
Thanks GB! You took one for the team. If I had spent $50 on this I would have been extremely disappointed and could have used that money for more important things. I think you saved me from losing $50. So I appreciate you! ⭐⭐
God. This ticks me off. I mean I already have most of series 4. Except these items. So if I were to get it and it was full of series 4, it would still be doubles. But still. How disappointing. I had already heard they were doing this with the toy advent calendar.
I think n their calendar if they r going to re-use older series in each calendar it should be the golds, metallics an etec. They r over priced for repeats over an over. Ready to see the foodie calendar!
I’m really grateful you do these kinds of reviews because I honestly don’t see myself picking it up now... especially when series 3 is on sale by now in my area and I won’t pay for an overpriced calendar with minis I could get for less. I know mini brands has been kinda on the downfall lately but this is really a bummer that can’t be overlooked... hopefully the next few products pick up especially with how good Foodie mini brands has been looking!
So I have a theory, possibly a wild one but what if in the factory they produce these mini brands, they had a huge stockpile of series 3 mini brands and were just like "Ehh🤷🏻♀️stick them in the series 4 advent calendar, our consumers will buy it regardless."
Jeez that was really disappointing. Really wish they were more creative with series 4. Thanks for doing these unboxing videos, they help out a lot in spreading awareness!
Can't believe what these companies make that appeals to people in a way that they would spend a lot of money to get duplicates, they charge way too much money for these things. Toy companies are definitely out there to get you😂
I have only opened one of the Blind Balls for Series 4 because that is all I have gotten so far and they aren't hard to find. I am never disappointed with these products.
I bought one of these hoping for series 4 minis, but mine was an exact copy of your advent calendar! Everything in the same numbers as yours! Very disappointed with the outcome of just the 4 minis from series 4, although I was missing the golden Hershey’s and the golden Icee from my series 3 collection, so that’s a plus.
Thank you for showing us what came in this advent calendar. Since I don't try to complete any series, I just like to get them for my doll's grocery store, I won't be buying this. I am so glad that you showed us so that I don't waste my money.
Definitely agree with you , shame on ZURU 5 surprise, they get you … it’s bad enough with the capsules like to be dealing with repeated minis , the same happened with TOYS advent calendar series 2 , they put the latest (w/frozen ) collector’s list they are only a few from the new wave “ a huge gimmick “ 😓😓
I really share your negative feelings my friend. We know that there is a shady Edge to the mini brands but when they do something that is this obvious it's very upsetting. Especially in an advent calendar. Something that is meant to be opened over the month of December. I mean this really is a double whammy. Not only is it filled with series 3 items but you find out that you have to purchase this in order to complete your series for collection and having to pay $50 to do so. I have to include that the fact that they are not willing to send you any PR is shocking to say the least. For all of the most obvious reasons. With all of this said anytime spent with you is a pleasure. I appreciate that you are always honest and straightforward about the product. Have a lovely weekend.
Yeah, exactly! Oh well, it's sad and it is what it is. I'm just glad I can at least let everyone else know, as there are people out there that are making a considerable effort to buy something like this for their loved ones only to be disappointed.
I think GB Kuhleen deserves to be on the PR list! Sorry to hear that got mostly series 3 maybe you can contact Zuru about this being false advertising. Love your videos! Finally got my first Mini Brand ball which is series 3.
I think I'm not "big enough" for them to send me stuff, but who knows. It might also be like Giggles says, that they want people to only say good stuff about their products. Either way, it is what it is.😅
This is the 3rd advent calendar that has the exact same items almost in the same placement, so if you’ve watched an unboxing you pretty much know what’s in it already! Very sad. Great video though!
😲 now I get it So i live in Australia and we finally got series 4 blue balls well what I thought were series 4 until now seeing this video ive almost completed my set and im wondering why my check list looks so different to yours I dont know what series ive been opening but its not 3 and its not 4. I have gotten quite a few from series 4 I think anyway I have the lipsticks and make up the money bundles which I have found in with the checklist and a mini in some balls and in others its not with the checklist you just get a mini and I have yet to find just the money in a ball on its own but I haven't got alot of the things you have found so I think im going to get in touch with zuru and find out what games they are playing as ive spent a small fortune on mini as im sure you are all too aware of how expensive it can be when your trying to finish a set Can I email my list to you so you can figure it out for me ? Also dont bother opening the lipstick because I did last night only the plastic wrap comes off you can't open the actual lipstick
I am disappointed that there was not all series 4 peices in this but I need series 3 peices still so I was able to check off few of them from this calendar
Hi GB. I would think for the amount of money you pay, they should all be from series 4. I wouldn't be happy either. At least you got like four from series 4. Smh. You know you will be opening more from series four and I would love to see if the lipstick 💄 does indeed open. Last year's calendar should have the series 3 in it. Nope, not good enough. I do however like that you have put out a video for the last three weeks. I miss not seeing your videos every single week. As always thank you for sharing and enjoy your upcoming week☠🎃🦇🪦👻💀
What a rip off!! But don't worry GB. That's a good lesson, not only for u but all of us as well. We can be more aware in the future and save a lot coz of this experience. Stay golden gb. Great things are ahead!!!
I just now atarted opening series 4, because i couldn't find them anywhere but I've only opened about... 4 or 3 balls. Bc i didn't even know they exist 😅. But i love your videos, and your my favorite mini brand channel! Keep up the good work! And nice golds.
Maybe it’s not the series 4 advent Calendar Maybe it’s a mixup advent calendar Because some of the pieces are from mini brands series 2 wave 2 series 3 and series 4
This is absolutely appalling they should not put any series 3 in the series 4 advent calendar!!🤬 It should all be series 4! I won't be buying this advent calendar!! What a waste of people's hard earned money!!!
If I have my three mini brand the Kool-Aid then I’ll be like dad we need to get on right now but I got it on my birthday but your scored two so I made it get it
I think for Mini Brands they should had done all exclusive mini calendar. Also they should sell just accessories like shelves and carts in a separate baggie so we don't have go thru so many of these just to find these. I think Mini Brands are monetizing on the trend and people would buy anything from them. I suspect that they had too many series 3 and decided to put in "series 4" calendar to get people to buy it.
I got this aswell and I also got items from series 3 and I am disappointed on how it’s a series 4 advent calendar and I’ve got series 3? Like that’s not what I wanted and bought
This is such a rip off.. also I’ve been watching all the reviews for this and notice how every single advent calendar has the exact same product with the same number .. this was a terrible marketing strategy unless someone new to mini brands buys it, because now that ppl see what’s in it they will know not to buy it because of items they already have. Cant say I’m disappointed because mini brands has been ripping off ppl a lot
I just splurged on 2 mini brands foodies balls from 2 different locations... I got 2 MINI brands paper bags, 2 white castle bags and 2 subway coffees... the rest were ok... but REALLY? After taxes that's like $30 in Canada... not wanting to buy more now that's for sure... so I can empathize with your dissapointment
Well, this is awful. it’s like series 3 mostly. That’s false advertising in my opinion. Least maybe this video can help as a review and hopefully help people?If they want series 3, buy it if u want but if ur expecting series 4, may not get a lot. 😕
They cost 10 $ each there??? I looked in my country to see if any ppl selling and omg they are selling series 1 for the almost 20$ each even on emag. 🤯🤯🤯 maaaamaaaa 🤯
@@GBKuhleen i saw 100 lei each type prices and even 60 lei each prices in other parts... for just one ball, this is a lot. Well damn economy 🤕... 60 x 6 is 360 lei for 30 minis. Meaning at least 12 lei per mini. Și primești multe duplicate. La rata asta de schimb nu se merită decât dacă ești youtuber și vrei să investești în minis i mean they are a thing. Logica din spatele business-ului e mai interesantă. Pe de o parte este vorba de elementul surpriză pe de alta aspectul estetic si apoi mărimea. Lucrurile mici te fac cumva sa vrei sa le protejezi 😅😅😅 sau așa ceva ...
@@theofairy4077 Da, e foarte scump daca faci asta doar ca si un hobby. Poate daca magazinele ar cumpara direct de la firma si sa le vanda ei ar fi mai ieftin.🤔
@@GBKuhleen aici nu e așa mare piață pentru asta. Poți găsi așa ceva doar la supermarketuri din capitală și online... uneori îmi doresc să locuiesc în capitală pentru că aș avea mai multe oportunități dar în același timp pot să spun cu mâna pe inimă că nu m-aș putea adapta zgomotului infernal. Well i cant move to get minis riiight?;
It doesn't say that in the box. However, the entire design and theme is in Series 4 style + the Showcase website mentions in the description that there are 24 Mini Brands Series 4 inside.😬
