so many secrets!!!

so many secrets!!!

sorry if this has already been talked about but is it just me or does it seem like so many secrets have been pulled from the new summer series? i unfortunately am not one of the lucky ones (2 full cases and no luck) but i feel like i’ve never seen so many secrets get pulled from a drop before?! especially from cases! i feel like secrets often get pulled from singles but i’ve noticed a lot of people are getting secrets from their full case.

i was wondering if its possibly because SA has started to keep up with the demand a little more since they’re getting more popular by the minute? like more buyers = more sonnys = more secrets (?) just a guess but could be totally off

i’m still gonna try to secret hunt when my local authorized seller brings them in early july. really wanted this unicorn or robby but do not wanna pay reseller prices 💔

reasons pls!!!

hi sorry i’ve never posted in this subreddit before so pls don’t eat me up i just want help! i bought these lippies from an “authorized” makeup seller who has been selling in our local community for years and no one has ever complained about her. she told me that she has authentic limited rhode products and i’m new to rhode and started collecting every lippie i can bc im obsessed with them so ofc i bought ones i don’t have , from her. i posted them online and a bunch of people messaged me saying they’re fake. im not in denial and can fully believe that they’re fake, i just want to know how can you tell?? i don’t need convincing, i believe now that they’re fake. but i just need help on how to spot it! don’t wanna waste money like this again and would like to know what specifically about them screams fake and how to avoid it next time. i am a visual learner so if anyone has real ones directly from rhode, id love to see images in comparison and reasons why you can tell yours is real vs my fake ones please! i posted this in the original rhode subreddit and mods deleted it and messaged me to look through their impossible megathread. not to be annoying but i didnt wanna see just pictures! i wanted actual help and advice 🥲 please if anyone is kind enough, help a girl out!!

sus autho sellers in my city

TLDR weird authorized sellers in my city that were rude & racist and possibly taking out secrets from cases (THEORY)

honestly reading this might be a waste of time but i just needed to get it off my chest.

this is just a silly rant but idk who else to tell this to and
i really need to get it off my chest. when my fiancé came to visit me from out of state, he wanted to take me blind box shopping. i have been wanting to get sonny’s in person but nowhere near me sold them. randomly while he was here i decided to check the authorized sellers list in my state just to check, although i’ve known for years know one in my state sells actual sonnys. anyway, by my surprise, the list had somehow updated and there was actually an authorized seller only 30 mins away from me! the craziest part is that we were already on our way to that city for something else. and i just so happened to see that at the same time.

so we end up going to this children’s clothing boutique (the autho sellers) and we buy SO many sonnys. i mean like … SOOO many. to the point that the cashier recommended we sign up for their reward system because it would be worth it for how much we were about to spend.

so now i’m excited because ive been collecting for almost 2 years and finally theres a store nearby that sells them! no more online shopping!

after my fiancé goes back home, i decide to go check out the place by myself. the same cashiers were there and very nice to me. cool.
a week later i go again to take my little cousin who recents just got into sonny’s. new cashiers are there. very weird people. mind yall, two things: 1. we’re brown. we are used to people being weird with us. 2. we’re spending a ridiculous amount of money in this store that looks like
it gets almost no traffic. you would think they’d be kind & grateful.

a few weeks later my cousin and i go again. the ladies are even WEIRDED. the original nice cashier was there when i first visited the store and she is the only reason i stayed sane because the others were making such passive aggressive jokes about how we’re getting more sonny’s they’ve ever seen anyone get before. clearly we’re financially able to and CLEARLY no one ever comes to this dumb store bc every time we’ve gone it’s been empty. why are you being rude to your one and only customers in the store? who are clearly on their way to being loyal customers??

then finally about a few weeks later i go again. idk why tbh bc my last couple experiences have not been great. but im just happy as a collector that there’s finally somewhere near me that has the one and only thing that’s been bringing me joy in the personal chaos that i’ve been currently living in.

this was my final straw and where it was actually the weirdest and craziest it’s been. i walk in, there’s a new lady i’ve never seen before. she’s old, and as a brown person, that info is important bc usually it’s the elders who are the meanest to me. they think i’m an anti american immigrant that’s gonna take over their country.

anyway, i go to the back of the counter to start shaking boxes. something i’m 100% allowed to do bc other workers have allowed it every single other time. the old lady is LITERALLY huffing and puffing the whole time. a sweet middle aged lady who’s from NY innocently says “oh wow you’re allowed to shake here! most stores in NY don’t even let us touch the boxes let alone shake them!”
i laugh and continue.

the old lady says “i wish WE had that rule.” i turned around looked at her with an *are you deada$$* face because uh hello you’re obviously saying that towards me im literally the only person in here shaking boxes.
then she goes “i HATE that people can touch the boxes”. okay…
then these two young girls come in, they’re around my age. the only difference between me and them is that they’re white with blond hair and blue eyes… the old lady is SO sweet to them. they ask her “can we check out the sonny’s behind the counter” ofc she says yes. then after a minute she goes “as long as it doesn’t take TOO long because we can’t have TOO many people behind the counter.”

i take the boxes in my hand and go to the front of the counter. she goes “are you getting those?” … yes obviously. but i actually say “yeah but im not done. i don’t wanna have TOO many people behind the counter. i’ll give them their space. i’m sure they’re going to be MUCH faster than me.”
she rolls her eyes. i go back after the girls leave and take my sweet ol time, shaking all the boxes i want. i originally went in for 2-3 angels. i left with much more, completely out of pettiness. when i brought all the boxes to the front she goes “wow. i’ve never seen someone get so many before.” i said “yeah i live about 40 minutes away so instead of coming and taking up so much space i just try to get as many as i want now so i dont have to come back for awhile”

she REPEATS HERSELF “yeah but ive just never seen ANYONE get this many before. even people who come from all over the country.” im sorry yall.. if you knew where i lived, you would know no one is coming from out of state for THIS store.. like do you mean the one & only lady who is here from NYC? and she wasn’t even there for sonnys.

then i paid for my items with cash. why is that important? IDK CAN SOMEONE TELL ME?? bc when i pulled out cash she says “oh .. cash?? okay..” like WTFFFF why does it matter if im paying cash??

so after i paid i kindly spoke with the lady from
NYC and another work and i was being very nice to them and the WHOLE TIME the old lady was huffing and puffing with her arms crossed, as if i was ruining her day. she genuinely was not a fan of the fact that people were being nice to me.

my last thing to say about this store; 3 out of the 5 ladies i meant were kind and allowed me to take space in there store. but the vibes were definitely weird no matter what. and the first time i ever met them, probably before they knew id be a familiar face, they admitted to the fact that they ripped open a brand new case of sonnys to look for a secret. and they also said that they mix new cases with old cases so there’s a chance of you getting a dupe from the same box. between me, my cousin, and my fiancé, we’ve probably opened over 100 sonnys from this store and not one of us has pulled a secret. not saying that that’s impossible bc it’s a secret for a reason, hard to find. but now because of how weird these ladies have been, and all the strange things they’ve said, my cousin and i have a THEORY (emphasis on theory) that they weigh and take out secrets. bc one of the ladies (i’m guessing an owner) has told me that she is very into the sonny world. these aren’t just some middle aged karen’s that don’t know anything about the value these days. i feel like it’s extremely possible that they’re not ethical in this store. anyways i don’t want to expose the store because this has just been my experience. but it is something i needed to get off my chest.

doubt anyone is reading all of this but it feels nice to have typed it all out. maybe i’ll also share the story in a video for my few followers on insta or maybe this will finally make me get over it bc it’s been on my mind for weeks.

HER FIRST SMISKIS (secret)

my cousin is an at home barista and she has the cutest coffee/matcha station in her house! she’s extremely well known for her matcha so i always tell her she needs smiskis around her coffee/matcha station like all the people on pinterest! so i decided since i collect them that i would be the first to get her one. i went to UO and there were only 3 boxes left. i picked two and one felt super heavy and i felt in my heart it was the secret but since i already set the intention that it was for her, i decided not to open it. we opened both together at her house and she not only pulled a mini secret in the first box, but she also pulled the actual secret in the second box 😭 what are the chances?! i had a feeling but i wanted to be good and keep them closed so she can have the full unboxing experience. i hope this good deed comes back to me next time i get this series bc i’ve been wanting this secret 😭😭😭😭😭

PULLED MY FIRST SMISKI SECRET

i recently posted on here that my fiancé finally got into smiskis after years of me trying to convince him. he finally bought his first one and it was the secret headphones hipper! i have been jelly ever since and told myself im going to pull a secret smiski soon to show off to him i can do it too 🤣
i will say though that i did pull the series one “secret” before which was just the regular sitting guy but he came with the mini secret bestie that everyone’s putting on their phones and i followed tips for him too!!

for anyone wondering: i pulled both secrets (dressing & mini secret) from Urban Outfitters!!

tips note: i have not weighed him yet (will update with his weight once im home) but i will say that he has littleee to no shake (more towards no shake) and he is very tall in the box although he’s bending a little. BUT for future notice of anyone secret hunting this guy, i bought three boxes and the guy pulling up his pants feels almost EXACTLY the same as the secret in the box. i unfortunately now have two of the guys pulling up their pants (still in foil and will be UFS soon). So please when you’re secret hunting this series, don’t be disappointed or surprised to find that you make have the guy pulling up his pants bc he is also very tall and little to no shake! i pulled the pants guy 3x before i got the secret 🥲

as a original sonny angel collector, i LOVE the rabbits in every series; so pulling this secret means a lot to me! so happy to finally have him 🥰 im sending secret luck to everyone who is searching! may secrets be pulled for all readers in the very near future!! 💚

HELP! ISO heirloom owala

Hi, I’ve never posted in this chat before so I hope this is the right flair to use. I’m in search of this Heirloom Owala that I believe came out last year!

Random backstory if anyone cares: recently my mom finally got her first house after 30 years of living with her in laws. For all those years, she dreamed of her own house and a chinoiseries / blue & white themed kitchen (not sure why, i think it reminds her of her childhood), and now she finally has been able to do that! Anyways, my siblings and whole family all own Owala’s and always talk about how much we love them. She feels left out because she doesn’t have one. I have been on the search for the perfect one for her, one she’ll actually love and use! I randomly came across the Heirloom Owala on depop and couldn’t believe my eyes; the perfect owala for my mama! But the seller has it up for $110 :(
I love my mom and I really want to get it for her, but I can’t justify $110 on an originally $50 tumbler.

Finally, all I’m asking is if someone, anyone, has this tumbler brand new and unused for a decent price!? I know it’s a reach, but as my mom always says, “closed mouths don’t get fed.” so I may as well ask! Please someone help a mama’s girl out 🥹💙🤍🩵

his first pull!!!

i’ve been trying to convince my fiancé to get into blind boxes for years now (i collect many types but mainly sonnys). i told him i know you wouldn’t be interested in sonnys but at least smiskis, they match your aesthetic! smiskis remind me so much of him, especially the work series because he is a paralegal & in law school.

recently a TESO life opened up near him & he decided to go check it out (we’re long distance so i had no idea he went at the time, he was trying to surprise me with goodies)

he ended up getting a smiski for himself, facetimes me to tell me he wanted a hipper to put on his motorcycle, flips the camera AND ITS THE SECRET!!! literally his first and only pull 😭 it’s true when they say boyfriend luck & beginners luck is real!!🤣

Fair Price?

HELP! i wanna sell these babies (looking for extra cash to help pay for my wedding dress) but they’re really hard to let go of. My question is, what’s a fair price / what are they going for?
I want to be fair to the buyer, but as the seller since these are some rare ones in my collection i’d also like a fair price for myself to feel like i didn’t get rid of them for no reason 😔

I hope this doesn’t sound weird or greedy! 🥲 i am open to offers but i also just wanna make sure im not lowballing myself bc i do love these babies, just in a desperate situation atm 😔

(also note for the admins: this isn’t an official ufs post, just looking for help rn which is why there’s no pol yet!)
