At those big arcade like stores there are collection machines which let people to drop off their empty plastic capsules for reuse/recycle.

Complete waste of plastic, and taking advantage of young kids who don't know any better.

Totally agree.

Junk that will end up in landfill. The world does not need anymore of it.

I like it and think it's a nice business idea. But of course I don't buy them at those machines, those give me only an overview or inspiration, because one can get a complete collection or the wished item much quicker and cheaper in the internet shops and online flea markets. And btw complants about plastic garbage is nonsense, when all other normal toys sold for children are much bigger and contain a multiple amount of plastic.
