Investigative Report No.1
The topic is as previously mentioned => the latest trend of having lots of 100 or more (or a bit less) being sold on Ebay at spectacular prices in the pre-bidding stage.
Now, why should this been as an at least somewhat insane purchase idea?, and why could people achieve by engaging in such an acivity of receiving a large lot of toys that need to be assembled.
Mind you - if someone offered a lot of old toys, all would be ideal. The old toys were good, and were meant to be played with; hence the term "toys". However, it is our observation that last several years, and potentially some years beforehand, offered toys that are be to collected, to be organized as sets.
This means that the nature of interaction with KSEs has changed.
Getting back to Ebay sellers, who are certainly offering a well-arranged idea; one must realize that buying a lot of 100 or so toys will certainly not give extra pleassure in the realm of playing with toys. A kid will certainly not have the capability to buy such a lot, and kid's parents will certainly not go into oversaturation of their kid. So, that leaves us with a group of a bit older "kids", who are collectors and nothing else. Because, it is only under such circumstances that the buying of a lot makes sense; there may be a toy you need but could not get within someone else's collection (which is for sale!), so that a financial splash improves your chaces of completing the set - whether it is the 4 3D trees, or 26 note-people, or...well it does not matter.
Playing with the toys you own cannot be improved with the purchase of another hundred from someone else; buying them for the purpose of seeking for one specific piece can -> this is simple reasoning. Hence, with the incorporation of the basics of economics in this issue: the sale of an item exists only because there is a high likelyhood that someone will make a purchase, it can be maintained that people who will buy KSE toys are out there. And, observing the deeper logical reason why would they buy it leaves us with sad understanding that collecting has become the new playing and that may be heart of dimished toy qualtiy in KSEs, which coincidentally are being produced in insanely large sets.
Collecting is the new playing. Unfortunately, this applies to KSEs as well.

Intro to Investigative Report(s)
It is not my nature to write what will be offered here; having written over 50 experimental reports during schooling and then some more beyond (author's note: for further understanding of this statement, please see archive of this blog) I can consider myself to be an experimenter, and not a journalist.
Yet journalistic report is what is required, and as a true scientist I submit myself to the need for open-mindedness and acceptance of different formats. However, the experimental mode of oiur investigation will resume soon.
Some items are already ready for review, and the factor of geographical variance will be more so assessed.
But, I have spent enough time prologuing.
The drammatic items of interest are as follows:
1. Sales of capsule+toy lots (on the order of 50, 100, etc) on Ebay
2. Ever-increasing amount of appearing non-KSEs with the same formula (chocolate+capsule+toy)
1+2 => 3. Collecting (now) vs. playing (the past)
These topics will be duly dissected. For now, it was important to establish the initial expansion of the awareness.
Soon, soon the editorials about the above-mentioned topics will come.
Bare a bit longer.
Thank you.

Posting the Posts
WILL RESUME!
Soon; is today soon enough!?
Because, today it will happen.
But. Which way and what way and whose way will be implemented - I do not know.
Everything is veiled in secrecy.
Just like the info provided by infamous Leader of the Nouvion branch of the French Resistance Michelle (from Allo, Allo). As such, listen carefully - I will be saying this only once.
Once posted, the thing will not be changed.
Grammar and other little nuisances of language life will be in being, as there is no time to be cutsy and sweet.
We are on the front of something very important and very large.
And opposing fractions are mulling around.
We must not let them touch us again.
They surely will watch, but we will make sure that is all they do.
--> Short inputs, a cut, and reemergence of words in burstful manner; we must act like that.
Vive la Kinder Re(tro)sistance!

Needed Info
Things have happened! Our last post, which included inside information about the thought and design process at the KSHQ brought upon us a terrible demise. Demise of physically altering nature.
Namely, our insider information was right; it was dot-on. The dialogue about the "Blue Giant" did go as supposed; However, it was believed that having commentary provided in the manner of imaginative play - it will not be taken seriously by the bad guys.
Instead, they read through our mask, and went after us. Reality was much too close to the reality.
We have been threatened! We have been advised to stop analyzing the toys. One of the methods of conviction included alterations as presented in the photo:
It was only a search for a secure server, and thus unobstructed resistance work that held us up from continuing our experiment. Experiment as a quest for the truth! We cannot allow the public to be unaware of how things are deteriorating inside the plastic capsules embedded in still nicely tasting chocolate. We do not wish only for the chocolate to be good. We want the return of KSE totality to true form!
Vive la retro Kinder!
