Iwako Erasers Bulk Overstock (Pack Of 30)

Ordered from new seller Cool Japan Market. Best price by far, probably an introductory price to garner some feedback (which I've left for the seller; I'm very satisfied). Bought 2 packs of 30 overstock erasers and 2 packs of 20 animals. There were no duplicates within any of the packs, which is superb; however 15 of the 20 animals in the animal pack were also present in the other set (so I now have 4 copies of each of 15 animals, which is OK for my purposes). Some of the objects and vehicles in the assortment were different from one pack to the other, but they were chosen with care and are very similar. Used as rewards for children (ages 4 and 7) and the kids love them and play with them a lot (together!!). They prefer the animals, and build habitats and medical facilities for them from construction paper and clementine boxes. The erasers have a very pleasant, flexible feel, and they smell fine -- like erasers! Taking them apart and putting them back together is fun, although the younger one lost the eyes of the turtle (satisfactorily replaced with black play-doh which has now dried; Sculpey would be my next option if the play-doh crumbles too easily). These are larger and more playable (and to me, much cuter) than Shopkins. Now that I've purchased the "low-hanging fruit", so to say, I suspect sourcing more, different Iwako erasers will be much more difficult than this was. Still better than buying concealed packs of Shopkins for massive prices!

Exactly what I was after - would buy again in a heartbeat!

Authentic Iwako, no doubles, awesome pack great for gift bags, rewards, stocking stuffers, present toppers, keep in purse for "emergency play," etc! Super fun, adorable critters, food and sports items (no guns here, as some others have had), beautifully made, non-toxic. Love them. Kids also love them as insta-toys at birthday and other parties (have a bowl of them out), keeps them busy. Be mindful that they each have 2-3 removable parts (like a mini puzzle) and that they would be choking hazards for tiny ones. The seller I purchased from sells authentic Iwakos, which are factory sealed and always have labels on the bags that say Iwako, Made in Japan. Beware of fakes, form China!

I bought two sets of 30 for party favors for my 9-year-old daughter because she's very into Iwako erasers. I was a little afraid of lots of duplicates/boring ones, given some of the reviews. It's definitely a random mix, but the number of duplicates is not bad, and the only real duds, I'd say, are two boring black footballs. Among the rest, there are about 15 animals, a bunch of trucks, some other sports stuff, lots of foods, and some other random stuff, like a set of teeth with cavities in it. :) Most of them are extremely cute. I think it will make for a fun "grab bag" type thing. Because of the risk of duplicates/odd ones, I did buy more than we really need, and I would recommend that to others, too, so you can cull any real duds. But I have no problem with that, given that most are super cute, the price was really good, and this is "the" hot thing as far as my daughter is concerned. Overall, I'm very pleased. I'd say, yes, expect some randomness as with any assortment -- but go for it!

I loved everything I got just the thing I I kinda dislike about it is it all came majority of food but that’s ok :) next time I’m just gonna buy bulk of food and animals next time
