The selling of open blind-boxes is lifted???

So... a few weeks ago we understood that the sale of open blind-box Dunny's was no longer going to be permitted... fast forward to today and it seems as though this is not the case! According to Michael from Strangekiss, in a conversation we were having, and in an answer to a direct question between Michael and their Kidrobot representative, they are allowed to sell opened box Dunny's prior to 2010... this being the case I wonder if it is applicable to all other stores as well... sounds like you might have to get on the horn to your respective KR rep and see if this applies to you, in any case all the Dunny's that were up at Strangekiss will return January 19th in the late afternoon for your purchasing pleasure.
