Had a lot of luck with Nick and Scooby. Every other drop has been a dud for me

I’ve tried a few times. I’ve only got in 2 times and the best thing I’ve gotten is an epic. Very hard to get in, but I’ll continue to try.

I have not had a lot of luck lately but been getting royalty sets so that is something. A friend of mine pulled 2 grails in 1 pack, just wow.

Past two drops I have struck out leading me to be hesitant to rip Avatar packs this weekend...but it's sooo much fun to open packs.

Overall I guess I would say my luck is ok. 10 packs over 3 drops, 2 redeemables. I think from now on unless I need a redeemable, i'll just do Royalty on atomichub and not buy any packs.

It's really disheartening when you spend a lot though and get pretty bad luck with dupes in the packs.

Yup! Reminds me of opening packs of sports cards and Pokémon cards as a kid. And more recently, Funko Sodas and packs of Animal Crossing amiibo cards.

Unfortunately, odds are very low for redeemables. I've been on both extremes - purchased 10 standard packs of Halloween set and pulled 3 grails plus one of each legendary versus JaSB set where I pulled no redeemables with most cards being common/uncommon.

Yup, and they give us the odds for the redeemables with each drop. So we know what we're signing up for. And if you check the PopInStock tracker, you can kinda see around how many grails and each legendary have been collected and how many are remaining. I'm still a little sour from the MMPR drop, where I was 1 min away from getting in to buy packs and they were sold out.

Not sure if you are able to use the secondary market, but if you are the MLP packs are all selling for less than retail ($25-$27 for premium).

Over time it seems to have matched the odds for me. A Legendary every 4 Premium packs or so.

Same here. I think overall, I've broken even. The odds are really low like with everything blind boxed. But when you pull a legendary or grail...it all becomes worth it. lol

Oh wow. Fortunately my partner finished 1 MLP royalty set and pulled a Maud Pie legendary from packs so I don't think we're gonna do more to get the other redeemables. Just gonna concentrate on Power Rangers for now, maybe we'll keep an eye on the ATLA Painted Lady legendary. Good luck to anyone still working on MLP though and tries their luck with packs.

We had the worst luck with pulling any legendaries or grails early on up until Retro Comics, with a Flash Gordon legendary.

I've yet to ever pull a redeemable grail to this point. Participated in a good amount of NFT drops.

Recently ended up buying the Royalty set for the Power Rangers drop to get my first Loyalty redeemable.

Scooby was my only positive drop.
Took a nice L on Avatar and Power Rangers. I passed on the latest DC drop.

I did very well with the redeemables up through Star Trek. It's slowed down a lot since then but I'm also not buying as many packs so probably correlates.

I finally got in after an hour and there were still a lot of premium packs left. I purchased one and pulled a Legendary Green lantern. I was happy to just get in but I guess its back to normal for the next drop... 8-[

It's all just RNG really. When you look at the odds of even pulling a redeemable (most at only about 1%) you assume a lot of people wont pull one. I personally have been pretty lucky - except for DC where I got FOMO and bought too many packs and only got 1 Epic - definitely took a huge loss on that one. At the end of the day it's really just gambling IMO - you get some cool digital art and a small chance at something physical :)

Most drops it would have certainly been cheaper to just buy all the redeemable Nfts from atomic hub, unless I pull a Grail.

I have had better luck with the standard packs though.

I was initially on a heater and have been cold for a few months now. Then again, I have opted to buy off ahub more so than ripping recently.

Taken a L on the ones I have tried. Most the time I have to grab on the aftermarket since the queue never rolls in my favor. But it is gambling and all about your luck. So we will see if the streak is broken next time.
