How many people have been buying but never pull anything?

Postby Joker3346 » Fri Jul 29, 2022 9:22 am

I've yet to pull a legendary.. only a few packs here and there but I thought I'd eventually pull one. Best option start buying them instead of packs I guess

I’ve been buying for many months and I’ve pulled numerous redeemables. Not sure what else to say lol when you say a few packs are they standard or premium? The number of cards plays a role when you’re in the single digits in terms of odds/percentage of pulling a redeemable item.

Its interesting you bring that up. I mostly buy premium packs (90%) and whenever I buy standards it’s aftermarket using wax I get from selling duplicates. I’d have to say that my redeemables are divided by 60/40 in terms of pulling them from premium packs. Some of the best packs I’ve had have been standards, where 2 of the 5 cards have been redeemables. My best grail (scooby) came from a standard pack!

I have not had great luck recently (only pulled one redeemable from the last four sets) but I have pulled redeemables from a lot of the releases, including the Halloween, Star Trek, and Nick grails. One thing I have noticed for me: if I open the packs immediately, I get duds. If I show some self control and wait until after work to open, my pulls are better. Probably just a coincidence though lol

It all averages out over time. Initially I had crazy good luck, then went on a dry spell, back to good luck, and now on a dry spell again.

I hit good on the nickelodeon NFT, I bought 3 standard packs and got 2 legendaries Amber and Vlad, then I went into Atomic Market (secondary market) where you buy with Wax coin, and I I got 2 more standard packs and hit Tommy grail. It's all luck, I even heard some people hitting 2 redeemable pop's with one pack sometimes.

I have a fair shares of pulling redeemables from both standard n premium packs so it’s really depends on luck. I will usually buy a few packs and after that try to complete the set on order to get my royalty set.

I think I've had pretty good luck. For every drop that I wanted something out of, I got a redeemable out of a pack, Halloween got the Freddy soda, Nicktoons got Ember McLain, Scooby got Witch doctor soda and Redbeard, MLP got Luna, Chrysalis and shimmer.

Also got quite a few epics each time I wanted to complete royalty, which was Nicktoons, Scooby and MLP.

Luck of the draw. I'd love to pull every redeemable, but I try to stick to only $60 on the drop day and go from there. Win some, lose some.

I've had okay luck, except for DC and Transformers. Transformers was really bad (based upon money spent without getting Legendary) and was only able to complete Royalty for that line.

It's all a gamble for sure. Didn't pull anything on Scooby, but I hit the jackpot for My Little Pony. Which is good for me because that's my ride-or-die! Sometimes the singles come down enough on the aftermarket to justify just buying what you want!

I treat NFTs like gambling and expect no results when I open a pack. During the Nickelodeon drop, I bought the max amount of pack possible and my only redeemable was Chuckie. Some people are more lucky with their pulls than other, but it’s all about being persistent.

Wow, that's interesting to know. I only jumped on the NFT train for Scooby-Doo but missed the drop. I bought my NFTs in Atomic Market. Then I haven't been super keen on any drops since. But I definitely want to try out buying the packs. I've heard from a few people that they have done well just out of the standard packs. Cool.

The few times I’ve purchased packs I’ve always pulled a redeemable; I haven’t purchased anything since the Halloween set; hoping DBZ or another Freddy drop; but besides that I haven’t spent too much since my wallet hurts from all the drops that happen almost monthly!

The first few drops I tried for (TMNT, Big Boy, halloween) I barely hit any epics even. It wasn't until retro when i hit my first legendary. I've gotten ay least one in every series I've tried since then. I kinda treat it like a slot machine... if I get skunked on a bad pack, I'll cool off for a bit, let some mojo build up, and come back to it later.

I have only hit on the Nickelodeon drop, I got 2 redeemable. But the other 4 drops I tried I got nothing. Really just luck of the draw, but got to be in it to have a shot

When is the best time to hit the secondary market for packs?

I am assuming I'm gonna take the L the drop. So do I hit atomic right after drop or wait a little for prices to settle?

I usually sell my packs and just buy the Pop that I'm looking to get or get cards I need to complete the Freddy's. The only time I opened packs was when I bought my sons 2 Premium packs of MLP and hit a grail Rarity in each pack.

My luck with standards are TERRIBLE. No redeemables yet

BUT, i have pulled a handful from premium packs!!

Still not lucky like those other folks that get MULTI redeemable in one pack NOR have I ever pulled a grail.

Lol. Pure luck!

For me, its been hit or miss. Some drops I get nothing at all and others I end up practically completing the set. I will say that its helpful to have friends that are involved because you can trade and help one another. We have a Gastlecast NFT messenger chat group where we buy, sell, and trade NFTs. Most of the folks in there are absolute beasts at NFTs and are often very help with both info and helping complete sets. Highly recommend this group if anyone wants some help, learn more, or have a great group of people to discuss NFTs with.

I have 17 redeemable pops on the way. My favorite drop so far has been Kelloggs and that and big boy were my most unluckiest drops. I pulled the mlp grail and sold it to buy the Tony jr. I’m having a lot of fun with the nfts. It is like gambling though so I try and pace myself to a certain limit and trade a lot of extras to get what I want. I wish I knew back then around the tmnt and big boy drop what I know now though lol

I only buy standard packs and have had some really good luck. HB was the first drop that I participated in where I didn't pull any redeemables. Although I only bought 6 packs for that one.

I've had really good luck with MLP - I missed out on getting them during the initial sale so I had to buy secondary. Luckily the price dropped so I got some packs for under retail. Both Grails came from Premium packs, but I did buy a few Standard and one of my Standards had two Legos in it. It really just is luck - Droppp has stated in their Discord that the number of the pack etc. don't matter (like packs aren't prefilled with certain cards). When you rip that pack, the chances are the same no matter when you rip or buy it.

I probably would be super discouraged if my first time dabbling in these I didn't get any redeemables though and looking at the chances they are really low that you actually pull something so I'm super grateful for my luck. I did drop a fair amount of money though on packs, so that's something to keep in mind too.

My luck with nft’s altogether isn’t that great, but for the times I have been successful I gotten a legendary or two. Shoot for the premium packs only, I hope your luck changes so that you don’t have to resort to buying on the secondary market. lol
