    I'm tempted to add in Pinmash ratings and just toss in a pivot table of the average forum user's Pinmash ratings to determine who was the most unfortunate. Is there any other data people would like to see?

    I didn't include my common pins in my original post if you want to include those in my list: Elf Tycho, Lookouts Leader, Lookouts 04, Binwin, Jim Darkmagic. That should bring my high stats down a bit :)

    out of curiosity, the people with a bunch of lookouts, did you order when they were first available, or when the second batch was added? I'm just curious if maybe they held out on the lookouts until they had no choice but to use them.

    All of mine in my video were second batch. The first two boxes were ordered after the last 10, but on the same day. 11x Lookouts from 12 boxes.

    I ordered mine in the first run, four boxes, three of the exact same lookout pin.

    I got my final 10 boxes (ordered only pins on Cyber Monday, PA must be very busy since it did not ship until yesterday, traveled about 150 miles):

    - Lookouts 04 & Cardinal
    - Project Spark & Baby Gabe
    - Colonial Kemper & Flesh Reaper (2012)
    - CTS (2013) & Vampire Tyhco
    - Hatty Hattington & PAX Aus 10th Year
    - Lookouts 04 & Colonial Kemper
    - Star & Lookouts 04
    - Hatty Hattington & PAX Aus 10th Year
    - Santa Gabe & Viking
    - Cardinal & PAX Prime 2014 Logo

    For my pins out of 16 boxes:
    - Only 4 lookouts (all lookouts 04)
    - 3 "great" pins
    - 11 "good" pins

    Very happy with what I got, even though I only received one new pin out of the 32, but it provides a nice variety of trade pins other than just the sets online. I cannot wait for boxes to be available again to order more.

    How are we awarding best and worst pulls? based on % or of total gross greatness/terribility?

    Deliciousness. Some pulls are quantifiably more tasty than others. We are looking for edibility.

    How about measuring the amount of spit up you had to hold back?

    4 for 4 PAX 14 logos. Cardinal, Hatty Hattington, Anubis and Halloween FFer to round it out.

    Not great, I guess it could have been 4 Logos and 4 Lookouts though.

    Updated numbers! Current numbers account for 462 pins, a total of 231 Double Secret Boxes. Wish I knew how many were released...

    The ratio of 2013 pins to 2014 pins has remained fairly stable, hovering around the 3:2 mark. Currently there have been 282 2013 pins (61.04%) versus 180 2014 pins (38.96%).

    The rate of drops for Tycho pins has remained fairly stable, with 16 pins so far (3.46%). The drop rate for Gabes has slowed up though with 59 pins (12.77%). The ratio of Tychos to Gabes has dropped from 1:5 to < 1:4

    Exactly 50% of pins have come from PAX Prime, a total of 231 pins. 60 PAX East pins have dropped (12.99%), with a mere 9 PAX Australia pins (1.95%). This leaves 35.06% of pins which have come from other sources (Online, PAX Staff etc.)

    There have been 16 Limited Edition pins claimed so far (3.46%), with the following breakdown:

    PAX Aus 10th year - 7
    Valentines Day - 4
    PAX East 10th year - 2
    Carl - 2
    PAX Prime 10th year - 1
    15th Anniversary - 0
    Hanna - 0
    DLC Kickstarter - 0

    Finally, the top ten pins found so far:

    1) Lookouts (any) - 59
    2) PAX Prime 2014 Logo - 45
    3) Baby Gabe - 26
    4) Age of Empires - 25
    5) Viking - 13
    6) Coffee Kemper - 12
    7=)Cardinal - 11
    7=) Hatty Hattington -11
    9=) Merch -10
    9=) Iron Horde -10

    The drop rate for Lookouts is currently 12.77%. That equates to one lookout in every 8 pins, or 1 lookout per four boxes.

    My son and I each opened our Blind Boxes from Santa. He received a Vampire Tycho (which he had) and a Ben pin. I received a Starry and an Iron Horde, both of which I needed. Not too shabby.

    Did you trade one of yours to him, making sure he set up the trade correctly on Pinny Pals so you could both get the feedback points?
