Heres some other news related to double secrets. Brian and my warehouse team are working VERY hard to rollout a different shipping option for international orders that could save you anywhere from $2-9 on an average order (those numbers could change as we learn more). It is in its experimental infancy, but I am working hard to make it an option in time for double secrets and core 2. If I can't get proof of its efficiency by then, just know we are working on the shipping costs across the board. We hear you, we appreciate the feedback and we are making it a priority. Pinky swear!

Agreed. It doesn't need to be a super low cap like 5 boxes/person, but maybe 10 would be a good number to stop at?
Not sure. I think before the hype train was throttled up to full Willy Wonka a few days ago, I would have agreed with 10. Even the merest suggestion that there might be a DLC in there is going to drive people to buy more boxes than they normally would.
Agree with both of you,but difficult to do with a store, unless they do like with Badges and manually check everything.
Agreed. I guess my ideal scenario would be a per-transaction cap + making multiple blind box buys ineligible for combined shipping. (Sorry Moon people)
Gold Overwatch is my guess -- I'm sure there were a few floating around to the staff at East. @gn0x has it marked as want/need, and @DefaultGen doesn't have it in his collection.
Gone away for a few days, so I missed the news, but this is good news indeed @merchmistress. Please update on that - it certainly makes things slightly more affordable for the international fans. I'm definitely excited about the boxes, and plan to get a few, so cheaper shipping is highly appreciated.
All I'm saying is, if I buy a blind box and it's not double Daves, I'm going to be sorely disappointed, and will probably flip the table with the MtG cards, life counters, and even my hand-made tokens.

Don't worry guys, @merchmistress has learned to ignore @fishfishmonkeyhat. She is working on a poem hint for one of the other pins in the boxes, and made me promise not to give any clues, so sounds like you guys are on your own for this one.
And @Pruncible, the randomization process was pretty good. If a box does exist with double Dave (what a glorious box that would be) the odds of you getting it seems pretty small. Apologies to your tables in advance.
This is just torture at this point because it reminds me how far June is to buy them. How likely do you think it is of getting them before Prime?

This is actually a very important question. If I plan on dropping $300 on blind boxes and don't have them available to trade at Prime, then that would drastically reduce the amount of blind boxes I would get.
Pins for trade!

I think it's very fair to assume these will ship right away this time, I'll let the overlords confirm that though.
I don't live down in the bunker like @merchmistress but it seems reasonable that they would ship pretty fast assuming you don't order some pre-release thing that has to keep getting delayed. But keep in mind there will be a bolus of orders, so it may not all ship the exact day ordered. Disclaimers about not being able to guarantee what the post will do, etc, etc.
Far as exact timing, while she said Soon(tm) a long time ago, it is now more soon than it used to be. #halping.
Also she reminded me June is actually less than 2 weeks away now.

Your pin hunting ODYSSEY may take your search far and wide,
For MANY A MOON you'll fill your collection with pride,
The search can be daunting, but its the rare ones you seek,
The searching and squinting may leave a WRINKLE across your cheek,
Though we 'cant live forever' and we dont all 'swim in cash',
FAME may be measured by your vast Pinny stash.

Best news I've had all day! :-)
Only a mere 136 pins to go!
I'm hoping it's 10. If it's not, then I fear I may buy 20.

I... I wasn't ever assuming there was going to be a DLC when I made my comments :-(

Pins!
The only pins they have in common under "Want" is the DLC. Are you looking at their available pins?

"Damn fine pins!"
I believe she only listed one of them as a "want".

Edit:
As a completely random question on your opinion, of course... Ahem.

You won't get any pins, only Amiibo.

Most likely 2 in each...
