    I love it! Great design and execution and a lovely surprise for us all!

    I wonder whether we'd have year variants moving forward or maybe "interpret" other characters in DSB LE form eg. Gabe, Tycho etc.

    I'd hope (and look forward) for the latter :D

    Pretty cool revelation. I feel similarly to what was already mentioned - great to see some community rep. :) Hope to pull one, but won't be heartbroken if I don't. Would absolutely love to buy more, but I can't justify it, so more boxes for the rest of you. ;P

    Oh wow, what a nice thing to do for the Blind Boxes! Props to whoever came up with the idea.

    And seeing that wall of 24 DSB made me shed a little tear at the beauty of it T_T

    Sigh, I always miss these.

    I guess I'll be just happy when I see my shipped email. ordered them within minutes and I don't even have confirmation they've shipped yet.

    and I'm happy and sad for the new pin.esp when you look at people who ordered >12 pins and got a good share. I'm just hoping for 1. if I get a 2nd its trading for sure (but that's how I am) :)

    Just saw.

    And now that door is closed.

    I've ordered three. And, honestly, I'm glad I'm not ordering more. If I was meant to have this pin, I'll get it.

    So, is @Happendy the first private collector to corner the market on a whole 1% of a pins release?

    No, at one point I had 25 Piggleworth, 25 Chainsaw suits and 3 DLCs(though 2 weren't for me)

    if there is time and a table that we can use, we should set up a wall of unopened boxes at PAX and then convince @merchmistress to do a monkey dance around them :biggrin:

    I only ordered 2 boxes and my haul was: Tycho Tot, Jim Darkmagic, Core Set 1.0 Gabe, and Core Set 1.0 FF. Congrats to those who have pulled the DSB Merch, what a great looking pin!

    These numbers are going to be super inaccurate due to the relatively small sample size, but right now we have 64 boxes recorded and 6 blindbox merch pins. I'm going to lean towards the high end of the standard deviation and guess that there's a 1/8 chance of a box containing the pin and that there were 1000 DSBs made. That would mean only 125 of these pins will be out in the wild until the next (Black Friday?) blind box release.

    Or the numbers could be super skewed and everyone here who hasn't received their boxes yet has like 5 BB Merch pins waiting for them. Only time will tell :razz:

    If I get a spare in either of my 2 boxes I'll offer it up to the person who can offer me the most common fodder pins.

  • ArcticLancerArcticLancer Best served chilled. Registered User regular
    That's not a bad lot at all. Though your absence of DSB LEs just makes Happendy's order look that much more stacked and ludicrous. :(

    My soul really hurts right now -- I only bought two boxes :( We had shit-tons of fodder left over from East etc, and I figured there wasn't really a reason to hoover up a mountain of the DSBs. Not in my wildest fever dream did I imagine that the second scarcest limmited edition pin in history would be randomly peppered throughout them.

    I feel really bad for @thx42 though; if I bought 24 DSBs and didn't even get one of the pins I would probably be crying right now.

    I agree My fodder level was high at east and I got rid of a good 50 pins. I bought 12 right after I found out and I will be back up again. opps

    I realized yesterday I have more fodder than I thought I did. Only getting three DSBs is probably a good thing for me.

    I ordered on Monday and haven't gotten a shipping email either. There was some talk that they changed how these emails go out - I think they shipped, just something is up with the e-mail notification system.

    Yeah by the time I got my shipping email notification, the pins were at my doorstep.

    Just got my shipment - the bags are very snazzy, and quite a bit larger than I expected! Anyways, I only got two blind boxes, so the pins I got were: Hatty Hattington (the Behemoth), Sexy Nurse Gabe, Jim Darkmagic, and Balloon Man. I did finish off my Killer Instinct collection, though (which is why I only got two blind boxes)

    I'd say there is no need to worry.

    Wow, I go to bed thinking I'll pick up some more boxes in the morning but they went quick it seems :P

    Edit: Basically I messed up, should have guessed that once the limited pin was revealed they would be sold out. Now to wait for my own boxes...

    Why is it always inevitable that, though I only collect pins that mean something to me, the pins that I want are always SUPA RARE

    Because if they were easy to get then they wouldn't be as memorable as say playing a lottery (dsb) or being at the right place and time (most PAX pins)

    This pin was pretty darn secret- the merch team, @Beker and Robert were in the know but it was kept secret from the rest of us. So seeing that unboxing video was INCREDIBLY thrilling! I love this community, y'all.

    I'm really glad I recorded it then. I wasn't even completely sure I was the only person at that point until I went back through the thread. I wish @Happendy had recorded his reaction because it would have been sooooo opposite mine.
