    Yeah that's the gambler's fallacy of large numbers...never fun, especially when some have opened 1 or 2 and got it. Congrats to them, but in a lottery situation it is depressing :P

    Double Secret Blind Box pin list
    update once again.
    27 pins accounted for.
    533 boxes ordered account for.
    Of those 394 boxes open.
    The odds have stayed the same so far.

    Based on a count of 27 pins out of 394 boxes opened, this is looking "good" for people to obtain Illidan Merch in the next blind box order (and by good, I mean possible... the odds are forever not in your favor, given the current numbers though).

    Either that, or every AUS order is going to have 1 Illidan per box!

    Pins for trade!

    10 boxes. Zero DSB Merch . I'm new to this, but I got some better than average, but nothing to write home about. Right?
    • Core 1.0 Gabe x2
    • Core 1.0 Fruit Fucker
    • Core 1.0 Tycho
    • Catsby x2
    • Binwin Bronzebottom
    • Merch 2.0
    • PAX AUS 2014 Logo
    • Dropbear
    • Emu
    • Tourist Tycho x2
    • Hotstepper Gabe
    • Jamie Series 1
    • Tycho Tot x2
    • Juggernaut

    If they keep this drop rate the same for the DSB Merch in future DSBes, that 500 should last for 6500 more boxes. Which makes me think the drop rate is probably 6.66% Which is 1-in-15. Which is 500/7500. And for those less into probability, that means if you open 15 boxes, your chance of getting 1 or more DSB Merches is ~64%.

    If you buy 12, you have a 56% to get 1 or more. Your chances of getting X DSB Merches is:
    0: 43.9%
    1: 37.6%
    2: 14.6%
    3: 3.4%
    4: 0.5%
    5-12: <0.1%
    The chance to go 12 for 12 would be 1/400 Trillion
    <edited to reflect actual number of DSB Merches, and added some more drop rates>

    My 5 boxes got here today. Sadly no LE Merch, but still a good batch. Didn't have the Davey Crockett or Atoi pins, and the Kemperoo pins will be great for trading at East next year :)

    Juggernaut is a 2013 pin that you don't see around all that much; people won't be crazy-go-nuts for it, but if you ask around I bet you can get a good trade.

    8 boxes arrived and opened. No Donatello, nor rocks. I was really hoping for the secret rock drop in my boxes ;)

    Added them all to my Pinny Pals, so feel free to stop on over if one tickles your fancy.

    It is going to be difficult not to just hang out at merchlite all day erry day at PAX and trade pins.
    Don't let merchmistress or Erick rat me out to Brian, but I've been hoarding pins away like a rodent since day one, so I have A FEW impressive caches of rare goodies.

    I knew there would be a reason for me not to melt those down!

    I am glad that the DSB didn't sell till this month because if it sold in Joon™ then there would be no way anyone would be opening them in the merch lite line in 9day

    We got our pin bags today, and the blue one is a misprint:

    nlny5afdapxj.jpg

    The logo is upside down on our blue one (our orange one is correct). Given that this is such a rare and desirable misprint, I'm sure someone will be along to offer me four Leeroys for it any second now... :o
