Day 19 of Armadeadvent I opened the box labeled "Vladimir Putin" and I got...
Blood Rage FF and Splatter Galahad
I'll go ahead and just edit this in..
Day 20 of Armadeadvent I opened the box labeled "!" or "i" if you turn it upside down... I got...
Splatter Galahad and Splatter Annarchy
I missed out on the DSB sale and was sad so I bought some more Armadeaddon blind boxes. I didn't want to wait a month for them to ship to Canada like before so I decided to splurge on the more expensive 3-5 business day shipping.
Today was day 8 and I was thinking they wouldn't arrive before my trip this week... but they did arrive today and with a bonus.
I went from being very mad that they were late to very happy, thank you Penny Arcade for this.
Happy Armadeadvent day 21! Only 3 more days to go (and not to worry, my blind boxes came in, so I'll have to string everybody along with those too :P). Today's box was labeled "Apple" and I got...
Blood Rage FF and .. (what I suspect will be my last) Polaroid
On Armadeadvent day 22 I opened the box labeled "Giraffe" and I got...
Splatter Frank and Splatter Tycho
My pins arrived a few days ago, but I was in Tasmania taking care of some family business. Had quite a few boxes arrive, including from my secret santa, some board games I'd ordered, and my Armadeaddon case. And with it I got
2x Splatter Charles
1x Splatter Frank
2x Splatter Galahad
1x Sad Zombie Tycho
5x Splatter Gabe
1x Splatter Tycho
4x Blood Rage
4x Splatter Annarchy
1x Zombie Juice
1x Skeleton Jim
2x Polaroid
Sadly, I didn't get a Cinabon Gabe and I really want one. I'm willing to trade - please message me.

Happy Armadeadvent day 23, the penultimate day in a psychological torture experiment on patience. Today I opened a box labeled "One" and I got...
Splatter Gabe and Splatter Charles
I was a good boy and opened the last box on schedule
On the final day of the Armadeadvent I opened the box labeled "$3" (a number well under what I spent getting all these pins :P ) and I got...
Splatter Frank and Skeleton Jim
I believe that you can expect a spreadsheet with the unscrambled pin haul posted up at some point from my sister - I think she's been deobfuscating as I post
I love these pins so much, but there are only 3-4 I really want. Having a tough time pulling the trigger on blind boxes lately and I don't have enough pins to trade. Guess I'm up the creek with no paddle again

Well, which 4 pins are they?
They would be the 4 on his want list on his lanyard. Gabe, Tycho, FF and Anarchy.

Lol, I guess so. If those were the only ones I needed, I definitely wouldn't buy any blind boxes. Those are going to be pretty easy to get.

Not exactly up a creek, you could trade for them. There are tons of them listed as available on Pinnypals and i'm sure that indicates they will be available at your next years PAXen as well. That is not likely to change anytime soon so still time to acquire some pins to trade for them.

Are you sure the merch pin isn't before shipping and taxes? I totaled up what you bought and the subtotal was only 82.44. I always assumed it was a subtotal of $100.
Edit: Yea, just checked and it's based on subtotal.
Edit Edit: My mistake, you should have gotten one, forgot the shipping receipt lists it as item price.
Second box arrived today from November purchase, yay for Australia!
Shipping time is more than made up for by completing my Armadeaddon set, with no less than TWO polaroids, to complete the only one I was missing from my first box set.

No, the order subtotal was under $100, which is exactly why he didn't receive a Merch 3 pin. The mug, 2 Armas, Xmas, and Enfu = $100.70. You used a CPA discount which brought the total down to $95.66. That's under $100. The reward tiers (including Merch 3) go off subtotal, meaning the $14.60 shipping doesn't count.
My second case arrived and contained the following:
Splatter Gabe x 2
Splatter Tycho x 5
Blood Rage FF x 1
Splatter Anarchy x 3
Splatter Charles x 4
Splatter Frank x 2
Splatter Galahad x 2
Sad Zombie Tycho x 2
Zombie Juice x 1
Skeleton Jim x 1
Cinnamon Roll Gabe x 1
Super happy with the Cinnamon Roll Gabe as that completes the Armageddon collection
Hey everyone! I've made a short anonymous survey to see how the general community feels about certain topics of Armadeaddon and Blind Box sets as a whole. If you're on Slack or WhatsApp you may have seen me post this link already.
I'll be posting the results with some analysis once the survey closes in a few days. I've already received about 25 responses from the chat channels and the stats are pretty interesting. Thanks ahead of time if you fill it out

I feel that survey is missing a kind of big question. "How much do you like blind purchasing?". And the followup, "If not, what might make you like it?"
