Booster Randomless?

[gazero]

I am beginning to question the randomness of these booster packs. So far I have purchased 11 booster packs of Transformers Attacktix, and I have received the following:

Regular (Chrome)
Battle Ravage 4 (2)
Omnicon 2
Decepticlone 2
Super Optimus Prime 4
Super Optimus Prime (vech) 1
Megatron 2
Scourge 2

Now this may seem like a extreme bit of bad luck, but then we break it down by the location purchased. Three packs at four different locations (except for one that someone else beat me to).

Location 1:
Battle Ravage 1 (1)
Decepticlone 1
Super Optimus Prime 1
Megatron 1

Location 2:
Battle Ravage 1
Omnicon 1
Super Optimus Prime 1
Scourge 1

Location 3:
Battle Ravage 1 (1)
Decepticlone 1
Super Optimus Prime 1
Megatron 1

Location 4:
Battle Ravage 2
Omnicon 1
Super Optimus Prime 1
Super Optimus Prime (vech) 1
Scourge 1

Notice that the figures pulled from locations 1 and 3 are exactly the same (down to the same chrome Battle Ravage), and that locations 2 and 4 are very simular and could be exact depending on the contents of the missing booster. Now, I may be close to discovering some dark secrect of case distributions, or maybe I'm just a little upset that I received seven unique figures in 11 packs. Hopefully, I will get better results with boosters in the future (and no more Super Optimus Primes). Has anyone else had simular results in thier boosters?

Strange.

My boosters were fine. Only double was the "rare" Rodimus which I got two of.

Really bad luck.

Look at the bright side, there are a LOT of people that would trade you the remaining guys for the extras you have (me included!)

This has been a common problem sense the beginning.

There have been almost endless reports of people getting 2 super rares and 1 rare, 2 commons, so on and so forth.

And many reports of poeple getting multiples of different figures.

Example, with SW series 1, I almost always pulled a battle droid and hardly ever pulled a clone trooper.. My friend would almost always pull a clone trooper and hardly ever pull a battle droid.

The best remedy is to spread your purchases around. "Dont spend it all at once" so to speak

LOL that may not be the case, unfortunately. I got 8 at one store for YB, then 1 at another, and 4 of the 9 had Royal Guards, and of those 2 had Royal Guards and Naked Leias packed together.

See, I bought 9 boosters and didnt get a single royal guard. Pretty typical.

No Royal Guard? Good thing you know a Greyelephant.


My problem is really only with the Transformers.

1 They have Starscream and Scourge listed as Rare (acordding to the booklet). Well if they were rare then why do I always have them packed with another rare.

2. Man if I get one more Excellion I will explode into tiny pieces! I had at one time 6 of them little buggers! Count your blessings that you got Super Optimus Prime.

3. Insecticons and Battle Ravage are very hard for me to find. I also have yet after about 18 Transformer boosters to pull a Landmine.

It's nice to see that I'm not alone in this. My luck unfortunately isn't limited to transformers as I now have 3 series 4 Darth Vaders out of the 5 boosters that I bought (and two of them are chrome!).

[YodaBreaker]

Two...chrome...Vaders...*controlling salivation*. Oh, would that I had TFs to trade ya for these

Oh, and Slave Leias are always fun to look at; I'm glad to see multiples of 'em, superflytnt Royal Guards have turned out to be my Royal pain in the arse, just as Excellion in the TF line seems to be your bane, greyelephant.

In my 3 latest boosters I pulled:

Battle Ravage x2(1 chrome based)
Landmine x1
Omnicon x1
Megatron x1
Hot Shot x1

[superflytnt]

I got some boosters for my birthday:

1 - Rodimus and Megatron Vehicle
2 - Rodimus and Megatron Bot (Chrome)
3 - Insecticon and Minicon
4 - Insecticon and Omnicon
5 - Super OP and Super OP Vehicle (imagine the luck there...)
6 - Battle Ravage and Scourge

Methinks that the RARE/SUPER RARE is all hype...I get a lot of 2x Super Rare in boxes..
