set 28 cases and boxes

So i hope im not the only one who was kind of disappointed with the predictability of the supers this set. If someone bought a case, they got 2 of each.. no exception. If you were buying packs at a store and your friend hit a shattered heaven, you had very good odds of getting a tbb with the remaining packs.

Although this minimizes bad boxs this takes away the fun that goes along with opening boxs and packs. For me 3/4ths of the enjoyment when a new set comes out is the chance that I score all this best supers and get the best boxes. Does it work out? nope but I enjoy that. I like not knowing what is in my box even after opening 1 or 2 supers.

please tell me opening up a box wouldnt be 10 times more exciting if someone reported getting a box with mifune, tbb, naruto and a super that you wanted for a specific deck type? or a case that had 6 tbb and 6 mifune. will you hit it? probs not but its fun for everybody to think that it could happen.

maybe its just me.

anybody agree or disagree?

I think even distribution at the case level is nothing to complain about.
If you like the random element buy individual packs from multiple stores.

buying packs is expensive as crap, compared to the sixty bucks per box im currently spending. I know that if you buy a case you expect to get every card. but 2 of each is just really boring especially when you have only 3 different kinds of boxes out of 6 total. Why be excited to open the rest when you know whats comming?

It's not just the SRs. I think all the cards are more evenly distributed than ever. Out of my 3 boxes i got 1 of each SR and at least a playset of everything but Sasuke which I got 2 of.

I once bought a case of set 5 and got 5 Toad flame bombs and there was nothing exciting about it, so yeah this new way is great. I buy boxes and cases to get the cards I want, not to get excitement.

People who have the ability to buy cases are likely very thankful for this format. Makes buying a case truly worth it because there's no doubt. You'll always make back the money you put in since you'll have 2 TBBs, 2 Narutos, 2 Mifunes...hell those alone are near $300 in value.

Frankly, I can't beleive this thread exists.

What you're saying is "getting boxes of crap is fine so long as I get to dream I'll pull a box with 3 TBB".

fair enough haha but if you really buy boxes for the cards you want why not just buy singles? that way you dont end up paying for the cards you dont want..

if getting a great box is just as likely as getting a bad one, then yes. Disappointment is part of life and allows for appreciation of the good events. lol

statistically speaking if the likelihood of getting a good box is equal to getting a bad one then as each set comes along you will eventually hit that "dream box". Or multiple. Its random chance. I enjoy the ambiguity.. any cards i need but dont have I buy singles lol buying singles is where i want to be sure of what I'm buying..
