Random Expansion packs... not so random as we thought?

Mister Nizz

There some interesting buzz going on at Wizard of the Coast's company sanctioned bulletin boards. Apparently, some of the die-hard clickie fans are starting to complain that the alleged random distribution of booster packs is not very random at all, and some of the customers are claiming that they are detecting a pattern in the composition of their boosters.

It might just be grousing, but I've always wondered how RARE these rareities really are. I don't do clickies, but I DO like Whizkids' PIRATES OF THE SPANISH MAIN (see one of my REPLAYS and a SHORT REVIEW on the old Xanga Blog). I'm getting a little bummed at how many of the same old ships show up time after time. The other day I was delighted to see PIRATES boosters on sale at Target. I bought three packs and discovered every single thing in that purchase was a duplicate!!!

In any event, you might want to CHECK OUT THIS THREAD on the Wizards.com site. They are mostly discussing STAR WARS collectible miniatures, but the discussion really is about collectible games in general.

Oh, and if you want big, big laffs, check out "The Star Wars Toys that Never Were"..
