This was the first time I bought a full case on my own, I have purchased 1/4 of a case for DFA and LI. I did better than Goodtimes with mine I think and I am very happy with it even with the few things I wanted and didn't get.

8 uniques: "Cinders" firestarter, "Kolyu" Nyx, "Crusader" Cuirass, "Big Bertha" Rifleman, "Milagro" Jade Hawk, "Anima" Cave Lion(The one unique I really really wanted!), "Hellfire" Phoenix Hawk IIC, and "Persuader" Cygnus.

2 LEs: "Phoenix" Jade Hawk and "Twinkletoes" Thunder Fox.

I got matching Legendary Pilots and Gunslingers for all the uniques expect "Cinder," "Anima" :( and Big Bertha. I had one extra Legendary Pilot, AK :).

I got a decent assortment of nons, with Hatchetmen for mechs showing up the most( I don't know the exact # since They are not in front of me right now) and Uziel showing up the least as I only got 2 in the entire case(DF & SW). I went all the way to the second to last booster before I pulled a Skehmet tank and it was the only one in the case. At least it was the SC one.

For my main faction SC, I got one of every unit they received expect the Uziel, which I think is there best non so it figures that wouldn't be in my case. I did get about 8 pal suits for SC which is nice as well. I think DF and CJF showed up the most in my case as I seemed to be getting at least one in each boosterl. I ended up with 6 CJF Fenir and 4 DF Hatchetmen as well as several Mongouses and the DF Uziel.

All in all it was a great case I think. There are still a few things I want, namely a few more SC non Mechs(I only have 1 of each :rolleyes: ), Kev Rosse of course, "Alpha," "Bolt," and either one of the Battlemasters, but I really can't complain. Getting no doubles of any Unique really was surpising and getting as many matching pilots was a surpise as well. It would have been slighly nice to not get the second Jade Hawk but now I have all 3 which is cool. I hope others did as well as I did.

That sucks. The only time I bought a case was for FFE, and I didn't get Bo or Cynthia that I wanted, that was the last for me.

*sigh* Yeah Doc, I sure hate it when completely random booster pulls aren't taylored to my specific needs/wants. How dare they?

I bought two cases... pulled 2x Wooly (with pilot), 2x Chikako (and 2x Sohnle), 2x Persuader (2x Bannson), 1 Anima (and 3x Kev Rosse), and the list goes on.

I actually was able to match a pilot to all but one of my Uniques, so I'm pretty happy. and I believe I walked away with close to a complete base set.

Ok, there is a trend:
My case had 8 Uniques: Kolyu x 2, Crusader x 2, Bolt x 2, Cinders x 2. 2 LE, Wooly and the PHawk IIC. It's only saving grace has been the HK Crimson Hawk.

The cases of my friend had:
1st:
Kolyu x 2, Crusader x 2, Bolt x 2, Cinders x 2 in the first, just like mine.
2nd:
Caber x 2, Hellfire x 2, Persuader x 2, Chikako x 2.

What's wrong with Wizkids or their packaging department?
That is a far cry from random distribution and certainly not very motivating to go out and buy more boosters or cases. I only have to see which Unique gets pulled from a newly opened case and know whether or not (more lilely not) there is even the chance of getting anything worthwhile.

Here is something that needs to be addressed before Firepower is equaly bad. Or even worse. Imaging getting your case with 2 different Uniques, one of the 3 times and the other 5 times. Just great.

I bought a case and opened it wednesday, but I haven't really gotten to go through and figure out exactly what is there from a non point of view. My impressions:

I got a disproportionate amount of SC, BR and SW which I am ok with, since I collect the kitties and Liao primarilly. It was a fairly good distribution of mechs from each faction, except wolves of which I got around 4X hatchetmen. I got the following uniques/les: anima, FU, Wooly (actually not from the case, but from one of 3 additional boosters at the pre-release), Chikako, Persuader, bolt, cinders, alpha X2, hellfire, prowler. I got pilots for all except 1 alpha and persuader. I only got 2 duplicate GS(Turner) and L pilots(sandoval). I am only missing 2 L and 4 GS pilots from the set (I did inventory the cards).

This was the first case I bought and was very happy with it. Hopefully I will be able to trade extras for things I still need (look for a trade list sometime this weekend!). The only thing that I thought was wierd was that everything seemed to run in pockets. I would hit a Uziel pocket or a blade pocket where that would be all I pulled for about 5 boosters. Likewise, all the uniques / LEs were on the bottom of the booster. It did not seem to be as randomly packed as I expected. Did anyone else find this? Still my gut feeling is that I didn't get too many duplicate figures, which is nice (I will know for sure when I have a chance to sit down and play with my new toys (or at least inventory them)).

What pissed in your wheaties trevor? It's the same argument as the opening topic. Or are you just on some kind of superiority trip again?

Aw forget it, welcome to ignore.

It would seem to me that there are a large # of cases that have doubles of just 4 of the uniques. I wonder how often that is happening. My case didn't have a single double of a unique. I am also wonder does anyone know if the LE seem to come in a certain pair? I noticed that Goodtimes also got Twinkletoes and Phoenix as his LEs, the same two I got and aren't they both in the same Prize kits in one of the upcoming months?

A pal and I each bought a case, set 16 boosters aside unopened (for the Marquee etc), opened the other 80 and drafted through the results.

2x Mangonel Alpha
1x Rifleman Big Bertha
2x Jade Hawk Milagro
1x Cave Lion Anima
3x Battlemaster Caber
3x Xanthos Chikako
1x Cygnus Persuader

1x Battlemaster E.O.D.
1x Ursa Prowler
2x Phoenix Hawk IIC Fu

I noticed something quirky about each faction's infantry. For SS, we had five or six of each type, except only one of the Towed Gauss. For DF, we had five or six of all of them, except only one of the Undine BA. I think we wound up with at least four of all the rest. Just flukey to get only one of those two, I suppose -- maybe there will be more in those other boosters.

We were both very pleased with the results. Drafting was the way to go. If it's true that each case has uniques in doubles, then I'd say that was lucky for us!

For my feelings on my pulls, check out my thread "Super-Rare Case Distribution? (+ rant)." I'm going to get straight to the case (factory-sealed), everything I pulled. I'll put the interesting stuff up at the top, first. When there isn't a number that means I pulled one of a given unit. I've said it before but... I can't quite describe how disappointed I am pulling no Super Rares while everyone else around seems to pull two a case. :disappoin

A little trading went on with these last three card types, so the numbers really aren't accurate. I have a SW Faction Pride card now but it's the only one I don't remember actually pulling (and I find it sad that I didn't even manage to pull all the FP cards from a case).

Note- The reason for the odd rankings (the colons) is that it wouldn't let me post ("too many images"), so I just went down the line with the down arrow and delete to remove all the emoticons. :)

I haven't gotten my case yet (odd, since I ordered it last month and you've gotten yours already), but when I do, I'll be posting a breakdown of what I pulled before I trade/sell the xtra stuff off.

I forgot that with my case I was able to get a complete set of both Planetary Conditions and Faction Pride cards. Did anyone else have that happen? I think I am short one or two of the SA however. I haven't gone through my pilots and gear close enough to see if I got a complete set of either one.

I got a complete set of Faction Pride and SA cards, but I am short one PC (007 -- mountains).

Big Bertha x2
Caber
Chikako x2
E.O.D.
Hellfire
Persuader x2
Phoenix

At east one pilot card for the above mechs

The rest of my case was a pretty even distribution factionwise, gear, etc.

my bigest repeat was reactive armor x10

Tara Campbell was in the first booster and Caber was in the last, Cool!

I hate to say it but everything you said with the exception of the non unique pilots are the exactly the same. The only thing was that I pulled 11 "special" mechs. 2 Uniques 1 super rare Kurita mech & the rest were the same as what you pulled
