Does this happen often?

So a week or so ago I bought 3 packs of B+B

Yesterday I went to a different store 20 mins from the other one, bought 2more packs of B+B

I opened one of the packs I got yesterday... IT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME 5 FIGURES! From a pack I had bought last week! At a different store! What are the odds of that? Does this happen often??

The 5 I got twice were...
Brainiac
Daimen Wayne
Phillipus
League Assasin

You think that's weird? I bought a pack of Legacy, and then a week later a pack of Supernova. They were the exact same pack...full of Indy figures! But I ended up with two Vet Shi's, so I'm not complaining.

That happened to me with Crisis. Three packs I got were exactly the same. I didn't mind though. They all had KC Supes.

You should really be glad. There was a time when people were getting identical bricks in the same case. Talk about suck....

Not only is it possible, it is highly likely.

It happened between players at my venue at every single Galactus and Starro event, and I even bought 2 cases of JL that were identical down to every detail of booster placement and figures inside those boosters. It also happened quite a bit to other players at my venue with Secret Invasion and Arkham Asylum.

Yeah, i bought a pack of powerbomb and then later that month i bought another and they were same; both packs contained dashed dreams, crushed hope and wishful thinking

goldpony's opinion is obviously something that we should take seriously-hail_eris

IF they had perfect collation and assortment, there could be 600,766,320 possible combinations assuming you are using all 59 figures from the set. Clearly perfect collation doesn't exist.

that's nothing. i opened three cases of BatB on release day. all three were exactly the same. no joke. the same figures, same placement and the same super rares. i was not very happy, as none were chase or seven sr cases.

Happens to me like 3 times a set.

I pull 2 identical cases doing JL. The only different was the screwups, ie wrong figures and missing figures or bases, in the cases. But with only a limit amount of choices on how they pack a booster and a smaller number of figure the BATB will likely have a greater number of duplicate boosters.

Your maths is flawed, as it doesn't take rarity levels into account.
