TOPIC: No Ultra Rare in a 100 Pack?

No Ultra Rare in a 100 Pack? 12 years 2 months ago #1

According to the Store description...

"One out of 100 token bags contain 6 Common, 2 Uncommon, 1 Rare, and 1 Ultra Rare token!"


Does that mean if I order 100 tokens I get one Ultra Rare, or if I order 1,000 tokens I get an Ultra Rare?

...I got my order of 100 tokens today and there wasn't an Ultra Rare in it. :( So it must be the latter?

One out of 100 token bags. Each bag contains 10 tokens so that would be a Random Ultra Rare on average every 1000 tokens.

You also get to pick an Ultra Rare if you make a $250 order which would be 30 packs of tokens or 300 tokens. That would give you about a 1 in 3 chance of getting a random UR in that order.

So, did you get 100 tokens or 100 bags of tokens? There is a bit of a difference there. With 100 tokens or 10 bags you only had a 1 in 10 chance of getting a random UR. Even if you got 100 ten packs you still only have a chance of getting a random UR on top of whatever you picked.

Yeah, I "only" ordered 10 packs of 10. I wish I had read that description more closely, I was a little too eager I guess. :unsure:

Bummer.

Was there a particular UR that you were hoping for?

Dont quote me on this one, but I believe they keep tabs on how much you have ordered and once you cross certain thresholds they award you the package deal. Soooo for example: if you order 20 more packs of 10 - they will give you a PYP choice with your oder as you are now at the 250$ equivalent level.

But you may want to check with Jeff BEFORE placing another order. Just my 2 cents?

Good luck!

@Kithrin: No, not really one in particular.

Last time my kids and I sat down to open these (in 2010), each hoping to be the lucky one to pull the Ultra Rare. This year the tension built right up to the last stack, and then we were done. :huh: We went back through the stacks to see if we just missed it. That's when I re-read the listing and realized my mistake.

@Fizzikx: Interesting thought. Unfortunately, I have to save some of the vacation money for other GenCon events. :)

On the other hand, I am a sad panda today because I opened 240 packs and only got 1 UR. The odds say I should have gotten 2 or 3. So effectively I didn't 1 UR in 140 packs.

Ouch! Been where you are at.

My first 2.5K worth of orders (across 3 years) and I did not see even one random UR. Just the ones I picked. Then last year on a lowly $250 pack of tokens I got a Golden Ticket. Then the next set of tokens that same year a random UR. This year in my condensed I had 2 Random URs.

I have had wild luck swings: when my brothers and I first heard about TD we ordered 10 packs to split and pulled a random UR.

But I've had plenty of orders (larger than that) with no URs...

Of course in two years I've pulled two Golden Tickets, so I'll never ever complain about the luck in TD token packs!!!

My luck has been on the statistically cruddy side of UR pulls per 100, I think I've only gotten one in many years of play.

Hope springs eternal for a GT or UR, but these days, the only UR I count on is the PYP bonus... anything else I consider delicious gravy. :P

Last year I placed 3 separate PYP orders over several months and managed to get 2 random URs throughout. Hoping to get at least 2 in my upcoming shipment late this week early next but I'll echo the sentiment of the only URs you can actually count on is the PYP(s).
