Hey! No fair! Post that costume card in the "why it's good to buy loose packs" thread. I don't think there will be a separate "retail" distribution, though there might be bonus boxes or blister packs. But they didn't get the packs into stores until after the second TV show premiered. A box holds 24 packs of 4 cards and 3 stickers per pack, but there are four types of stickers with slightly different odds. I hereby declare that a "usual set" will often include the 50 cards plus 30 sticker cards, but they might commonly be sold separately. Base cards = 4 per pack, 1.92 sets (50) per box. Sticker cards = about 2 per pack, 1.60 sets (30) per box. Puzzle stickers = 2 per 3 packs, 0.80 sets per box (20). Glitter stickers = 1 in 6 packs, 4/10 per box. Felt stickers = 1 in 6 packs, 4/5 per box. Costumes = 1 in 63 packs (printed), 1 in 163 (actual, see below). BOX 1: Cards: 1 set, 2nd set short 4 cards, no extras Sticker Cards: 1 set + 18 extras Puzzle Stickers: 4 short of 1st set of 20, no extras Glitter Stickers: 4, 3 different + 1 dupe Felt Stickers: 4, all different Costumes: none BOX 2: Cards: 1 set, 2nd set short 8 cards, 4 extras Sticker Cards: 1 set + 20 extras Puzzle Stickers: 5 short of 1st set of 20, 1 dupe Glitter Stickers: 4, all different Felt Stickers: 4, all different Costumes: none The insertion rate for costumes is printed as 1:63 packs, with the odds for Troy and Chad cards as Dave noted above. But those two don't add up to 1:63 packs ... they add up to 1:163. Because the Topps ad only shows the two cards, I think the scarcer insertion rate is correct and there's a typo in the Topps material. | |||

High insertion rates and mistakes from Topps....no. ____________________ You're not afraid of the dark are you? | |||

I thought there may be other costume cards to get to the 1:63 number. They only mention the 2 though. None in 2 boxes is very disappointing. | |||

My daughters each got a box and one of them pulled the Troy costume. ____________________ "The problem, I'm told, is more than medical." | |||
