I actually haven't seen any packs yet (friggen shipping delay)...

Are the cards distributed this time like you would normally expect or do you get exact replicate packs this time around too?

I'm thinking about ordering some more today, but I don't want to if I'm just going to be tossing packs of cards again like in Waves 1+2.

Funny, I was under the impression that you already ordered all your cards off of ebay - in which case you'd be guaranteed to "be tossing packs of cards." But maybe that was the other Ashinkui from the US who plays perplexci...

Sorry, I have no idea where that came from. It's totally none of my business.

Who says I'm looking to get just one set? Wink

Out of 16 packs, I got 23 wave 3 cards (should have been 32), half of which were duplicates, and 6 packs had *no* wave 3 cards! Sad
(not one silver, either)
Code:

 1. 1- 2   2- 0   3- 4
 2. 1- 4   2- 2   3- 0
 3. 1- 1   2- 3   3- 2
 4. 1- 2   2- 2   3- 2
 5. 1- 2   2- 2   3- 2
 6. 1- 2   2- 3   3- 1
 7. 1- 2   2- 4   3- 0
 8. 1- 2   2- 2   3- 2
 9. 1- 2   2- 1   3- 3
10. 1- 5   2- 1   3- 0
11. 1- 5   2- 1   3- 0
12. 1- 2   2- 3   3- 1
13. 1- 0   2- 2   3- 4
14. 1- 3   2- 3   3- 0
15. 1- 3   2- 3   3- 0
16. 1- 2   2- 2   3- 2

I can't wait to see the 'pure wave 3' packs! Confused

I received 4 packs the other day, and I got a pretty even mix: 10 wave 1s, 7 wave 2s, and 7 wave 3s, including one wave 3 silver Smile

I got 27% wave 3 in my wave 3 box.

All 4 foils in the pack were wave 1 or wave 2.

If I got one specific black and one specific purple, I would have a *complete* nonsilver wave 1 + wave 2 set from a wave 3 box...

Oh by the way I already had a complete set of waves 1 and 2 by this point.

I got 12 wave 3 packs, tbh I was VERY! disapointed by only getting 1 silver in the whole lot.

This is my breakdown

12 Red, 5 doubles, 7 different
12 Orange, 5 doubles, 7 different
12 Yellows, 1 double, 3 triples, 5 different
12 Greens, 2 doubles, 2 triples, 5 different
9 Blue, 2 doubles, 7 Different
11 Purples, 4 Doubles, 7 Different
3 Black, 3 Different
1 Silver, 1 Different

Blacks seem to be up but silver down from my previous PPC card experiences.

I got 2 silvers from my 12 wave 3 packs - IIRC shouldn't they average out to between 1 and 2 in 12 packs? Can't give you a breakdown at the mo, I got enough funny looks at work opening the packs at lunchtime, I think they'd try and get me put away if I started counting them all Laughing Wink

Yes, 1.5 exactly, as there is 1 Silver in 8 packs.

It would be reasonably likely to get none in 12 packs but you would hope for 1 at least.

LOL, I have coursework to do (3 pieces) and counting cards is MUCH more interesting. I would give you an exact breakdown of the cards I got if anyone is interested Razz

3 silvers!!! **waves fist**
Hmmm, now I wonder if my "parents" would like some perplexcity cards sent to our house, and maybe my "dad" would like some to the shop he owns. LOL

Is that the ratio for the wave 1-3 packs or the wave 3 only packs. You should be getting three times the silvers in wave 3 only packs, right?

No because the ratios are the same.
You do however get 3 times the number of wave three cards (i.e. 100%)
