Opened 12 packs, full set of red-purples, 2 blacks, 2 silvers

So, from the early stats, it seems a good shot that 1:3 packs will have either a silver or black. My initial order of 8 packs from Firebox hit this, with 3 blacks, no silver.

Just my luck - 2 boxes of blended 1-4, no silvers at all. Got all the purples but not all of the blacks - still missing three, and I needed both boxes to get this close.

the distribution on these is wacky.. I'm almost all the way through a box of 1-4, more than enough blacks (the one in three stands) but not a single silver... and I don't expect one in the four packs that are left.. (I'm sooo tempted to open more.. but the majority are already sold and are waiting for the post office to open tomorrow..)

32 packs of pure wave four, eight from a shop and 24 from an online retailer.

11 blacks, not one solitary silver. Oodles of red through purple, although one or two cards are quite rare - Bling Bunny, for example.

Glad to see I am not the only one with this issue. My biggest problem with the Wave 1-4 boxes is that a number of boosters had no Wave 4 cards. You would think they this being the new set you would at least want 1 wave 4 card per booster.

[Joe]

now I'm seriously wondering what is going on... I just opened a pack and the last card in the pack was upside down... (orange)

then I opened a pack with TWO blacks in it.. (whipsmart birthday and we be rational pirates)

I'm opening from a factory sealed box from a factory sealed case..

still no silvers..

Well all this means only one thing to me.

The distributions are random. Instead of having a ratio of say 1:3 packs either silver or black, maybe they just have a number of cards. For example they may have 10000 of a silver and 100000 of a red, with 300000 packs to fill. Change the numbers to suit better, but the idea is the same. What strikes me is that other trading card games have a more predictable distribution, leaving me to only conclude that either they have some gnome who works at the printers and works out which cards to put in which packs or they are as random as can be?
