OK

Your numbers confirm the 3 rares (Silvers per box) 15 uncommons per box, or on average 1 uncommon or rare per two packs.

That is an extraordinarily gouging distribution - which while not quite as extraordinary as the Wave 4 pure one (where 1 silver from two boxes was my score) - is still just wrong.

I guess they haven't really learned any lessons from that.

I will try and cancel my Firebox pre-order at this point on the grounds of it being good money thrown after bad. I don't expect I'll be successful though.

Well, I went ahead and opened and my distribution for 2 boxes was a bit better, but about the same:

Box 1

Red - 44
Orange - 45
Yellow - 37
Green - 24
Blue - 24
Purple - 24
Black - 14
Silver - 4

Box 2

Red - 43
Orange - 44
Yellow - 39
Green - 24
Blue - 24
Purple - 24
Black - 14
Silver - 4

Something else I noticed (which you can see in my distro spreadsheet)

A lot of times, the black cards and/or silver cards were in side by side packs.

The order on my list was each pack in the box, top to bottom; left to right. So you see how the pattern was coming out. I actually found myself saying "Well, this should be another black card pack" and was mostly right.

Very interesting.

So I should be expecting 4 silvers with one ripped down the middle?

If it's any help, I ordered 20 packs and got 7 black / 3 silver, which would work out at 12.6 black and 5.4 silver per 36 packs (a box). The site won't accept solves yet though Sad
