Weirdness with D&D Minis!

Then calculate this.
I've bought a total of 3 boxes of War of the Dragon Queen.

For each one my huge was that danged spider!

 

[Thunderfoot]

The spider is a common, so really its not that large.

 

[BlueBlackRed]

He's uncommon.

WotDQ has 12 huge figures, 6 rare huges and 6 uncommon huges. The ratio of uncommon to rare huges is 2:1, so there is a 1/18 chance of getting each rare huge in a pack and a 1/9 chance of getting an uncommon huge. So the odds of specifically getting three large spiders in three boxes is 1:729, and the odds of getting three of the same of any of the uncommon huges is 1:81.

I bid on twelve minis on eBay and, lo and behold, every one was excatly what I wanted. What are the odds?

Bought five cases and didn't get a Black Dragon or a Dracolich. Got one the other day buying a single box. So has an extra Dracolich and Fire Belcher?

Apparently not 1:1 when dealing with online auctions.

 

[Scribble]

Crap, you're right! I was thinking 2 of a specified small rare, rather than a repeat. So 3888:1 - a lot smaller, but still pretty hefty!

His odds are 50% He either gets it, or he don't.

A bunch of friends and I got together and opened 15 factory sealed cases of boosters when that set came out. Between all of us, we pulled exactly zero Wizened Elder Watchers.

So, whatever the odds are, weird things do happen.
