Thanks to the cards with the Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom game, collectors are trying to get all 60 (with 61-70 being ultra rare) for themselves, family, friends...
There is the standard set (cards currently being released) & beta set (cards released during the first couple weeks). While I have several beta cards, I have no where near the number required to attempt to collect a full beta set. So after DH and I both collected a standard set, we devised a new plan:
QUEST: to collect all 60 cards WITHOUT trading, and to keep them in their original, UNOPENED, packs
PARTICIPANTS: DH and myself
TIMELINE: April 23 - June 4, 43 days
COLLECTION DETAILS:
- Outside of about 5 packs collected from the Firehouse, the rest were collected from behind the Christmas Shop.
- DH and I each visited the park 2-3 times a week, collecting 1-3 packs per visit
- At first we collected a pack at the start of the day and the second after defeating Hades
- About halfway into the experiment, we changed our collection behavior and waited until we beat Hades so we could collect both of our packs (1 for the day, 1 for beating Hades) at the same time
- When collecting 2 packs at the same time, Star cards tended to go in numerical order (i.e., 4-5; 10-11; 22-1)
OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST:
- We typically played at Rope Drop
- Our games (full 9 villains) average 2.5-3 hours at this time of day
- As the day went on, waits got substantially longer
- Playing at the start of the day allowed us to play an extra scene on our 1st and sometimes 2nd villain:
Scar - Hyena
Yzma - Guard
Jafar - Iago
Facilier - Lawrence
Ursula - Shark
Maleficient - Goon
We never played the dual Horace/Jasper car scene (Cruella)
I do not believe Ratcliff has an extra scene
FINAL STATISTICS:
67 packs (335 cards) were collected
20% of cards were Stars (1 per pack)
31% of cards were Moons (1-2 per pack)
49% of cards were Planets (2 per pack)
Final Planet: Dash (44), collected in pack 54
Final Star: Nibs (14), collected in pack 64
Final Moon: Prince Philip (33), collected in pack 67
In the end, we only received 1 of the following cards:
STARS: Flynn, Nibs, Robin Hood, Fairy Godmother, Giant, Tink
MOONS: Prince Philip, Snow White
DUPLICATES:
32 packs (48%) contained all duplicate cards at the time of collection
Most Stars: Doris (4) & Eve (5) - both with 6
Most Moons: Aladdin (23) - with 10
Most Planets: Lumiere (48) - with 14
FINAL COLLECTION:
- After we received all 60 cards, we had to figure out which 22 packs to keep as our final collection. The object was to create the fewest number of duplicate cards.
- First we identified the cards in the 8 packs we had to use (because they contained an unique card identified above).
- Then we identified 4 packs that offered the greatest number of unique cards.
- Next we eliminated packs with star cards we already had identified.
- Finally, we limited the number of Moon and Planet duplicate cards to 3 to help eliminate more packs.
- In the end, 5 cards had to pass the 3 limit in order to get all 22 Stars.
