I found the Twilight Rebellion distribution to be excellent:

2 boxes opened for sale, and:

3-4 of each rare; 10-12 of each vamp; 23-27 of each common.

That's good distribution I would say.

I found the distribution to be flat, which is better than excellent.
I opened 21 boosters to get the first complete set.

There were never less than a complete set in every box I opened (5).
There were never 3 of any rare in any of the boxes.

I don't think you could ask for better.

Thank you Scott.

Eh? How can there be 3-4 of each of 20 rares in a box containing
only 36 boosters? New math?

2 boxes = 36 * 2 = 72 rares

3*20 = 60
1*12=12
60+12=72

Well, you're welcome, but I don't have anything to do with the collation process.

Ah, that was the totals for two boxes, not per box as I leaped
to assume for whatever reason. It all makes sense, now.

Just for further distribution analysis:

I just opened up half a box (18 boosters). I got:

-18 distinct rares (i.e. no duplicates)

-About 2-3 of each vampire (I got 1 of a couple and 4 of a few, but
mostly 2 or 3)

-About 6 of each common (I got 5 of a few, 7 of a few, and 8 of one of
them)

So almost a full set out of 18 boosters, mostly enough of each common
and each vampire (although I sadly only got 2 Anarch Converts, the guy I
want, like, 10 of). Very good distribution.

It's understandable that you'd want so many copies - the guy in the
picture is incredibly attractive, smart, and humble. ;)

Opened a box of TR this morning. After opening 6 boosters I had a full
set of commons (20/42). One more booster and I had a full set of
vampires (20/21). And finally when i had opened 20 boosters I had also
a full set of rares (20/20). When I counted all the cards after I
noticed that I had 11-14 of each common, 5-6 of each vampire, and 1-2
of each rare. This distribution is almost too perfect to believe.

Yep, it looks pretty good. Out of 18 packs I got 16 different rares,
at least 2 of every vamp (3 of the amazing Anarch Converts!!!!), and a
pretty even distribution of commons (I mean, I would have liked more
Hell For Leathers than Power of Alls, but whaddaya gonna do?). This
seems to be one of the best distributions I have experienced (in my
case, since Black Hand). This makes me a happy gamer!

Cheers,

John
