A whole set can't hold all 7

A whole set has 6 boxes and no repeats. But the series has 7 figures, so if DuoDuo shows up, one regular is left out.

So if you want all 7, you need the set plus a lucky pull, or the set plus a bought DuoDuo. One Scrappy Mom's guide says it in one line: "A six-box set cannot contain all seven."

Missing one figure? Buy it

When you need just one more, each random box has a 1 in 6 chance of it. On average that's about 6 boxes, or $164.

On StockX, single Have a Seat regulars average about $38 to $45. So buying the last one costs about a quarter as much as hunting it.

The same guide adds, "Opening a duplicate does not mean you have to buy another box."

Pull DuoDuo or buy DuoDuo?

An even chance at DuoDuo costs $1,349.50 in boxes, and 1 in 10 fans need 165 boxes or more. DuoDuo averages about $146 on StockX, so buying it costs about a ninth of an even chance.

Many fans still want the thrill of pulling it. Collector Caitlin Sackett told People her first secret was "like winning the lottery!" Just know the odds before you chase it.
