How many boxes until my last figure?
Missing one figure from a 6-figure series? Each box has about a 1 in 6 shot at it, so the average fan opens 6 more boxes, or $161.94 at $26.99 each.
To find your last figure, the average collector opens 6 more boxes.
Buying it for $40.00 costs about $121.94 less than the average hunt.
Why the last figure costs the most
Early on, almost every box brings something new. But once 5 of the 6 figures sit on your shelf, 5 boxes in 6 hand you a repeat.
In a 6-figure series, the average fan needs 15 random boxes to see all 6. About 6 of those 15 go to the last figure alone, so it's the priciest one in the set.
And finishing is the goal for most fans. Sonny Angel collector Gisselle Peñuela Solis told Xpress Magazine her favorite part is "seeing everybody's huge collections and just wanting to get mine there."
Hunt the first few, buy the last one
On StockX, single Have a Seat regulars average about $38 to $45. Hunting one with $26.99 boxes costs $161.94 on average, so buying it saves you more than $100.
Your repeats can pay for part of it, too. Trade them with friends or sell them, and every swap is one less box to open.
Our take: random boxes are fun while most figures are new. For the last one, the math says buy it.
Questions collectors ask
Does the secret slow down my hunt?
A little. At 1 in 72, the secret takes the place of about 1 box in 72, so your hunt runs about 1.4% longer.
Why is the 90% number so much higher than the average?
Some runs go long. Half of fans find their last figure in 4 boxes, but 1 in 10 still need 13 or more.
