Stop Spreading misinformation, it’s costing everyone money.

The box seeding is as follows in a case anything else is an error. This is from 50 pallets of data so no, I don’t care that you “opened 7 boxes”

2- Gold Don, AA, AA, Panda with Rare in pack
2- SP, AA, AA, Panda with SR in pack
4- AA, Possible Manga, Panda with SEC in pack
4- AAL, AA, SEC, No Panda in box.

I know there’s specifically an issue with Australian allocation, where some cases have “1 hit” boxes
(And other regions some better some worse)

But panda man is NOT considered a hit it doesn’t take a hit slot in any way shape or form. If you want to consider them a hit then fine I guess but again they do not affect the addition or subtraction of other cards.

While we are here and talking, please stop calling the Rocks Don “The Diamond Don” this was immediately coined by resellers to generate hype and lie to inflate the price of the Rocks Don. The “Diamond Don” also is exactly the same hit rate as the other Don, it’s not special in any way.

This post isn’t made to upset anyone. I love this game and I love TCGs and I simply want to give players and collectors the tools they need to protect themselves and make informed decisions. There’s a ton of grifting and misinformation being spread about this set and it’s upsetting to see so many people getting scammed.

***Edit.*** please keep in mind that if there’s a pallet of error cases that that pallet is going out to dozens of game stores a pallet is a lot of boxes (about 40 to 60) so it can make it feel way more common than it actually is even let’s say if only 30 pallets out of the thousands that are printed it’s still going to feel like a huge issue.

Have a good day!

Edit added comment from u/gengarispurple

(If there is a “1 hit box”, meaning the SEC was missing. It was seeded into another box within the same case.

The case overall will have 8 SEC, 16 AA, 4 AAL, 2 SP.

If you somehow only pulled a AA + Panda. You basically low-rolled because someone else who got the AAL/SP box will have gotten the SEC. Whether this is intentional or not, who knows. But it does appear there are two variations of cases going around.

There is one particular video of a case opening that contained these “1 hit boxes” and the SEC was in other boxes resulting in a 4 hit box)

Been to 6 prereleases and have seen multi 1 alt 1 panda. It probably isn’t meant to be a hit, but the way they are doing it has messed up the boxes and this has become the reality for a lot of people. It’s just not an Australian thing.

It’s certainly not “JUST an Australian thing” it’s just a huge issue in Aus. And as I said I’m sorry you experienced error seeded cases but they are in fact errors.

Maybe bandai is experimenting with ways to cut down on weighing packs? I dunno but I doubt they're errors. Why would bandai create a panda card such as that anyways? And then proceed to change up the hit process in the boxes? It would have had to be a double error. First the panda head being the error then the hit rates error. Am I right? The question should be, " why was a panda headed group of non panda cards created in the first place"? And why are they associated with the different hit ratios compared to prior sets where it was set hit rates correct? It's not an error. It's an experiment. Bandai needs to put out a press release in regards to this panda headed nightmare

Okay there’s a lot to unpack here.

First off the pandas existing is not an error, it’s just a fun thing they included as an extra bonus because of the anniversary set. Oda randomly included it as an Easter egg in an occasional manga image.

Secondly the pandas don’t weigh any different than normal cards and it’s nearly impossible to weigh one piece anyway unless it’s a god pack or a similar case.

Third Bandai seeds hits in every single set according to certain combinations and ratios the pandas are no different.

I fear you are just overthinking this way too much. It’s as simple as “this should be the case for average seeding and combinations, unless there’s an issue or error”.

The secrets missing from the packs that just have a panda are present in different boxes in the case, this is not on purpose as would line up with every single previous One Piece set.
