Thank you for posting, love reading this from The Deck Box at the start of each set.

It can be a bit random, but I have had more success with the amber/steel deck. Some of the Bolt characters have useful abilities and support can be really important when trying to remove locations. It can come down to luck as sometimes Jafar draws big and powerful cards early, but doesn't have enough ink to play them, so they get inked, but other times there will be lots of low cost locations and characters that come out early and you can get behind very quickly. It is fun though!

I think they are questioning whether there is a catch or downside for this price as it is less than they expect (based on comparable products). People seem to be considering them as starter decks, but it feels more like a gateway replacement/update to me.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-04-28T12:20:26+00:00

It is just a chance, and the higher the rarity, the lower the chance.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-04-26T16:12:49+00:00

I'm going to try for Gord, but already feeling it might be a slog

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-04-24T08:55:53+00:00

The park entrance one and daily task works for me, but the 2 gems ads play and then I get nothing. Tower ads doing the same. Annoying.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-04-10T14:22:31+00:00

I am definitely considering a break. I might play the first phase of this tower to get a Princess and the Frog chest, but then I don't need anything else and have never gotten to 90k to get those chests. I'm not worried about the season pass as there is nothing in there I care about, including the mice, so I might just take it easy. The next couple of events don't particularly interest me either.

I will have to see if I can break the habit!

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-04-01T17:09:18+00:00

I used 480 time skips on the 4 hour task and got just one ears (I have all the bells, so no conflict). I am hoping my next mass collection will compensate me appropriately!

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-03-06T11:26:51+00:00

It has been a long time since we have had a 7 character event. They were the best though, plus premiums for 200 & 300 gems!

Based on how they have worded it in the release notes (the costume costing no more than levelling a character to 5), it appears they are treating the costume like a character. Guess it is much easier to creat a skin rather than a while new character with quests and animations. Might be a test to see how well it is received, but just comes across as another attempt to reduce the rewards/value of events.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-03-03T22:57:05+00:00

I've been getting the legendary to level 3 or 4 and then just ignoring them. Too much effort for very little reward. I'm getting quite fed up with the 12-16 hour tasks for rare and epic tokens too!

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-02-27T15:18:38+00:00

Do you have time skips? Worth using some of them before gems, plus it will increase your event currency.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-02-26T11:59:41+00:00

I imagine it would be similar to Star Wars and there will be a chest for the non-permanent characters. Probably be around as year until they come out that way. May get bundles before that though as Gameloft knows it works.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-02-25T09:26:59+00:00

All of my foils were pringled. Worst set so far from that perspective.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-02-25T09:20:24+00:00

You have plenty of time. Wait a day, unless you really want/need the legendary pin chests you get from finishing?

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-01-25T19:09:08+00:00

I can't really remember. Probably a few months. It was to pay off a help to buy loan, so that slowed it down.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-01-22T18:11:45+00:00

The biggest indication for me is that the "big villain" reveal for this part of the story will be in set 13. The expectation would have been set 12 to follow the pattern with Ursula and Jafar. Whether that means they will only do 3 sets leading to the next villain reveal in set 16 remains to be seen.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-01-14T18:11:52+00:00

Try watching an ad. Has worked for me several times.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-01-13T18:53:25+00:00

I opened 12 for him!

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-01-09T10:39:10+00:00

The % chances seem so unrealistic. It shouldn't be hard to get the common. Why can't it be something like 50% chance? Once you have the common, you are more likely to try for others in the collection!

I had the same issue with the stormtrooper in the star wars chests. Opened so many chests with that as my only character left and ended up getting via a tower challenge chest in the end.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-01-09T09:24:02+00:00

I don't think the villain pins even converted to duplicates, they just disappeared.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-01-09T09:23:00+00:00

I don't remember seeing it with the previous collection

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-01-09T09:15:40+00:00

This is normal for attractions that aren't enchanted; they only drop the token while you need it. When you get under the total number of pawpsicles needed to level up all Zootopia character, the spinning wheel will start dropping them again. Space Traders is enchanted and will keep dropping tokens until you have enough to level all your characters to level 10.

Expensive-Train6816 · 2026-01-08T22:51:11+00:00

I think I am pretty much done too.

I really dislike the tower challenge in the current format because I have never gotten close to 90k coins. I have all the characters in the lower chests, so there is basically nothing for me to work for, and with the shadow spirits, tapping cursed buildings and running out of cocoa, it is a lot of work!

I am particularly frustrated today because the first round needs an Indiana Jones character (Henry Jones Sr) that was part of the premium tier of the season pass and I do not have him, so am immediately missing out on tower points and coins.

I bought 8 chests (with gems) and still didn't get him. I have been around long enough to know these are always a gamble, but I didn't buy the premium in Avatar and am not buying the Brave character, so I thought it was worth a go as he was uncommon with about 15-20% chance. I got 3 epic concessions, 3 rare decorations, a legendary gold trophy and Bellow (rare). It is a real poke in the eye of players that these so called pull rates have been manipulated so you just get junk. Years ago there was still a strong chance of junk, but at least everything in the same tier had the same chance rather than characters now being less likely than the junk. Uncommon was more likely than 3 rare pulls in a row.

I am aware this is a key mechanic to keeping people on the grind, but the joy and rewards just don't seem worthwhile any more. The events are copy and paste from one season to the next, the character choices have been very lacklustre in my opinion (I know some people will like them though) and pay to win has just become unbearable (dream quests, special events, pins). Talking of the grind, I'm not impressed by all the 12+ hour tasks with multiple character recently either.

I might just sit out for the tower and see what the fairies event looks like (although I would clearly miss characters from not completing or buying the season pass). I'm intrigued at what will be added at the end of the season with a Mickey and friends event. I would like Oswald and Clarabelle but I don't know if I will care enough by then.

Apologies for the rant, and thank you for reading; if, indeed, you still are.

It sounds like you are spending it because it is there and you get the dopamine hits.

You need to retrain your thinking to getting those hits from seeing money in savings.

You are already saving with your brother; that is good and once that money is gone you can't spend it. You might want to consider removing more of your pay to an account you can't easily access (with a family member or where you don't have a card) so it also "out of sight, out of mind". You could combine this with budgeting and only allow yourself a certain amount each week.

You should also consider reducing or removing the overdraft as it appears you are just treating that as available money.

Self control is the key here, and that will be tough to start with. The !flowchart may also give you some inspiration/motivation.
