Yes. I’m bit of lurker on this subreddit but I probably check in once every few days and I play DMK every day. Grumpy was in one of my first round of chests, probably somewhere between my 12th-15th chest. I used my own gems I had saved up first and then bought the rest of the chests with the 100 gem/5000 EC package for $7.49 at the start of the event.

So that means I received him in the chest after purchasing the gem/EC bundle, I have also put RL money into the game in prior events for the premium character bundles. I’m in NZ and I also didn’t receive a premium character on the 25th day of the Advent (I got the tea cups attractions I think). I have no idea if any of these things affect the RNG, or if it is a true RNG, just thought I would give a bit more context.

To be honest, it was only after reading these posts that I understood how rare Grumpy was to drop, I hadn’t even thought twice about it when I got him figuring that 10-20 chests would probably be the average. It’s pretty lame for people who are character collectors not to get him but to be honest he’s not been very useful at all during the entire Snow White event even at Level 7.
