Okay, but the entire point of this post is that it's ALWAYS been this way. It's just that with marquee events we get 50 shards and wait a couple months; before marquee events we got 0 shards and waited even longer.
People have this notion that some day in the past there was a point where characters were released directly into stores and that they were never paid for. It's also completely and demonstrably false.
But it’s not false at all. New characters were released all over the place. Usually there were multiple characters released, and a lot of them were free while 1 had to be paid for. I forget what it was called, but it was a different pack type that doesn’t exist anymore. And yes, this was usually the best of the new characters to come out. And what I hated was that we had no idea when he would be available, and they didn’t become available in order. Rex was locked away forever. B2 went free in like a month or 2. It had its own problems. But yes, new characters went directly to the store all the time.
