    I just wish I had more spare HP because this must be one of the best vaults in MPQ history.

    Pulled the 3* Royal Talon Fighter on my free token. Shame I already have one and was instead given 7,200 red iso-8 on top of the 800,000+ I currently have. Would have loved a 2nd RTF.

    Combat dilution with your wallet.

    Not even going to bother pulling the free one.  I know I'll pull whatever the worst **** in the vault is and it's too pricey to spend hp on.  It can join the many stockpiled vault tokens I have.  Maybe if they add shards to vault pulls I'll start using them since at least then I know I'll get something out of it.

    Bought a 10 pack and got her support, Juggs, 200 Okoye shards, 3* Cyclops, three mighty tokens and two elites and then the free token got me a beginner support. Solid.

    Worth it for the talon fighter.  But probably not the shards (unless you are at 12 covers, or need less than 100 shards for another useful cover).

    With 40K HP and a 4/5/2 Okoye this was the best news of the day and maybe of the year (unless we get a similar Kitty offer).

    Bought 3 10 packs + free token and got 500 Okoye shards, all the 4* covers and all the L1 support tokens (which I will open when the supports rotate to better options). I already have a L3 RTF so happy I didn't get a duplicate. The only thing left in the final 10 items I want is another 100 shards which for 2800 HP is the same cost as buying 5 20 shard offers so there is no point in getting it just for the extra 3* covers + 1 mighty token it would give me.

    Saving the 500 shards since I don't know which cover of hers I need to finish her.

    No brainer for me. Already had Okoye targeted and now only 7 shards from another cover.

    I got four 4* covers and the 3* support in 11 pulls. Is that..... Is that good? Should I be happy? I feel like I should be happy.

    I took 4x pulls, got a Support token good for a dupe 1* Tinkerer, a Juggernaut champ level, a 12th cover for Hammond Torch, and a Mighty Token good for a 3* Magneto. I'm 250 shards from a champed Okoye, and the other 4* cover in there is the last Hulkbuster i need to get Rescue champable, so i'm into this vault.

    Pulled the trigger and bought out the vault since I was sitting on 20K HP.  This helped me champ Okoye (that was built at 5/5/2 and gives me a third 5* champ) and leaves me just short of another champ level.

    The supports ended up working in my favor. With the tokens pulled a 3* RTF and 3* Kimono beads. I didn't have either going in so RNG was smiling on me today.

    Christmas definitely came early (or late?) for me.

    Just popping back in to say it's WILD that this vault showed up with no official mention of it on the official forum.

    the pop-up every player got in the game was pretty self-explanatory

    He means an Upcoming announcement that this vault would be forthcoming. That would help people plan their expenditures.

    I was Literally just about to spend HP this morning since Okoye is featured in my Shards store. Happy coincidence is that I'd much rather spend it in this vault now, and I'm glad I got busy at work and delayed my original spending. 

    Had the dev's announced this vault a few days prior to it opening, many players would appreciate the advanced notice. 
    Come on you have been using this place long enough to know that had they advertised this three days ago people would moan it wasn’t a week. Again every other player that doesn’t use this forum doesn’t get any heads up. If they want to do stuff like that then don’t do it on here, do it with an in game new announcement. 

    Are there other games that do this and let people plan expenditure? Even the big titles I play on Xbox the forums are quiet for news or any real dev input.
    Also, today is a US holiday and they are very likely not in the office today. Not that this is an excuse, but they rarely announce these types of special vaults more than a day in advance outside of a larger thing like Anniversary anyway.

    I pulled two 10-packs and did alright.

    This does make me wonder if this is an attempt to get people to spend HP in advance of something they will also want to spend it on.

    This vault is really good, considering that 500 shards of 5* cost ~24000 HP and it's only 11250HP for 600 shards here. What's more, it's for a meta 5* and I have not included the rest of the items in there.

    I think there are pros and cons of not announcing this in advance. The pros is that players who spent their HP will feel the need to purchase HP with cash because this is an awesome deal. The cons is if they told the players in advance, chances are players will be hoarding their HP, which means less players will spend money to purchase HP.

    Feeling confused? Just flip the above and you get the pros and cons from the players' POVs.

    What are in the vault?

    200 Okoye Shards x 1
    100 Okoye Shards x 4
    LT x 1
    R3 Royal Talon Fighter x 1
    Beginner Support x 5
    4-star covers x 3 (It seems like the 4* covers are the same for all: Juggernaut, Human Torch and IMHB)
    3-star x 8
    Mighty Token x 8
    Elite Token x 10

    Boo for me. Got a 10 pack hoping to get good progress on my 11 cover okoye. Not a single okoye shard for me. What I got was still worth the hp though. 

    Latest token (was a shuri. Roundabout progress on okoye lol), two of the 4*'s, 3 mighty tokens (one pull was a 4*), three 3*'s, two support tokens (both dupes).

    So does that mean @DAZ0273 and @bluewolf are our new mods?  They posted the red vault info and R194 notes, respectively.
