    Costumes that get a yes from me:

    Deadpool ghost one
    Cable pouches
    Captain Avalon (Ahem)
    Thor Pirate Angel
    Wolverine Astonishing yellow one
    Nightcrawler Bamf!

    I'm sure there are probably more.

    Weirdly I didn't have Nick myself until now.

    Big fan of the comic book looking costumes.
    2* Electro and Kate Bishop's are top tier for me.

    500hp for subsequent pulls is the big draw, though some are only 100 and I wish there was an easy way to tell which is which.

    I'm pretty sure it's always 500 hp except for when you get a duplicate from VIP, then it's only 100 for some reason.

    500 hp is 500 hp.

    I realize there’s a “catch me all” element for costumes but also there’s a boss event every 4 weeks and there’s more than 100 costumes so….I mean…..realistically, whether we get one we got free before, or one we never got, doesn’t really make a big difference.

    I also don’t fault the devs for offering the same ones in VIP.

    I do think they should do better at rotating offers to make them more available for purchase and maybe shake up some of the price points.

    Eh? This feels like a weird take. Do you also not care that we get 5 Dr. Strange included everywhere? Or at least used to.

    Or that we get the same classics repeated with increased odds in the CL vault rather than new ones?

    This IS a collection game. Too much repetition in what’s being offered goes against a core part of why many people play.

    I don’t care too much about costumes myself, and I appreciate the 500 HP. But arguing that the large number of costumes that exist makes it irrelevant whether they repeat them seems strange. Especially since you point out the negative effects of cover dilution frequently yourself.

    I certainly understand that for those who do care about covers it’s really annoying that the same ones are repeated so very often.

    I don’t think worrying about whether I get 500 hp or a new costume that I will almost never see in a game with 378 characters is worth my time. That’s my take.

    I don’t track or pay attention to it in detail so I honestly don’t know when one is being repeated for first or like 4th time.

    Some have been featured a lot in vip but I agree they’re varying it more.

    I remember pulling Nick from some vault years ago I guess. Also many players aren’t here for the, say, 8th year running, so a costume one player is annoyed at getting again can be someone else’s first chance to get.

    Lately as I alluded to, the devs have every right to hold some back from rewards to make their offers more appealing to players who are trying to collect as many costumes as possible.
