Are you allowed to request certain expansions when turning your barcodes in for the promotion? Thank you.

*** As an aside, does anyone else remember the rumor that Patriarchs were almost ready to be retired?**

I do remember hearing that years ago (back before FooF if I recall).  I also remember hearing after FooF came out that their life expectancy increased (since they weren't in FooF), and that perhaps Kings would run out first.

However, I haven't heard anything in years since about either one, so perhaps they'll both go on forever now.  Of course these things can happen suddenly (ie. the Chariot of Fire promos running out was a complete surprise to me).

Did Pats/Kings have a smaller print run?

I think they did.

That's kinda surprising, they're much better than Apostles.

people just hate Haman's Plot.

A couple Christmases ago, I opened two Apostles packs and got a GoYS in each.

Exactly.  Everyone and their duck has a GoYS.

Exactly.  Thanks to the advent of TxP and Di, everyone has all the Ap and Pats they can spare.  Kings will run out first.

If Cactus keeps spoon-feeding us Apostles and Pats in tins, do you really think Kings will run out first?

Yes. It's called supply and demand. If Kings had a short printing and is not included in TXP/DISC, it is rational to believe players are much more likely to need more Kings cards than Pats or Apostles, and thus tend to purchase more Kings open packs as opposed to Pats or Apostles, causing Kings to potentially run out first.

It's definately very feasible.
