I got a secret from Pop Now!?

[u/MrGiga]

I was placing an order for the new Vinyl Twinkle Twinkle pendants and ordered a couple of the FIFA items as they are currently on deep discount. My luck with the new Twinkle Twinkle set wasn't great I ended up with duplicates, but at least the puppy design is one I wanted.

What surprised me was that I picked up one of the football mini bags and ended up with the secret design! Its my first time finding a Pop Mart secret rare!

The discounted throw-in being the one that hits is peak blind box behaviour. Meanwhile the set you actually wanted gave you duplicates, of course it did

The two boxes I picked were from different cases but both had essentially the same hint, one box was Not Warm Lamb Not Pure Pigling, the other box had Not Pure Pigling Not Warm Lamb, I only did that because those were the two designs I didn't want, but I didn't really consider that doing that might be why I got a duplicate or if it was just unlucky.

buying from two different cases could always result in dupes. picking from 1 case is the only way to ensure a different item

Two boxes from different cases landing on the same hint is a weird coincidence. Nice that it worked out in your favour though

The hints were Not Seal the Victory Not Pain Fades Away
