Why don't I just buy two more special edition tins for $70 each, and assume that I will get the colors I want?

From the photos I have seen, there are two sets: blue/green and yellow/red. Thus, with every tin I buy, I have a 50/50 chance of getting what I want. The probability of both tins being blue/green is 1/2*1/2 = 1/4. This is not a very small probability, but the odds are certainly in my favor. In fact, they are much, much better than any of the odds given at the casinos downtown. ;)

Then again, reports of each set of colours seem to conincide, and Kunshu's 3 boxes were all Red/Yellow Multiwinians, suggesting that IV're cycling between the colours from shipment to shipment rather than from tin to tin. So it seems likely that if you ordered two tins at once, they'd both have the same coloured pair, leaving the odds at 50/50.

No need to order two tins at once, then. ;)

Maybe be a few going spare at the MRP...just need to wait for the IV crew to get a bit worse for the drink (about 8:05
) then stick a few in the back pocket...job done.

Well in this spirit of bumpiness, I finally got round to collecting mine from my mother's where it had been delivered. Red and yellow multiwinians for me! They now have pride of place on top of my pc, on either side of my furry npower thing-with-feet. On the box, there's just 5 minor dings, 2 of which aren't really worth mentioning anyway. Not bad for Royal Fail. May take a pic, but I'd have to clear up this hole of a desk area first.

Just received my tin.

Points of note:
- The Uplink code card is the only time I've seen black printed on black, and it's an amazingly appropriate effect.
- Postcard: Everyone dies.
- Printed manuals? <3 <3
- Red Multiwinian or Infected Darwinian? Hmmm...
Superb job!
PS: Someone made mention of an art book somewhere, this wasn't supposed to be in the tin was it? Games + card + foam rubber goodness and that's good enough for me, just curious.

The art book is part of the Multiwinia limited edition tin. You, it seems, ordered the IV anthology, which isn't the same thing so it doesn't include the art book (as well as other stuff)
