I collect gashapons and nendoroids as a hobby, and Haruhi Suzumiya merchandise is a major part of my collection. The thing is, I never seem to have moderate luck with my purchases. With the last haruhi nedoroid series that came out, I wound up getting both versions, with doubles, of Ryoko Asakura, Mikuru, and Kyon's sister before finally getting a Haruhi, which is what I was aiming for in the first place. But in the latest series, I got a haruhi, two different Kyon's, and the secret item, all on the first four tries. And in that one and only lucky star assortment, I got Konata, Tsukasa, and Kagami all in a row. Awesome, no?
emo It seems like with every series I collect, I'm either really lucky, or extremely unlucky.

Yes chances are a wonder.
I got my Gothic Lolita Haruhi from one try, and it was supposed to be the super rare one that everyone wants.
My friend wanted an Archer from Fate/Stay Night figurine, so I picked a random box for him and he ended up getting Archer.
I picked a One Piece box for my other friend and he ended up getting his fave character.
I got a box with Yuki inside for my partner (everyone wants Yuki! xd )
And I got some other figurines that I generally like, except Shinji from Evangelion (no one likes emos).

Sometimes the uncertainty is thrilling (even though getting the character you want is more thrilling), and I'm sure the uncertainty is thrilling to the company's (*cough* Bandai *cough*) wallets.

Animu stores, and if people are desperate enough then e-bay.
