Out of 7 pulls only 1 double I didn't think was terrible. I haven't assembled him so if someone wants a trade for another of the set I'd be willing. The only ones I haven't pulled yet are D-16 cogged, Wheeljack and Prime. I have zero ideas I'll pull the special Prime. LOL.
I've loved the articulation on these so far except for Sentinel Prime's feet (the wings are a fun touch) and for some reason the Death Trackers pauldrons refuse to snap in and the arms aren't solid at the shoulder joint. Orion, Bee, Hound and Ironhide are all solid though. I think I love them more than the Classic ones I picked up.
Do you all think that the Shiny ones are worth it? I wasn't too impressed with the lighting options on the Classic versions at all. I've been considering getting like one set of 9 boxes each for each wave of the Galaxy boxes and just calling it good.
I usually order the entire box once it is up at ShowZ, so I haven't got any in stores, but I can tell you that you have had more luck than most getting only 1 dupe out of 7.
The chases continue to plague me, I have yet to get a chase, and I have gotten every series since series 5. I have also got every Defender wave, and I have yet to get a special chase in those, since you are guaranteed a chase in every box but there are 2 types: shiny and special armor, with the special armor being rarer. I have only gotten shiny ones.
As for the shining versions of the size you got in store, I have yet to get any of those, as I personally haven't seen them as worthwhile.
