    I feel like the “nada” in Chef Nada definitely comes from empanada which is what they definitely are

    Okkey Pinata Donkey (I doubt Hasbro has ever even seen Wonkey Donkey incidentally) - thanks for helping me puzzle that out - I know as much about Mexican Food as I do about how to configure the advanced setting on a TV (not much)

    But the question then is which one... the Childrens Book / Music Video :



    Or the Game show ?



    I'm guessing the Formers - But I have to wonder why CITV hasn't sued the author for pinching their idea.

    I believe that BotBot was one of the single packs purchased and posted on Twitter last night and the only one not listed.

    Found wave 4 at my local target and picked up 18 (at least from what I can tell)to see what was contained inside. Found Snorg the Conqueror 4440A011-410A-453D-9776-EAD4AC9B971C.jpeg B956A067-2280-4E55-B3D1-5E7647F97708.jpeg

    Huh, that's definitely 18. @Hotconvoy are you sure Snorg was 16 in your case?

    Pretty sure... But mine didn't have black stamped numbers... They were just indented, and SUPER HARD TO SEE

    I wonder why they went to that instead of the stamped number like they did for series 2
    Made it a lot easier to figure out who’s in them
    Which, for being blind packs, really surprised me but made me happy that they did it to make finding certain singles much easier

    The Series 2 ones I found had the stamped numbers on the top of the card's backs... Maybe the numbers are there now too? Not sure how they were with Series 3 as that is not out yet in Hungary.

    I don't speak much spanish but I thought Nada is simply "no"? Or something to that effect?

    Yeah, but he's en empanada, which is where that part of his name comes from. It's one of those double-meaning names.

    Okay, well I can easily see how you could mistake 16 for an 18, and the image Icepix provided is clearly an 18 because of the stamp, so I think 16 is the one we're looking for identification on, not 18. I hope you don't take offense, but I'm changing my Botbots list to reflect this unless we get further confirmation.

    actually I am in Southern California. I rechecked the package, and there are no other numbers in the lower right corner.

    Weird that different people are finding different number markings for series 4.

    Maybe because they don't want people to be able to cheat the blind-bag system?

    It's possible, if they really are different, that there's some sort of system in place to "randomize" these while still being consistently able to distribute the figures. Like, there are variations on numbering based on some kind of case code.

    We still have the mystery of why hotconvoy's packs had a number in the lower right like series one while icepix's were on the top under the hook like series 2 on.
