That's why I did it this way. I didn't want to risk getting ones I didn't like as much AGAIN. Last year I only went with a new one because the vials kept disappearing at first (it was quickly changed but I wanted a strain ASAP).

I think it's less than that, even. I was done with mine (only four stages) in less than 48 hours. If it were a solid 48 exactly, it would have been an average of 12 hours. So it's less than that and I was getting pings about the new strains progressing before mine would. ... Or did I flub my numbers.

I have many of those too. LOL see you got the dollies XD

HAHA that's exactly how it happened for me.

We share the same single brain cell.

and crappy luck LMAO

The different strains from each year have different times though (they're tracking the time each stage switches on this post). Which strain were you doing?

I did - I bought them as soon as the notice they were in her shop went out - which I shouldn't have done because she had copies in trades for me because I'd claimed and forgot lol

Sadly, yeah.

The teeth one from 2014 (the vials). Which I thought had longer wait times in previous years. ALL THE THINGS ARE BLURRED TOGETHER. Time is a blurry bitch.

Time is very blurry. I think the vials were the fastest stages if I recall right. I wish we'd kept records of incubation periods - that would definitely help me manage getting further strains.

Yeah, that would help out a lot, ahaha

cool :D also loving this zombie stage :D oh well lol. How are you?

Alright over here. Zombie strains could progress faster... But then that's because I want more skins.

ME TOO lol

I am 100% going for ice next. I NEED IT.

yES ice and metal are musts for me ASAP lol

I looove metal too, but I have to admit that I love the stages more than the final result.

I wish we could have some of the stages as wearables :D so creative

I always want at least some of the stages, they are so creative. I want all of the metal stages, and stage three (minus the equipment) from ice.

I wish like...any of us had thought to keep that data lol

This years strains have been super neat.

I agree with you. The metal was the best of all considering the stages :D

YES! I'm going for ice and metal. I'm hoping for lake if possible lol.

Who'da known where it all would have been and how much this holiday would have grown. Hell, staff didn't know. It was only supposed to be a one time thing.

The little robots were just so cute (also, the skeleton was great)

agreed x2 :D
