Showing Creature Collector + RPG priced $10 to $20, without the breakout. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures.

The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.
Creature Collector + RPG trails Creature Collector and beats RPG: 23.3 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 26.5 in 100 for Creature Collector and 18.5 in 100 for RPG.
That is about 1.3 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price. Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures.
