In addition to the in-game unlocks, you can buy physical blind bags that contain either a Bronze, Silver or Gold chest inside. These physical toys give you a chest full of 9 random parts, the rarity of the parts is determined by the quality of the chest. People had a few questions about how these worked, so hopefully I can clarify a few of these concerns. The good news is that these physical chests don’t unlock anything you can’t earn through normal gameplay – there’s no exclusive parts, they’re merely a timesaver if you don’t want to go hunting for chests in the game. The not so good news, is that these chests are one-time use – pop it on the portal and redeem it, and that’s it. You can’t re-open it later in the game and you can’t give it to a friend to redeem on their save file. It’s pretty much a microtransaction boost given a physical form. Not really sure what they’re thinking with these since most people won’t want the physical chests taking up space, and collectors wouldn’t need more than one of each chest.

We get the confirmation that no parts are exclusive to the Mystery Chests which is a good thing and you say "f you"? You expected to be able to buy 1 chest and farm parts? Ok...

We now have confirmation that the Mystery Chests don't contain exclusive parts -- they're just a way to unlock things faster (aka. "lazy tax").

It's going to be glorious seeing the amount of pissed off parents returning the crystals because their kids had no idea it was a permanent choice. Looking forward to the stammering, yammering response from Activision/TFB talking about how they didn't want "a sea of options."

Okay, if I can play devil's advocate here: Chances are, if a kid wanted to make their Imaginator an Undead Smasher... Then that's what they wanted to make.

I think people forget that you can still customize you're Imaginator's appearance to whatever combination of parts and gear you like in the game. But regarding the whole thing about growing bored of that character's play style... There's more than one combination of moves to give them. Even with the locked battle classes, experimentation is still an option, even if it's not as much as you'd like. Just give your Imaginators different moves until you find a combo that clicks with you. Don't think Vine Bloom works with Gunslinging It for your Life Quickshot? Then try Wool Over Your Eyes with Death Blossom, etc.

I personally want to be able to reset Classes because I won't know how certain elemental powers work in combination with a specific Class until I'll try it.
And it will be too late at that point.
Videos are helpful but I need to try them with mi hands.

And, again, there is more than one Elemental Power.
Tombstone Timber might work for a Smasher and Last Laugh might work for a Brawler.

Exactly.

I don't know the various powers very well, I'd like them to be surprises for when I'll get the various Crystals, but the ones I've seen could definitely work better for one Class instead of another.

And there is no way I'm going to buy a second Crystal from any Element just to try another Class out.
