The only reason people thought I was Tinfoilbot was because I bought a paid game that he made, and it made an orange checkmark appear next to my name in the game’s comments. I kinda just toyed with the idea but never had any direct involvement. I did make a Melvin game though 😂 I genuinely believed up until now it was just some troll alter ego of mechawaffle, so this is a fascinating revelation.

ok. giving my two cents on this. one of the orber discord servers I'm in is about as toxic as can be. for example, i once left the server after a bunch of people started dogpiling me for calling them out on their behaviour towards new members. once tinfoilbot went online to fix the audio update errors later that day, they celebrated by pinging everyone, telling the server that tinfoilbot came back because I left. there's a few dozen more examples but essentially it's full of irony poisoned people clinging onto the past and id advise anyone reading to not join any servers associated with them. this has been a problem for a few years now and kinda shows that dead communities should stay down.

Interesting watch! Where did you get the conclusion that the DDD was given to "28 people" at SDCC 2019? I believe it currently has 30+ owners with rumors of at least one more unredeemed code still in circulation, but I wonder if there's ever been any documentation suggesting an exact number of codes produced

[@toastedcherries]

the "28 people" redeeming the code statistic is apparently from 2020 and is probably outdated, i cant see owners of the item though. idk if theres any exact statistic of the amount of codes produced but its probably just around 30

[@Gamersaurus]

I’m really involved in the toy community and have spoken with some of the most knowledgeable people on Roblox toys. They have told me with 99% certainty that there are no more chasers. The wiki has also said 28 people have the DDD for years now. I personally believe there are 30 in total based off photos I’ve been shown if the shipping boxes for the frostbite general. I personally own 1 unopened Frostbite General, and have seen 2. Others pop up in eBay within the last 2 months but for $5,000 I’m not getting my hands on either.

[@cwinship]

really interesting, thank you both for your replies! i agree though, 30 makes the most sense to me and thats what i believed for the longest time too. if i had to guess, i'd say there were 30 produced initially and a few individuals dropped their unredeemed codes somewhere in secret when that REALLY CRAZY toy code dupe glitch happened about a year or so ago, but i have absolutely zero basis for that. in fact im very much not qualified to know about this as i havent myself dug too deep nor have spoken to many possible credible sources on the specific matter

[@StuffsFluff]

@@Gamersaurus huh thats pretty neat, i'm a bit baffled that this toy is going for 5,000. Not surprised its for the code packaged with it though.

@@cwinshipI know they produced 3,009 Frost Bite generals. I have seen the shipping boxes which confirmed this.

Hey I know I'm late, but one theory I have of why Melvin came back from the dead is because of The Pals, Specifically Dennis. I remember watching a video 7 years ago called "5 ROBLOX MYTHS" and it was Dennis reading a 2014 Kazdam forum post going over 5 myths, the myths featured were John/Jane Doe, The Missing Dominus, The First player and of course Melvin ( Yes there was 4 myths in the video not 5 lmao ). I assume that video introduced alot of newer younger players who joined in 2015-18 who may have not known of Melvin, Tinfoil bot and the myth community as a whole and thus may have helped skyrocket the interest in Melvin and possibly the Myth community to the newer players.
