Please, only post those that you yourself received as a birthday present, those that are bought from other players will mess things up. And obviously, Kuunavang is not a random one, so please don't include. If you got multiple presents, then by all means, post both.
## EDIT- now with 332 data points-
Devourer - 31 (9.6%)
Necrid Horseman - 24 (7.4%)
Jade Armor - 35 (10.8%)
Seige Turtle - 29 (9%)
Hydra - 26 (8%)
Troll - 31 (9.6%)
Temple Guardian - 33 (10.2%)
Fungal Wallow - 31 (9.6%)
Kirin - 15 (4.6%)
Charr Shaman - 15 (4.6%)
Burning Titan- 24 (7.4%)
Shiro - 14 (4.3%)
Rurik - 8 (2.5%)
Bone Dragon - 7 (2.2%)
Ghozer- Thanks for the stats- let's see how it bears out. 45 responses so far not enough for real analysis, but moving fast.

With 323 Total reported, the stats are starting to get meaningful. Percentages do seem to be converging towards what Ghozer posted earlier, with whites slightly higher (74.3%) and Purples (16.7%) and Golds (6.8%) slightly lower.

I started with my Burning Titan.

I got two Jade Armors, on my original Mez and War (carryover names from beta to boot) and we will see what my Necro gets next month...

Kirin--------------4.42%
Charr Shaman-----4.87%
Burning Titan------6.42%
Shiro--------------3.54%
Rurik--------------2.65%

Also interesting to me was the reported number of primary classes out there:

W-------28%
E--------15%
Mo------15%
N--------14%
Me-------6%
R--------16%
