1/12 odds: Slightly rarer. About 8% chance.

Example: Buy one Galaxy Version 01 box. You have 1/9 chance to get Jazz. 1/12 chance for Optimus Prime. 1/36 chance for the chase.

Buy multiple boxes from same series = possible duplicates.

Buy complete set box = no duplicates guaranteed (where available).
