no there comes a point that players get tired of finding holiday stockings instead of winter charms.
you may not care but there are others that do.
It is not much though compared to doing dailies and such. But keep in mind there is a cut off point where you will stop getting tokens or the amount drops off to 1 depending. Cryptic uses that in some of their other MMOs too.
I don't know what the actual numbers are, but IMHO opinion, there should a flat 75% rate that opening a box will spawn at least one evil toy...I say that with the realization that some spawn locations in the zones allegedly have higher pop numbers.
And/or let the misfit toys from the OM count or so, like other events also let the adds count for the dailies there.
On the ramp leading up to Recn Cen (in between Ren Cen and CHQ)
Three boxes along the sidewalk north of that (next to the trees)
Two at the southern part of the CHQ building (One by the giant C and one down the ramp on the side walk)
Three at the UNITY building (One on either side of the building and one in back in the grass)
One by the Respawn point near the Magic Book Store (by CHQ)
One by the giant grate on the West side of the Destroyer Museum
One next the the hologram Destroyer Helmet at the Destroyer Museum
One in the middle of the path by all the statues at the Destroyer Museum
One just across the street from the path, at the entrance to an alley way (Alley leads to that DEMON filled area. There's always a little imp running around next to the box)
Follow that road north to the grassy median in the road, next to the Destroyer Museum, for another Box
All of these are guaranteed to give Renegade Toys, and they are all relatively close to each other. This is where I typically go to do the daily. If no one else is here, you can get it done in just a minute or two.
Decided to snap a screenshot and circle the spots to make it easier
Just so you know, opening gifts is NOT random. Make a note of the ones that spawn misfits, because they will do it every time.
Which should be a bug, as the gift boxes are supposed to be random.
And, don't ask me to quote some source proving something says this. It's just how these types of things HAVE been in previous and other events.

I'm glad that the presents work the way they do. Easy way to earn currency from Day 1 of the event for a brain dead task that takes all of 4 minutes. The event runs, what, 28 days. So, that's 28x25 (currency/day) + 50 more for doing it 5x, or 750 currencty for just that, plus you'll make some currency just defeating some toys. So, opening presents on 1 character can get you enough currency for 2 of the most expensive costume pieces. I have a sneaking suspicion that opening gifts on 2 characters is a faster way of earning currency than waiting around and then fighting the bear.
I think it is odd that the contents currently ARE NOT random. But, i'm not complaining about them either way. Getting the daily for them completed as quick as possible is best for me, for sure.
Those cats in trees are so slow to respawn/spawn that getting that daily completed IF the LOCATIONS were random would be met with RAGEQUITs and forum rants galore.
