Opened a box today.

1x Mew EX FA
1x Ho oh EX
1x Rayquaza EX

2x Dark Trance Hydreigon
1x Mach Cut Garchomp
1x Mach Cut Garchomp RH

4x of each Trainer

3x Blend (WLFS)
4x Blend (GRPD)

Not bad overall, though I wish I had gotten a shiny.
 
Opened a box and pulled:
2 mew EX (1 FA, 1 reg)
2 rayquaza (1 FA, 1 reg)
1 shiny reuniclus :D

2 chomp
Every holo besides hydreigon
3 of both blend
5 giant cape
2 tool scrapper
5 rescue scarf
1 devolution spray

Not bad.. Not bad... IT WAS AWESOME!
 
1 FA - Registeel
1 EXs - Terrakion
0 Altaria
5 Hydreigon
0 Garchomp
4 of every trainer except Devolution Spray (2 only)

I have bought a box ever since PLATINUM and I have never had a box like this. I am NOT HAPPY about this AT ALL. I bought the box so I did not have to gamble other then what card the EX's were which is perfectly fine, but Now people are pulling 0 - 6 EX's ?! Not only did I just get 2EX's I got the same EXACT EX's that 2 other boxes at my local store. Same EX, Same Full Art, only 2 EX's. It's probably worse for those spending 90$ on their box and not getting a single EX. If this is something pokemon is trying out, I am one UNSATISFIED customer.
 
Box 1: MewEX, FA TerrakionEX, RayEX, Shiny Rayquaza
Box 2: FA MewEX, RayEX, FA RayEX, GiratinaEX, Shiny Reuinclus
 
yup im pretty unhappy as well....

my box was

3 mew ex (2 full art)

no garchomp
no hydrigon
3 total blend energy
nos shiny
 
Yeah, if this increased variance for boxes is something that sticks around for future sets, I'm done buying boxes. It's ridiculous to be stuck with 1 EX when people are pulling FIVE AND a shiny in one box.
 
The boxes are really bad :/ Friend won a box at worlds, 2 ex (no fa) and 1 hydreigon, really bad box :(
And then saw someone opening 4-5 ex and 2 shinys (1 ray).. I actually considered buying a box of this set but its even more of a lottery, meh...
 
It's not like they ever really GUARANTEED what you'd get right? They're fully in their rights to tweak rarities and distributions...
 
A friend and I shared a box. He got the left half, and I got the right half.

He pulled 1 Rayquaza EX, 1 Terrakion EX FA, 0 shiny.
I pulled 0 EX, 0 shiny.

So, pretty bad box, but a terrible 1/2 box for me :(

Oh man you really scared me. At first I thought you said you pulled no Ex's or Shinies from one entire box. :lol:
 
I cancelled my order of a case because of this horrible ratios reports. I guess I'll be buying singles for this set instead.

If you were buying a case you would have gotten near or above the standard 2 EX/1 FA per box ratio with the entire case. Its just the ratios per box are all over, but the cases are still pretty standard.
 
I opened 3 boxes on Thursday.

Box 1:
x1 FA giratina
x1 Giratina Reg
x1 FA Registeel
x1 Registeel Reg

Box 2:
x1 Registeel Reg
x1 Shiny Krookodile

Box 3:
x1 Terrakion Reg
x1 Rayquaza(EX) Reg

Pretty disappointed with these pulls.
 
My GF opened my box today (She always pulls great):

EX/Shiny
Shiny Ray
Terrakion EX (Regular)
- only 1 EX for me, not complaining since I got Shiny Ray

2 Hydreigon (both foil rare)
1 Garchomp (foil rare)
3 of each blend energy
4 of each trainer except giant cape (got 3)
3 Emolga
2 Bouffalant
2 Swablu
2 Gabite

Overall a really balanced box outside the EXs, also didn't get a ninetales.
 
Went to a late pre realese on saturday and out of my first six packs I got:

Rayquaza EX
Registeel EX
Terrakion EX FA
Mew EX FA

IIRC, there was 1 more EX in the box: Ho-oh EX (regular)
 
Decided to walk into our local card store and buy a box today (rather than buy a box online as I usually do. Cost about 20 extra, but my results were better), total gut feeling and it was a fairly good one.

Notable Pulls:

EX:
Registeel EX FA
Giratina EX FA
Registeel EX
Ho-oh EX
Rayquaza EX

Holos:
Garchomp
Altaria
Ninetales
Gigalith
Milotic
Wailord
3 Ampharos...

RH:
Hydreigon (ability)
Milotic
Slaking
Golurk
6 Manectric (3 of each...)

Trainers/Energy
6 Tool Scrappers (1 RH)
6 Giant Cape (1 RH)
4 Devolution Spray (1 RH)
3 Rescue Scraf
5 Blend Energy GRPD (1 RH)
1 Blend Energy WLFM (RH)

Other noteables
5 Bouffalant (1 RH)
4 Emolga
3 Good Gabite
3 Good Zwelious
2 Parfum Roserade (1 RH)
2 Drifblim (1 RH)

Best box I've opened yet even with the omission of Sigilyph and Garbodor (would have traded some of those bountiful Ampharos for them but whatever... :p). Also first box I have opened without a Shiny in it, but I got 5 EXs so who cares?

Very happy with my decision.
