About the wierdest thing that happened to me compared to you guys is that I still haven't pulled any EXs or FAs.... Oh, and it would be nice to get some of those Blend Energies too!!! Those things are just down right expensive as stand alone cards in the secondary market!!
 
My Story:

12 packs, Nothing random. 1 Shiny Krookodile.

And I suppose this is all happening in the east? I might buy a load of packs off T&T

Not all in the east... had two boxes where all the commons were upside down... I am on the west coast.
 
At Worlds my GF got 2 boxes for judging.

In one box the RHs all were off centre, in the other most (but not all) the RH has a line through the middle. These were DEX but later DEX one would assume...
 
Houston Preleases had some packs with no reverse Holos.
Also some of the reverse holos I pulled are miscut.
 
Some Youtube User pulled a Messed-Up Serperior Shiny...

I believe Wal-Mart shuffles around and repackages most of the cards they sell (or something like that if I'm remembering correctly), but it is not impossible. At an HGSS post-prerelease draft, I saw a guy open a pack that contained both a Ho-Oh legend piece and a Blissey prime right next to each other, so it can happen. 2 FAs in a pack is not impossible, and the fact that there are even 2+ FAs in a box are likely mostly due to the weird ratios in this set. Still an extremely lucky pack.

Primes are supposed to take place of Reverses, like the Arceus cards in the 4th Platinum Set.
 
Today I opened a pack that had 6 RH including the entire Gothitelle line. Every basic spot in the pack had a RH card.
 
^ :O

Had a Pokemon Barbecue today. Myself and another Professor opened up an entire box with no reverses. Unlike some of the posters here, though, I didn't get an extra rare in each pack. We got an extra COMMON per pack. Not only was our box this way, though. Our PTO had several more boxes from the same case, and every single one was the same. Apparently the entire case had not a single reverse in it, all just extra commons. It's very disappointing, considering most of the cards I need to complete my set are reverses.

Whoever was in charge of the machine that sorted/packaged these cards needs to be fired. This is ridiculous.

Please please please contact Pokemon about that. I bought a box and received no EXs or Shinies, but have been getting condescending emails back from Pokemon about it. You are REALLY guaranteed reverse holos, and you NEED to contact them. They have messed up so bad on this set. :/

You aren't guaranteed EX though. You really don't have a right to complain unless you got no RH...

However, I do agree it is ridiculous....
 
I know you're right. It's not guaranteed. But from the past few sets, it was so highly likely that you would get a few, and there was no reason for me to think otherwise, I think I have the right to be upset. They also outright told me that I should just buy from dealers if I want to get any.

But the fact that there has been so many issues with printing and packing (seriously, if they don't do something about somebody not getting RH in their boxes (WITH VIDEO DOCUMENTATION), I will be even more disappointed), there has been something going on that they need to be made well aware of from the community.
 
I just started playing Pokemon again after years of other games as basing off boxes of those games this set has super weird print runs. Every pack that had a foil rare had the non foil copy of itself behind it. Not to mention the box made is value opening 2 good hydreigons and 2 good garchomps a full art giratina, a normal giratina, a full art raquayza, the secret rare raquayza, and a terrakion ex

Is this typical for the sets?
 
I got a blister pack at Target that had all reverse holos. Including a multiple Rare reverse holos.

I was okay with that LOL! xD

My box was pretty standard though, and I was very happy to pull a good Garchomp, a good Hydreigon, a Rayquaza EX, a FA Terrakion EX, a Registeel EX, a Giratina EX, and a Shiny Rayquaza! =)

EDIT: Yes, I am bragging. U mad? -_^b

Yeah, even though I'm usually really sceptical about these things, the box ratios do seem more inconsistent than usual, and with all this weird stuff happening . . . either they changed or their regular printer is getting sloppy.

I vote sloppier printing. The last box I got had TWO secret rares (one of which was Rayquaza, thank god) and FOUR EXs, one of which was a full art Registeel EX, and three of which were Giratinas (one being full art).

I myself have been noticing an abundance of Giratinas in general. TONS were pulled at my prerelease, and with how my last box was, I believe that something in their printing system is screwed up.... Not that I'll complain much on my end. I've only bought two boxes, both of which were AMAZING!
 
not sure if this is the right sort of thing, but the pack I bought today practically fell apart when I openened it (It also contained an EX).
