In magic we get 240 card sets so seeing people go crazy over 130 is kind of funny. Im excited about the prospect of getting moltres ex. Moltres is the best bird in the game
Y'all also have 15 card packs. Ours are 10.

Nowhere does it say that ANY of the full arts are Ex. I remember seeing scans of Full art Darkrai and Giratina. Could be all the Ex this time around are merely regular prints.

There are full arts of Articuno, Lugia, Victini and Cobalion in japan from the set.

"8 new Pokémon-EX including 4 full-card art Pokémon!" pretty clearly means the full art cards are Pokemon-EX...
I expect that like with almost all "English-exclusive" Pokemon cards (excluding Dark Raichu and alternate arts from Call of Legends, and possibly the cards from Power Keepers) are taken from future Japanese sets rather than created for the English. If there is no intention for Moltres and Zapdos to get full-arts in Japan, this would explain why we wouldn't be getting them. Just having looked at the Pokemon-EX, Moltres and Zapdos don't seem to have been created with competitive use in mind. I get the feeling they don't intend on reprinting them.

There is still a slim chance that the four full art cards are giratina,darkrai, and two others that were not released yet. In the theme deck is the regular giratina that also is getting released in Japan's next set as a full art regular card. All I'm saying is keep an open mind. : )

I'm keeping a open mind that Zapdos ex and Moltres ex will get full art cards. If anything, kids and collectors would want them. I want them so I can use them in a deck. It makes almost 0 sense to not make them full art. Every EX pokemon printed since Next Destinies had a full art counter part so there is almost no use in not making them now. Even if we get them as exclusives, all that would need to be done is to just give them to japan. After all, Japan has another reprint of N we may not get.

I'm not saying there WON'T be Full Art Ex in this set. Just pointing out that with the wording they used, anything is possible. Could be 4 unique Ex with 4 full art versions AND the four FA non Ex. Or it could be only half of the Ex get full arts. It's all speculative until some scans are leaked. Anyone saying "well, this and this and this HAVE to be in there" have short memory spans. Look at all the stuff that was held over for CoL. Or even the most recent withholding of ether, bicycle, escape rope. Sure they are trainers; but the point is they hold stuff back or give us fluff sets to drive extra sales often enough to warrant the possibility. Pokemon is like the NYS Lotto; "Hey! Ya never know..."
