I opened another box... again, all from the right side:
Virizion EX FA
G-Scope
Jirachi EX
Palkia EX
Opened a half box (not sure which side it ended up being):
Shiny Verizion
Palkia EX
Genesect EX FA
Master Ball
Including the two prereleases and their drafts I judged this weekend, I saw a lot of clusters of people getting all the luck, while there would be draughts in others. You'd have four people all pulling stuff (some pulling 2-3 of the ultra rares), and then six people pulling nothing. For what little does come in the boxes, it seems, they are all clumped together in a non-random order. :/
The plus side is that if you're a collector, the lower amount of cards makes this set a bit easier to get. I have playsets of all the interesting normal/holo rares, as well as playsets of all the commons/uncommons from 2.5 boxes. Not too bad, I guess. The inconsistency still is a little sad, especially when it gave a lot of players huge advantages.
I guess we should have shuffled the packs around a bit.
