I must be lucky then :P
I finally opened that last unopened box I had (the possibility of URs was too much to pass up) aaaaaand everything in the was a dupe of something I already had. EXCEPT a Sceptile SR (at least it wasn't another Giratina)
So yeah, 4 boxes, 4 pokemon full arts. Sadly...
I just had a look, and the two I want (I don't really want Rayquaza as much) will cost about $75-$80 for both. I don't think I can justify spending that much money on 2 cards. Sigh. I still have one unopened box that I keep glancing up at and thinking "maybe there's a UR in there..." but if I...

Bought a Kyogre tin, a Groudon tin and 8 of the single blister packs. I'd had fairly good luck with primal clash, so I had pretty high hopes...
Kyogre tin:
4 non-holo rares -_-
Groudon tin:
4 non-holo rares -__-
The first 5 blister packs I opened had, you guessed it, non-holo rares.
But...
From what I've seen, the pull rates for ultra rares has actually been increasing lately. I myself pulled 13 ultra rares total from 2 primal clash boxes, whereas for some of the older sets, I'd be lucky to pull 4 per box.
That said, before I got the primal clash boxes, I bought a bunch of...
RE: Looking For Help to Redeem Promo Rayquaza EX Codes in Japan.
I'd be interested too! I've only opened 1 box so far, but I think I've got 8 or so. The shiny Rayquaza looks awesome!
My boxes got stuck at the post office because they arrived one day when I was at work, and I couldn't pick them up for 3 days due to me being at work the same hours the post office is open :(
I've got a second box that I've managed not to open so far (my willpower is stronger than I thought...

Very happy with my first Japanese box :D May switch to collecting Japanese cards instead of/as well as English. The card quality is amazing. And...
Are all Japanese boxes 1st edition? Because I just received 3 that I ordered (1 Double Crisis, 1 Phantom Gate and 1 Wild Blaze) and all 3 were 1st edition, even though Wild Blaze came out a year ago...
