Was disappointed to see that the land pack had a ton of the reprinted Zen lands in it. I already have a ton of those and don't care for the Island, Mountain or Swamp. To make matters worse I pulled those same lands in several of my boosters too. >_>
Do by "a ton of" you mean that there were more of those than the new ones, or just an expression of disappointment as you would prefer to have more of the new ones?
It seemed to me that I got an average of about 3-4 of each individual art. However, since I wasn't interested in any of the original Zen artwork lands and there are 5 of them, it felt like a large portion of the land pack was full of old Zen lands. I personally would have preferred none of those lands in the full art land pack because I have a lot of them already and don't care much for them, but I know some people like them so I understand why Wizards put them in. I was happy to get those Wastes cards though.
My LGS is like half a block from my office, so on release day a couple of friends usually meet up there at lunch, get a fat pack and play a few games. There were three of us yesterday, and between the three of us we also pulled zero foils and zero mythics between the 27 packs. Just a fluke of math I'm sure, but we all thought it was odd.

i think he meant that he weighed them and had 2000 lbs of those lands
If you live in the Lancaster Ohio area, the big box stores still have fat packs. People are afraid of the 2 inches of snow, so they have yet to sell out. Walmart still have four when I picked up mine.
Every single rare of mine was an Eldrazi, but I did get a Kozilek.
Because it was one pack put of the whole box. The rest of the packs where the same.
Based on a 27 second video and the opening of a single pack in the video you assumed that every pack was the same? You can't really expect people to automatically assume that that was the outcome based on a shot video and the piles of cards that are already on that table. It really sounds like an attempt at drumming up views, comments, and like for the channel and/or video.

Trolling Magic since 2000.
I play Standard, EDH, and a very tiny bit of Modern.
no fatpacks at the WM I work at. we put out couple dozen OGW boosters.
BFZ we only had 3 fatpacks that sold in 2 days. still 3 or 4 gift boxes on the shelf and gobs of Origins and BFZ products. no room for more so I don't think we'll have them.
LGS for me even tho it's slightly higher without my wm associate discount
There are fatpacks available at stores near me but they are being sold for 70 USD. Further proof that wizards needs to release a land product for this set... it's the sole reason these packs are so hard to come by or too expensive. Can't they just make starter decks/tournament packs like they used to?
My LGS seemed to have about 12 left after I bought a couple. I was surprised by how few Wastes I opened in packs. I didn't expect them to be every pack, but I only opened 3 up in all of those packs, seems a little low to me.
I'm seeing them being sold on TCG player for $44 still.
That's barely over MSRP.
If you want one to have one I would just order there. If you are trying to invest in gem I would pause because there may be something we don't know. If they were worth as much as BFZ they should be gone by now.
I was able to grab my customary three fatpacks from a local store that sells them for $32 each. I tend to use the fatpack boxes to store my extra commons in a set. I see a lot of other people throw out their extra commons after a draft, but I always hold onto mine in hope that when another ten years pass I can go through my collection and find 22 copies of a tournament staple like serum visions. It happened to me when I got back into the game two years ago after leaving in Mirrodin block.

Unrelated to fat packs, but I do the same thing. I always keep at least 4 of anything and it pays off. When I returned to Magic after a 12 year hiatus, I was fortunate enough to find all of my cards including my sorted commons/uncommons and in them were 4 Force of Wills and 8 Wastelands (among other goodies). You never know what will go up or what cards make other cards now valuable (i.e. Lions Eye Diamond was worthless until Infernal Tutor).
How does one tell the difference between a sealed land pack with Wastes and one without? I assumed the Wastes packs would have the card in the front but that doesn't appear to be the case.
The Snowpocalypse seems to have worked in my favor, as Wal-Mart still had 6-7 of these when I went there Sunday morning.
I bought one to open, one to save for later, and left the rest so others could have the same pleasant surprise I did.
Too bad the contents of the one I opened were super-meh, but at least I have several Wastes now (opened 4 in addition to the ones in the Land Pack).

Here in Canada (Ontario), product is always slightly more expensive but due to the depressed value of the Canadian Dollar (about 70 cents or so), local gaming stores need to adjust retail price.
Expect to pay $60 to $65 depending upon how far north you may be.
So I went to target to grab some PlayStation Store gift cards* and decided to look to see if they were out of Oath fatpacks. They were out, but I found a single BFZ fatpack and purchased it. I guess this only goes to show that it's always worth looking when you're at a big box store no matter how many times you've been there before.
*(Sony has been hacked too many times and I got tired of resetting my password, so I now buy the gift cards if I want to download a game off of the PSN)

Very nice! The best cards out of my fatpack was the land pack, everything else was not so good.
