I've opened about 40 packs now and most of a single box and have not see a foil full art land from Zen yet... anyone else noticed this? I really just want to hear that someone else has definitely seen some.
I have about 9 now, I've been trading for them. Only opened one myself, but yes, they do exist, and they seem to be much more rare than foil lands used to be. Of course, this probably has something to do with the lack of Starter Decks that guarantee a foil land now.

hmmm, ok well thats good but sad.... i was kinda happy i was probably going to pull at least 2 or 3 foil lands from my box, but 2/3 in i havent seen one... definitely a downer. well thanks guys for the conifrmation
Yup. Of all 41 packs I've opened, I've only seen 2. They're definitely more rare in Zendikar than in other sets for... obvious reasons.
Then again, I have about a playset of every bad/regular common and uncommon there is. The good ones, not so much. WotC has seemingly decreased the distribution of "good" commons/uncommons since M10, most notably with Lightning Bolt and such. It IS just a matter of randomness and probability of distibution, but one must be really cynical to say it's completely random out of SO many cases.
I opened three boxes and pulled 2. A dealer I know opened 8 boxes and got 3. But are they rarer than what we think they are, because I would only get about 1 or so a box Pre-Zen. Do we notice them now only because we're looking for them?
As for the low numbers, I cannot confirm that. In the 8 boosters of my fatpack have been 2 foil Basics. In the box I opened after that were another 4. Or maybe I just have been lucky since in these 44 boosters there were 6 fetches as well...
We've only got one image and a tag line to go on. For all we know the portrait could just have been 'taken' on a gloomy day and the world could be populated by Pegasus's, squid-folk, and bear people who sing songs about friendship and ride rainbow rafts of chocolate.
Last week I opened a box and so did a few of my friends. I got one foil Mountain in my box, my friend got one foil land in his (I can't remember which). The shop owner said they seem to be about 1 per box or so.
Out of the 124 boxes I openned the average that I saw was about 2 out of every 3 boxes or about 4 foil lands per case (6 boxes). The same was true for m10 foil lands. Course these zendikar ones are a whole lot cooler ;).
Yeah, seems like one foil land per box. Opened 3 for myself, one foil land in each. And 6 for my local store owner and he too got one in each. But 5 were plains? Anyway, seems like there is about one per box.

On a quick recount and doing the math on what I had sold allready it looks like it was actually about 5 per case (6 boxes). There were plenty of boxes I got 0 in though, so its definitely not 1 per box on average.
I got one in my 32 packs, this Plains. It looks freakin' sweet.

There has been a bunch of them at the prerelease, I have seen at least 3 different Plains, Swamp and Mountain.
