from what ive been seeing on the internet people have been getting the best cards from fat packs and ending up with one, maybe two good cards from a booster box.
also, where would be the best place to buy fat packs?, t&t have them for 23.99, anywhere else have em for cheaper?

You get fewer rares per dollar, when it comes to fat packs. Theoretically there should be no better chance of getting a better card in a fat pack vs booster packs.
(Also, if you are unaware, you just get booster packs inside a fat pack)

i know that pal, but from what ive seen almost every fat pack has about 2 mythics in it. And from what ive seen with boosters boxes you get maybe 3 per box. Its just odd that all my friends and from peoples pull logs that fat packs are much better.

I've seen nothing but nuts stuff come from the boxes me & my friends get, and the last fat pack I bought (WWK) was really pretty lame. It all comes down to luck.
(But if you ask me, fat pack boxes are just so sexy)

You can't judge everything just by what people have posted here (or anywhere on the internet). There is a thread here for mapping boxes - in that thread, some people opened really good boxes, some people opened really bad boxes and some people opened boxes that were between the two extremes. The only places I see people listing what they opened in Fat Packs are the Weird Fat Pack Runs thread and the Rate My Pull thread. For the most part, people are only going to post in either of those threads if they opened something good or something unusual. You don't see post coming from people with bad or "ordinary" Fat Packs. While you are seeing more complete and inclusive results from opened boxes, you are getting a skewed view of the results for opened Fat Packs because the samples give aren't nearly as inclusive. For that reason you can't really draw any comparisons between the two.
i know that pal, but from what ive seen almost every fat pack has about 2 mythics in it. And from what ive seen with boosters boxes you get maybe 3 per box. Its just odd that all my friends and from peoples pull logs that fat packs are much better.
The average number of mythics per box is 4-5. Go check the box mapping threads if you don't believe me. Yes, people have opened boxes with 3, but more people have opened boxes with 5. As for Fat Packs, it seems that you get 2 sets of 4 packs that don't come from the same sheet/run of packs - so you can't draw any conclusions about the box as a whole. I've opened a ton of Fat Packs (I like using the boxes for storage) and I've only opened a few that had 2 mythics in them and plenty with no mythics.
Honestly, if you want the best bang for your buck, boxes are the way to go. I always get at least one fat pack per set - but if i'm wanting the best EV, I get a box. I just put Fat Packs on a list for gift giving by family and friends =D

If you're going by the official pulls thread, of course people will post their lucky results. Fat packs are no more valuable than 8 booster packs out of a box, cause that's what they are. I had plenty of fat packs with 0 mythics, a couple with 2, most with 1. Only get the fat pack if you like the box and dice, otherwise just get packs or spring for the box.
