what are the chances/odds of getting Ex's in the Ex Power Keepers set? see, i must have bought loads of them, i nearly have the full set, needing only 3 holos and a couple of rares and trainers. but, the main proportion of the cards i need are ex's, and i only have 2 (Claydol ex and Shiftry Ex). what are the chances of getting Ex's from boosters? and is it worth buying loads more boosters just for these or should i turn to buying the cards individually?

It generally depends on the amount of EX cards per set. Some sets, like Unseen Forces, would yield 4 EX cards per box while Delta Species(a set which only had three), yielded 1 per box.
My suggestion - buy what you need on auction sites. It's much cheaper than opening pack after pack in the hopes of getting the cards you need.
If you can, always buy a box upon release of a new set. Not only will get the box topper card and generally be able to complete the rare set(you will generally have two complete un/common sets), you'll get a fair amount of holos and exs. Then you spend the rest of your funds buying the cards you need to complete your sets.

Try auction sites. There are a lot of sellers that will sell them by the boxes and then ship to the UK(or anywhere else).
A box, depending on the set, will run you about $80 and with international shipping, add another $20 ...so, you're looking at $110 for a full box...which, I think, is around 60 pounds(?).

Yes, if you shop around you can find boxes pretty cheap. I get my boxes for $70-$80 depending on the set. And I live close to the shop that sells them so I can just pick them up any time.

ebay's good for looking at boxes of 36.
Otherwise, try www.theintoy.co.uk. They sell them for ~£70 a box from the top of my head, including delivery.
Just to put it into perspective, people on ebay will offer as low as £55 delivered, which drastically cuts the price per packet.
