Second Year in a Row - Didn't get all 8 Starter Decks

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Last year when the new 8 starter decks were rolled out, I logged in and only received 3/4 of them. This year it's happened again, with only Mega Lucario, Mega Metagross, and Mega Dragapult decks in my available decks. Why can I not seem to get all 8 starter decks and after last year it was reported an issue it's still an issue now?

    I got 4 of the 8 starter decks. Guess I should consider myself lucky.

    Yeah same issue, got 4 of the 8 decks.

    Received.
    Dragapult ex
    Mega Lucario ex
    N's Zoroark ex
    Steven's Metagross ex

    Didn't receive.
    Mega Charizard ex
    Mega Sharpedo ex
    Mega Manectric ex
    Mega Venusaur ex deck.

    Edited since I mixed up the Sharpedo/Charizard decks with the old Phantasmal flames ones since they have the same name.

    I'm sad to hear that it's happening to other people but a little bit assuring that I'm not going crazy. I wish they would try and fix this in an update and try to give everyone the decks again.

    Regarding the Mega Sharpedo and Mega Charizard X decks you got, those sounds like they are the Phantasmal Flame battle pass decks from last year, that might explain the G block cards in it.

    I didn't get a single one of them, the fact that we can't even get a functional distribution is genuinely so infuriating.

    Not only that, but the issue not even being consistent (at least from what I'm seeing) is baffling. I could maybe somewhat understand if there was an issue with the distribution of one of the decks that made it so everyone was missing this one starter deck, but the fact that different people are missing not only different decks, but also a different amount of them is honestly just sad.

    Oh then maybe I just hadn't deleted those old ones and in fact just got 4. They have the same name as the ones we were being given so that's probably my mistake. I'll edit my post so it doesn't confuse anyone.
