The mix of cards is a common problem that FASA knows about. Other people
here have posted that they've talked to FASA about the problem and FASA was
going to change printers and/or collect compensation from them. Yet
personally, when I was talking about this problem with the rep in Chicago
that night, the attitude I got was there was nothing no one can do at this
time so hopefully the next batches will be better.
The whole is a mixed bag. The first two starter packs I bought had the
same 20 common cards in the same order. Yet my next two or so actually
had four rares instead of the normal three. The boosters are another whole
bag. I have had the first five common cards repeated within the same
booster, similar to your triple double problem. I have had lists of cards
repeat themselves perfectly throughout - that is, I come across the
silencer, I already knew the next two cards were roto-drone and katana.
There are other group lists. Granted, if you have seemingly unlimited
money and bought box upon box of cards, doubles and whatnot are common.
But buying the occasional pack or two can get disheartening.
Not to change the subject, but how well is the game being received? Of the
dozen or so places I have called around here in my area, only two actually
carry the cards. Other stores do not seem interested in the game, along
with my failure to find others in my area that collect and play the game.
Hopefully it will not become another card game on the wayside, but that
remains to be seen.

Bad English? - I do not think so. In fact, you seem to grasp the language
better than native speakers I know here in the Midwest.
