If i remember correctly, there are a limited number of chests containing EB's, like two. And there is only one Mystery Ray.
Theoretically, you can import only one item per character of the class the EB and MR belong to, so if you did get six EB's you couldn't also bring an MR, or a Spear +2 (another excellent starter for W-8) or an Ankh of Might.
I did tons of imports when i first started playing W-8, and i found it to be random sometimes, and i didn't always get everything i "should" have according to the lists on Flamestryke, but they reflected very accurately what happened most of the time. You have to understand the theory in "import item basics" and that it is a bit imcomplete as your party as a whole also has rules limiting the number of weapons/armor/misc. they can bring as a group.
The best recommendation for you would be to have all the items you want to try importing in a pile and save the game there, and test several combinations until you get what you want.
You can do that with classes, too, as some races import much better as certain classes, which you can then switch right away in W-8, and have attribute advantages over importing them in the class you switch to.
