Yeah, at least at this stage the allmighty 380 has thrust reversers only on #2 and #3.
That's because it's wingspan is much wider than any other plane landing on any other runway, and the risk of sucking in unwanted objects in the outboard engines is a factor.
Last but not least it doesen't need thrust reversers on all 4 to stop.
EDIT: John, you are rated on 119 more aircraft types than me, dunno why i bother to answer you, or why you are asking.
