Agro Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 http://shriektcg.twoday.net/stories/97006040/ It’s that time of year once again where Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc will be releasing their first wave of 2012 tins. Each Holiday Tin will include 5 booster packs plus 5 additional foil cards. This 5+5 model was incredibly popular with fans in 2010 and 2011. Each embossed tin will feature a powerful monster (also depicted on the tin’s lid), plus 4 variant cards including high-demand cards that are difficult to obtain. Perfect for the new player, or for the veteran looking to fill out his collection! Tin Contents: 3 Photon Shockwave Packs, 2 Galactic Overlord Packs, 4 Super Rare Cards and 1 Secret Rare Card. Release: 14th August 2012 Tins are probably going to be Utopia Ray, NGEPD, and possibly Excalibur if they do what they did with Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste. Interesting that they're skipping Order of Chaos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else think that they'll reprint a card in both tins like they did for Duality and Warning? If so, do you think it'll be anything other than TGU?

-Berserker- Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Is Zenmaines an option? That would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'd love a Neo Galaxy-Eyes tin. And a Meklord Skiel as a promo. That was one factor that made me buy the Galaxy-Eyes tin: Malefic Stardust (a favorite of mine) was one of the promos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I don't recall them ever reprinting a TCG Exclusive in a tin. The majority of them are OCG exclusives that were printed as Secret Rares in a booster pack or Shonen Jump exclusives. If I'm wrong, correct me. But I may as well start to put together my predictions. #1. All tins have 1 card: Tour Guide from the Underworld. The one exception to the rule I had stated before was Pot of Duality and Solemn Warning, which were printed because they were played by everyone and very tough to find, meaning expensive and due for a reprint. Since we're not getting two rounds like Duality and Warning were, there's only one real option left. #2. T.G. Hyper Librarian: Konami can no longer make money off of the original print and since they seem to be doing things a bit later than necessary (banning plants now, are we?) I expect this to be on the list. #3: Seven Swords Warrior or Lightning Warrior: I don't expect Konami to print both of them in a way that actually makes sense. #4: Genex Neutron, Fabled Raven, Dragunity Knight - Gae Daerg, or AoJ Cyclone Creator: Because I don't see them printing so many cards from the Duel Terminal, but they all could certainly use a reprint save Fabled Raven. #5: Angel 07, Toy Magician, Infernity Destroyer, Koa'ki Meiru Bergzak, Scrap Orthros, Blue Rose Dragon: They are the secret rare OCG Exclusives from now till way back then that may see a reprint. #6: Mystic Piper: Good cards bumped to Secret Rare from the transition from OCG to TCG are also likely candidates for reprint, and honestly, I think this is the most likely of them all. I'll have more to add to #6 later as well as what I think will actually make the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]K then, so from what I'm seeing, we can expect each tin to have 1 TCG Exclusive, 1 OCG Exclusive from a Pack, 1 OCG Exclusive from Shonen Jump and 1 card that both have.

-Berserker- Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Some of those cards are already coming in Epic Dawn, like Tour Guide and Fabled Raven. Too soon one reprint after another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too soon one reprint after another? [/quote]It still would not surprise me, even after Epic Dawn TGU is going to be expensive. As far as reprints go, again, it'll have to be at least before Generation Force was released. Though Extreme Victory may also not be included, but since there are a few notable cards in that pack that could deserve an easily found reprint. Though knowing Konami, it may depend more on how sales of Epic Dawn are. I think that if they don't print it in this one, TGU will probably come in the one following it. Anyway, here are the TCG Exclusives I think are more than likely to be printed: Prime Material Dragon Lonefire Blossom Super-Ancient Dinobeast Overdrive Teleporter Gladiator Beast Retiari Treacherous Trap Hole Dark Voltanis Bone Crusher Hardened Arm Dragon Gateway of the Six Psychic Nightmare Scrap Mind Reader Vanadis of the Nordic Ascendent Karakuri Muso mdl 818 "Haipa" Scrap Breaker Maxx "C" Mara of the Nordic Alfar Tour Guide of the Underworld Gladiator Beast Essedarii Though it may be that no cards that are not released in Japan through the Extra Packs already may be allowed in. There's also 2 cards that were rarity bumped: The Golden Apples Chaos Goddess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
