Finally some TCG news! Be sure to read the previous update (and the one before that if you realllllly have been living under a rock these past few days).


Pokemon Collectors Tin 2006New TCG Collector Tins – I am starting to lose track of all these tins being released. The three tins to the right featuring Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza will be released in October (click the thumbnail on the right for a larger image). Each will come with four booster packs, two from EX Crystal Guardians and two from EX Emerald, and will also come with a holo EX featuring the Pokemon on the tin you choose. The EXs in these tins were the Japanese Player Club promos that came out a while ago, which Bangiras has translated below:
