I guess you're not going to Nats and hence I'd personally return it. By the time you play another competitive tournament again, they could be worth only $15. Not worth that kind of drop. You could buy a play set with that type of money in September.
^ agreed, if your going to nats/worlds or if it's FA then keep it, however if you will only be using it this spring for BR's then put it away until Autumn, it would be worth your while to sell it (hint hint the best time to sell it is right before nats, everyone is scrambling to get the cards and will be more willing to over pay/trade for it 
)

So the tins are a lie?!
ALL THE SAD! This better not be true, it will really mess up my trading plans if it is! Now I don't know whether or not to hang on to my Darkrais after my BRs...... (I know I'm jumping to conclusions but I'm just really worried about this)
so he's saying it may or may not happen? Well isn't that nice of him *cracks knuckles* I'm sure that him and all the nice people he works with wouldn't want to disappoint the millions of customers who are hoping so bad for these tins, right?
lol, seriously though, if we got misinformed that'd be horrible!

But the only legal Mewtwo and Darkrai are the EXs; Rayquaza on the other hand, has 3 other prints. (non-EX, Shiny and Promo) This means that either they will be English exclusive Promos or there will be more prints of them in Japan before they get released here or we will get them before Japan does. (which has been happening recently starting with EP)
Now that I've stop spazzing enough to give this some thought:
Nothing adds up here. That pack art seems too real to be fake. And it seems unlikely that a major youtube channel/site like that would completely lie.
....but now this guy says Pokecollection has no affiliation with TPCi. That seems very strange that Pokecollection would just lie.
...I don't know what to think. As I said, none of the information adds up.

I'm saying it's possible that it could happen, but I don't think it will. Fans have hyped this so much that it pretty much HAS to happen otherwise fans will be incredibly outraged.

Photoshop can make Pack art. You never know, though.
They may have a secret affiliation with them, but probably not.
It is unlikely that they would lie, but, they could have.
I honestly hope that they come out, but in reality, it probably won't happen. Why would TCPi make such valuable cards in tins? Why would TCPi make people not want to buy Dragon packs and DEX packs by releasing the good cards in the tins?

All the more reason for TCPi to come out as soon as possible to dispel rumours. The longer they waited to say something, the more pissed off people would be. Imagine if they didn't say anything and no one knew it was a lie until the sell sheets were released?
Personally, I think this rumour is a combination of truths and hypotheses. I think if the whole thing was true, they probably wouldn't have spoken up about it. The pack art looks way too good; if it's fake, it's incredibly well done, but it's more likely that that's actually true. Which leads us to the tins. As much as the fans WOULD love it, it does seem kind of odd that Mewtwo and Darkrai would get tin treatment so long after their releases. (And there are many ways that people could have literally profited from that misinformation; by buying those good cards during the price drop and reselling them once the truth comes out. I don't know if this actually will happen or not, but it is a possibility.)
I really, really hope the Mewtwo/Darkrai/Rayquaza tin thing is real... but I'm no longer holding my breath on it.

Most competitive players, the ones who want the really good cards in multiple, are not the kinds of buyers that buy packs over and over hoping to pull those cards. Instead, those players trade for the cards or buy them as singles. TCPi doesn't make money in either of those cases. In the case of buying singles, it's 3rd party companies or individuals who make all the money, not pokémon.
Look over this thread just to get a sample glimpse of the kind of money people would toss at these tins. I'd much rather spend $20 on a tin to get a Mewtwo and some packs than spend $55 to get one from Troll and Toad; that's $35 I'm saving, plus whatever I get in the packs. And TCPi would much rather me buy that tin too; that's $20 they're getting from me that would have gone to TNT instead.
The point is that currently the value of those really good competitive cards like Mewtwo is more prevalent in 3rd party transactions than anything else. By releasing them in tins, TCPi would be getting some of that market share.

I agree with the part about wanting to dispel rumours, but don't you think they should give a definite answer as to wether or not it's true?
Here's the possibilities of what's going on right now:
1. PokeCollection is straight up lying. Likely? No. Possible? Anything is possible.
2. Exobyte is straight up lying. Likely? Again, no. Possible? Same as above, but this time it's almost impossible. There's no way he would lie about being an employee of TPCi, so it's likely that this isn't the case.
3. PokeCollection is getting info from a hidden source within TPCi. This is possible, and I'm sure TPCi is having a meeting tomorrow to ask if anyone did this. This would explain why PokeCollection has complete inside information, but was rejected by Exobyte.
4. There is an extremely elaborate plan set up between PokeCollection and TPCi, all designed to draw attention to the new set...although I'm pretty sure this isn't the case lol.
Option 3 seems like the most likely at this point, considering either source lying is incredibly unlikely.

I would have to agree with this. It could be possible the tins are true BUT they haven't made them official yet. Truthfully, I'm not sure what to believe either.
However, while it is odd that we'd get Mewtwo and Darkrai like this, we can't ignore the profit TPCi would make from it. I mean, pretty much everyone would buy those tins.
