You are having a problem remembering, because there havent been any others.Inuyasha_Riku said:
It is a interesting idea....
Woah woah, stop the circus. I wasn't trying to confirm that Dark Neos is/was going to be the 3rd tin card. I was merely answering the question posed by "ricencracker."
If however this is already confirmed, let me be among the first to shake my fist angrily.
*begins to clench fist*
........
Nevermind - too hard to type with one hand. I'll just curse them under my breath. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Granted... we may think it's such a horrible choice because it's nothing along the lines of OMGicangetmyselfacyberdragonnowbecausenobodywantedtotrademeonebecausewithoutiticanneverwinaduelbutnowiwillbecompletelyawewsome (ahem) and we may think that Elemental Heroes are a lousy type (well in competitive play, they really aren't but that's beside the point) but I bet eveyone one of us know people or have seen people who practically beg for E-Hero cards. It's Jaden's Dark Magician (even the stats are almost identical). And especially for the younger audience who actually believe Jaden is cool (*cough*) they are going to be happier having Mr. Elemental Hero Neos with his stronger stats compared to this silly Cyber Dragon (esp. with Zane's Cyber Dragons getting toasted). Really... you think Raviel is there because of its high level competitive play? But since ultimately the purpose of these tins was for Konami/UDE to make money, it's not a surprise that they have 1 tin to cater to the competitive player, and the other 2 to cater to the target demographic of GX.
As for the next set of 3... they're supposed to be reprints as well. I don't know. I have no knowledge at all here. Realistically, they're probably continute with the focused monsters of GX. But, would anyone really be surprised if one of the 3 turns out to be... D.D. Warrior? After all, he is the only TP Ultra Rare that has not suffered the indignation of being reprinted as a Common (And yes, Morphing Jar is a hard to find rare, but the fact that it's a rare still shows how far the food chain he fell too). After all:
Mechanicalchaser, Needle Worm, Luminous Soldier, Toon Cannon Soldier - DB2 Common
Morphing Jar - DB2 Rare (so it retains a little dignity)
Royal Decree, Magical Arm Shield - STRUCTURE DECK Common. (MAS is in the Dino Structure deck if you're wondering, coming out this month).
And while the collector in me would be disappointed if it were a tin card (because then OMGicangetmyselfddwarriornowbecausenobodywantedtotrademeonebecausewithoutiticanneverwinaduelbutnowiwillbecompletelyawewsome and then become restricted to 1 like the rest of the DDs in April) at least it would still be shiny and retain some degree of respect. Trivial I know but still.

No matter the sugar coating, Elemental Hero Neos is still not what many of us wanted, and like most of the Tins from 2005 that are gathering Dust in stores, it will sell, then die out once all the Jaden Freak's have gotten their fill.
It just saddens me that they went downhill after annoucing the Cyber Dragon Tin. It's like they had to at least give us one decent card out of the first 3 Tins. Im quite sure there are more than enough Raviel, Lord of Phantasms' out there and if it was highly playable, it would see play without becoming a Tin Monster.
Anyone who DIDNT get at least ONE Neos in their first 6 packs of POTD can count themselves lucky. I think I probably got one in every 2 packs. Making it shiny isn't going to impress me. The only card(s) I think deserved that honor are Elemental Hero Wildheart and now Night Assailant.

The release is a little disappointing, but hey let's be optimistic. There's nothing I hate more in this game than E-hero's and I believe thier going to be the death of this game. At least this way Mr. Takahashi at Konami can feed his kids another day. While in the mean time the American meta starves for good cards. It's all good.
well, howdy all, this is my first post.
As for collector tins, while i use them, i don't go and buy them. unless they are NON-reprints. doesn't matter what it looks like, a reprint is a reprint, and makes the value of the original take a nosedive. but i do
see their point in some of the reprints. like card errata.

Hello, bear. I direct you to the Introduction forums, where you can post a thread of greetings and tell us a little about yourself.

While I certainly respect your opinion on "Collecting versus Reprints", they (meaning "Reprints") arent necessarily made with the collector in mind.bear said:
Reprints are created for the player who has lost the competitive edge by either joining the game late, or, not being able to obtain cards through monetary means, which directly affects the ability to trade up for better cards.
No player should be left out of the game just because they dont have deep pockets, nor should they be disadvantaged because they can't trade for anything better.
There is no way a Common Breaker the Magical Warrior should have the same cost or trade value as the original. That would be insane. Competition is the mark of a true champion, who isnt afraid to take on someone with a superior Deck, or one of equal strength, but to totally be locked out by having access to only cards that are no better than a Joey Starter Deck, isnt competitive, and no one should take pleasure in defeating said Deck.
For everyone who is whimpering about the Cyber Dragon Tin, I hear no whimpers about the Elemental Hero Neo Tin, and how it is going to release ALL THOSE NEOS to a bunch of "noobs". Good cards should be accessible.
D.D. Assailant was only a 15-20 Dollar card at best when it came out in the Gameboy. How it ended up selling for more than the game on ebay was CRAZY!!! "Worth" is artificially inflating our cards as it is. Is Des Volstgalph really worth a few thousand, even as a Shonen Jump Prize?? I never saw a card disappear so fast from ebay auctions, and it shouldn't even be anywhere near a Holo when it gets reprinted.
Reprints are what keeps this game from being fun for only the Elite few who can afford to play.

Well said Woo.
Although when a reprint is made, it does bring down the original's value. But so do the limitation lists. As you said, D.D. Assailant was a 35 dollar card at one point. Now that you can only play 1 again, it's worth what, 10? Oh, and don't even get me started on Cyber Dragon. I'm almost hoping I can sell my 1st ED CRVs for 40-50 a pop, then just buy 3 tins.........makin' that money.......I mean who cares which version of the card it is? I play with as few holos as possible for a simple reason. If I lose my deck, I lost maybe 200 dollars, not around a grand.
At one tourney where I was playing a big shield, I lost it between rounds. I accused my 3rd round opponent of accidently taking off with it (which was tense because in his binder he had a DB Big Shield in the same color sleve I was playing that day, and I discovered this AFTER I accused him and he went to show me his binder as proof that he.....didn't......steal....it.......F'er)........but anyways that was the most expensive card in my deck at the time.
I use a common breaker, common brain control, common exiled, etc etc. I did use a common tsuki and snatch until about a week ago........thank god for a new list.

If you look at the number of rare cards printed. Its not enough to create a healthy meta. Reprints help the meta grow and give us more and stronger players. This in turn forces all of us to get better and become the best we can be, and therefore our opponents become the best they can be, and before long, we're all having great games and more fun, and at the end of the day thats what all this is about.
Well, I certainly agree with that, but i am thinking ahead. I won't always be interested in YGO. I've spent nearly 500 bucks on this game, and it'd be nice to know i could get part of that money back.
But I'm all for seeing the full potential of people. that's why i have so few cards. I keep giving them away to people.

OKC's Dark Duelist
All 6 tins' cards are now known:
September launch:
Cyber Dragon
Raviel, Lord of Phantasms
Elemental Hero Neos
November Launch:
Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman
Uria, Lord of Searing Flames
Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder
With Raviel in the first set, who didn't expect the other two to join him? Honestly at first I didn't til I saw the full list... then it made perfect sense.
I saw the tins at WalMart and on the bottom of the tin states the monsters in all 6. IMHO, the worst tin release ever overall... so many more options that are more playable instead of picking a bunch of Jaden heroes, sacred beasts, and the only monster worth grabbing from a tin in competitive play.
