[/floatl] So all the Yu-Gi-Oh! sites have been copying and pasting the product info for the upcoming 2009 Collectible Tins. While there's not much to say on the matter beyond that, I'd much rather speak about the product in a more general way and maybe even reveal a few things that we hadn't really thought of rather then just dittoing the info.
What's So Great About It?
Their official name is Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's 2009 Collection Tin Wave 1. [*gasps for breath*] Whether that means there will be a Wave 2 remains to be seen. The twin tins boast being the only way to get a hold of 2 First Edition packs of the upcoming Ancient Prophecy Booster Set, and will feature the release of the the highly marketable--[ahem], I'm sorry, the highly prominent Ancient Fairy Dragon and Power Tool Dragon from the 5D's series. By sheer coincidence, these two dragons will be prominent Monster Cards for the next two seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5d's. What luck!
In addition, the tins will feature "3 other highly sought after boosters", which, when translated from marketing-speak, means "booster pack backstock that isn't selling well anymore." One source reveals these extras to be 2 packs of Crimson Crisis and 1 pack of Raging Battle in addition to 1 Secret Rare Variant, 1 pack of Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's card sleeves, and "tin partitions" to help keep the cards secured within in the tin.
Yeah, I Don't Watch The Anime Either
So here's what the two dragons do, in case your wondering:

Coming to a Greasy Comic Book Guy Near You!

Keep an eye on DJ's Comic & Cards, as I will be adding the tins to our Yu-Gi-Oh! section, in what I can only refer to as "a shameless act of self promotion." Of course, we'll have to wait until it's back in stock.
Take a second look at the upcoming Sept 1 Advanced Format list and see if that doesn't put things in to perspective, even if only a little. I personally am looking forward to the release of Ancient Prophecy along with whatever the heck this giant monkey does. I don't even care what that is.
