Pokemon USA is preparing three versions of the Pokemon EX Collector's Tin (MSRP $12.99), which will be available on October 1st. Each tin includes four EX Series Booster Packs, two from EX Emerald and two from the more recent EX Crystal Guardians as well as one of three foil Pokemon cards. The tins feature a special window design that allows players to display their favorite card, and each of the three tins comes with one of three foil Pokemon-EX cards; Groudon EX, Kyogre EX or Rayquaza EX displayed in the window so customers can acquire all three of the special foil cards and avoid duplication.
Each of the four EX Booster Packs inside the Collector's Tin contains nine randomly inserted game cards. While the Pokemon CCG may have lost some of its luster in the hobby market, it remains potent in the mass market and the Pokemon property has demonstrated considerable longevity (see 'Pokemon -- The Energizer Bunny of Kids' Properties').
