Found this recently on T&T. I knew these were coming out in either a tin or a box, but I thought they were at least keeping one among the three at random. What are everyone elses thoughts on this? Is this healthy or unhealthy for the metagame and why would they make 3 of the most usable and rarity cards so easily accessible?

Wouldn't this only hurt there market seeing as the only different in Ultra Rarity to obtain is a difference in artwork? Most people pay-to-play as far as getting what's needed for a deck for it's accessibility and playability and not so much for the artwork. I know that there are people that help the market by "sparkling out there deck" or "foiling it out" as we call it. But I don't necessarily understand the purpose of this...

Thoughts?
 
The sale date for these is march 21 which by that time 2 states will have been completed. And if you notice the artwork, it is the exact same as the original EX artwork. Also I'm not sure if these 3 are the most usuable EXs out right now, my order of the most playable EXs are
Mewtwo
Regigigas
Zekrom
Shaymin
Reshiram
Kyurem
But this is just my opinion from playtesting

I've been noticing a lot of Reshiram decks in the works, especially with Durant in the format because of Mewtwo's popularity.
 
This is a common ocurance and has been happening for ages in the game.

I have no problem with it, but they probably shouldn't release too many EXs from any given set, and they generally don't.

Also, remember where most Pokemon sales come from: impulse buys. Pokemon doesn't care about the secondary market, and barely care about getting competitive players to buy tons of packs for chase cards.
 
The cards will have the original artwork sure, but wouldn't the tin cards have a promo stamp?

In the past that was often the case, but lately promos are often released with just the regular set number with no differentiation from the regular card.

Yup, they're simply the set ones. May have an alternate foil pattern, though.

Explain the four promotional card break in between the Next Destinies 3 pack Blisters (Luxio #34) released February 8 and the Mewtwo Collection box promo (Battle city #39) originally planned for release in April. The only products they have advertised are a one pack blister for NDE (most likely meowth) and the tins. Don't write them off as set ones until we see scans. There's still a chance at alternate artwork promo versions.

Seeing as we have finalized images of the tins and the cards (sell sheet, Heo, etc.)...
 
Ordered a case of these =) Works out cheaper than buying a box of 36 packs for the ex's.

Anyone know which boosters are inside?

I may buy one later this week. Depends on if it comes with four or five packs and if they are all Next Destinies lol
