I would relly like one of them to be Judgement Dragon or Honest :)

Forrenz - 7. May, 19:30

Guaranteed 2 will be 'Stardust' and 'Red Daemon's'...

Doomfire - 7. May, 20:22

can you really back up your garuntee? i don't think so.

hamsterworld - 7. May, 22:29

reCollectible Tins 2008

any idea what they woul be?

mikey_dc - 7. May, 22:53

The cards are bound to be from Gladiators Assult onwards and they're usually the main/big characters (At the time) cards.
So I'm guessing

Rainbow Neos
Destiny End Dragoon
will be in

Elemental Hero Chaos Neos
Yubel - Ultimate Nightmare
Honest
Doubtful but hope I'm wrong

Cosmos - 11. May, 11:10

I hope heraklinos is there too.

arcana force 1 the magician - 8. May, 00:45

dark armed dragon

I hope so badly and would laugh so hard and cry so hard if dark armed dragon is in a collectors tin. plus people would be crazy from spending $300 to a mear $20.

unknownhero - 8. May, 01:32

It would be hilarious if they reprinted dark armed dragon or necroface, but it will never happen, they make too much money on those kinda cards...

ScottAtem666 - 8. May, 19:09

UDE make NOTHING from the secondary market btw...

They just sell boosters with broken kerds in them

Cosmos - 11. May, 11:12

It's better IF we can get those cards more easily.

isca24 - 8. May, 01:53

My Predictions:

- Honest
- Elemental Hero Chaos Neos
- Rainbow Neos
- Yubel-Ultimate Nightmare
- Arcana Force EX-The Dark Rules
- Destiny End-Dragoon

Not sure, but they seem logical choices. The monsters that are ghost rares would seem like a good choice because usually they aren't that great (exception being Honest) and they are usually a hot item. Arcana Force would be a good choice because it is the strongest card of a new class of monster (like Rainbow Dragon/Saphire Pegasus were, Plasma Vice, etc.) Destiny End is probably the strongest Destiny Hero as well making it a good choice. Only flaw with that is that Plasma is already in a tin. Who knows, they're just predictions.

Jaden_And_AsterFan - 8. May, 04:06

hello!

I hope Yubel 3 and Honest are in the tins that would be soo cool!

Doomfire - 8. May, 04:08

ever stop and think they might bring jap monsters over like they did twice before?

Cosmos - 13. May, 03:29

Always

scorchingwolf - 8. May, 14:27

i put money on this

i bet they will put heraklinos in it the hardest gladiator to get ever i really hope the do because think about only thing in glad that was good was gladiators and chaos neos (cloudians suck haha) btw does anybody got one they can trade to me email me at scorchingwolf@yahoo.com if you do we can mail the cards that we want to each other i can offer rainbow neos secret rare mint condition for one.Anywho as i was saying herakilnos in wave 1.

mikey_dc - 8. May, 16:53

I've got a deck full of only the gladiator monsters there great the way they swarm the field and thats the only one i need now.
Only flaw is you hand becomes empty pretty quick.

grygera13 - 8. May, 18:17

CB 2008 and GBs

maybe Gb heraklinos would be in the Cb 2008. Its a very rare card and its from gladiator assault. Also it is a very good card for gladiator decks. Also gladiators collection would continuou for a long time. Their is not any ban,too. It would be great to include Il blud or DAD. But for me the best card that it could include is Judgement Dragon, a very rare and expensive card, but it is impossible because of the price. 250$ and it has just come out. OMG. It may include cards from LODT. Lightsworn maybe. I think lightsworn cards would be the best because they are powerfull, they can beat DAD and unfortunately the majority of the cards are ultras,supers and three secrets. Also for the guy's comment for heraklinos, because I also run a GB deck and it goes very well, heraklinos might be broken, but DAD can beat down him in a second. So running a deck without GB heraklinos isn't a bad choise. I say that, because I have GB hearklinos but I rarely summon it. It would be better to have three GB Gyzarus than a GB heraklinos. They are completely broken. Also a valuable card that works perfect is RESCUE CAT, I recommend it.

mikey_dc - 8. May, 18:32

The only good thing mainly about the fusion GB monster is Colosseum - Cage of the Gladiator Beasts where you can gain some serious attack faster

Cosmos - 11. May, 11:09

nah....
GB don't need high attack.....

ShiroRyu - 8. May, 18:29

I think...

I reckon the tin covercards will be 6 from these:
- Rainbow Dark Dragon
- Yubel the Ultimate Nightmare
- Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler
- Destiny End Dragoon
- Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem
- Rainbow Neos
- Stardust Dragon
- Red Archfiend Dragon
- Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon
- Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler
- Honest
- God Neos
- Neos Wiseman
If Stardust/RAD are in it won't be til the 2nd wave. Probably only 1 of the promo cards will be in though, likely God Neos.

On another note, that promo pack sounds pretty interesting. I wonder if it might have cards like The Tricky, Dandylion, Valhalla etc. in it. Or maybe cards from the Chaos/Holy packs.

Forrenz - 8. May, 19:08

Why do people want a junk card like 'Chimeratech Fortress Dragon' so much??
And some of those cards may yet come out in Shonen Jump this year, such as 'Dandylion'.
I'm personally hoping they'll do 5Ds characters' cards, and pray for 'Neos Wiseman' and 'Elemental Hero Divine Neos', but honestly, it would be wicked if they included TCG-Exclusives, either hard-to-get ones already released or brand-spanking new ones!

arapokemaster - 8. May, 21:17

My guesses are they will have 3 tins with gx cards and 3 with 5D's cards.The gx cards might be 3 out of these 8 cards.Yubel-The Ultimate Nightmare,Arcana Force-EX The Dark Ruler,Honest,Rainbow Neos,Rainbow Dark Dragon.Destiny END Dragoon ,Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem,or E-Hero Chaos Neos.I really hope they will be Yubel-The Ultimate Nightmare,Arcana Force-EX The Dark Ruler,and Honest.like i said these are just guesses,but if they did put Japanese promo cards they should be either God Neos,Neos Wiseman,and Arcana Force-EX The Light Ruler..The 3 card promo pack might contain some random cards from the new pack Crossroads Of Chaos before it hits stores.The 5D's cards might be Stardust Dragon,Red Demon's Dragon,and Mental Sphere Demon.

Zelda 264 - 9. May, 02:41

5d cards

well...it does say:
"Specs: 2 Featured Characters! Preview Cards to Duelist Genesis "
so my assumption is that were getting Stardust Dragon and Red Demon's Dragon for wave 1.

it says the same for wave 2 but for Crossroads of chaos Im guessing that we'd get Black Rose Dragon and another one of the 5 dragons.

lol, I hope that we dont get Rainbow Neos, Honest, and Destiny End Dragoon. I just was at the LODT Sneek preview and got Honest ghost rare out of the pack, bought Rainbow Neos Ghost rare($20) and bought Destiny End Dragoon Ultra Rare($35)

scorchingwolf - 9. May, 17:54

well

i still like heraklinos he is a beast and i can get him out all the time my hand size never runs out that's why i would want him anddd i can prob kill dad if he got his out first after that i can kill thaat one and and any other and get though spell/trap easy hahhaha.Oh i think juugdment dragon and erhen will be in the tins or yubel nightmare and chaos neos rainbow neos and arcana who know but that would be gay lol.

Cosmos - 12. May, 03:35

dont think that judgment will be in the tin....
hopefully right, but doubtfull...

arapokemaster - 9. May, 19:33

By two featured charecters i'm thinking they will only have 4 tins this year.I can prove this theory because on ideal808 they have the 1st wave listed as type A and B tins and the 2nd wave as a and b as well.I guess they took away 2 tins because of the promo pack in the tins.

Forrenz - 10. May, 19:48

If you're right, then my guess is that Wave 1 will be Yusei's big guns, 'Stardust Dragon' and 'Nitro Warrior', then Wave 2 would be 'Red Fiend's Dragon' and another of Jack's main guys, probably something from CROC, but whatever.

arcana force 1 the magician - 9. May, 21:48

my guesses are for tin promos are :

dark armed dragon
yubel the ultimate nightmare
arcana force ex- the dark ruler
honest
stardust dragon
and a good card from crossroads of chaos.

cybergx - 10. May, 00:48

Wow

This has to be the smartest thing Konami and UDE has done in a while. I'm impressed. Maybe they're trying to repay us from what they have done with the stupid rarities.

Oh, and I don't get it. The new promo packs... That means we will have 9 cards in the tin, but we get a promo pack with 3 of those cards?

arapokemaster - 10. May, 02:37

You still get the limited edition secret rare card.I think the promos might be like the common promos that say limited edition like the ones from the gold series but I'm not sure.Anyway your right that those guys made a great choice.This is a great bargain.I'm also guessing the tournament coupon will be some sort of points certificate so you can get extra boosters from sneak previews and extra champion packs at hobby leagues if you get enough coupons.Or you might be able to redeem them to get promos like the naruto and bleach rapper redemption.

Cosmos - 11. May, 02:04

I dont think the promo pack will have some good cards.
Otherwise, they'll pricing this pack very expensive... T_T

cybergx - 11. May, 03:20

Doesn't The Duelst Genesis supposed to come out near August? We still get a peak, but I believe that it will be like 2 or 3 weeks before the set comes out. Crossroads of Chaos isn't supposed to come out in 2 or 3 months after these tins come out. I'm happy about this.

Hopefully, they aren't overpriced. These tins will sell like crazy. It will be possible to get the whole set now waY before the packs are released. But this gets me thinking... Will there still be Sneak Previews after this? Or even TCG exclusives?

Cosmos - 12. May, 04:18

It says that is still sneak previews.....
But bout SP-promos, I dunno.

Maybe they'll dump everything into this tin....
If that so, Sneak Previews just mean nothing to me (at least)
About TCG exclusives ? Sounds that they're in that 9-card promo pack.

Cosmos - 12. May, 04:21

About DAD and Judgment Dragon

It sounds like : "keep dreaming"
There is 0,000000000....1% chance they're in this tin.
If that so, they'll be in that 9-card promo pack, and their price won't be alot cheaper.

But, as other people do, I'm draeming about it too, y know...

Forrenz - 12. May, 18:51

Yeah, come on kiddies...

You'd have to be pretty immature to actually think they'd throw the most wanted cards of this format in as Tin promos, especially if they'll only be better by the time these come out...
And I'm fairly sure they may mean OCG-only cards will be in the 9-card set of promos, though which ones they are have me reeling ;P

dragon army - 13. May, 13:53

Judgment Dragon and DAD

That's Really Impossible that Judgment Dragon and DAD will be in Tin Pack Promo. But if it happened it will be the tin pack will be the expensive one.T-T

arcana force 1 the magician - 14. May, 00:02

Just wait and see, dark armed dragon will be a tin secret rare and a lot of people are going to be pissed about it.

ShiroRyu - 14. May, 14:45

It wouldn't make sense for UDE to do that. If they released DAD as a tin secret then they'd lose out on a lot of money. Added to the fact that the metagame is bad enough with so many DAD decks, if it was a tin promo, practically EVERYONE would be running it. So it would be a very stupid move on UDE's part to do that.
On the other hand, they MIGHT release it in the 9-card promo pack, but getting one will be like 1 in 50 tins or something, so the price wouldn't drop on it by much, if any.
Besides that I would bet on the promo pack being all OCG cards that we've not got yet, maybe some Synchro stuff to promote the new set.
