As well as producing unique or variant cards available at events, [[Nintendo]] has also released several varieties of promotional items in which to deliver special cards. Such mediums include [[Value packs & sets (TCG)|value packs, boxed sets]] and collector tins. The list below focuses on collector tins, each of which contain a promotional card and booster packs from recent Expansions. The items are listed in (roughly) chronological order and contain details of their contents.

Containing only one expansion, the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] has an extremely limited amount of merchandise associated with it. Unlike other Series, the Legendary Collection Series does not have any collector's tins or value boxes, and only contains the two {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s for the Legendary Collection expansion.


==EX Collector's Tin #1==
==Legendary Collection Theme Decks==
[[Image:EXTin1.jpg|150px|right]]
Released on May 24, 2002, {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} brought with it a pair of {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s, featuring the Mouse Pokémon {{p|Raichu}} and the Flame Pokémon {{p|Charizard}}. Raichu's Theme Deck, {{TCG|Turmoil}}, features {{ct|Water}} and {{ct|Lightning}} Pokémon while Charizard's {{TCG|Lava}} Theme Deck features {{ct|Fire}} and {{ct|Fighting}} Pokémon. Each Theme Deck came packaged with a metal {{TCG|coin}} as well as a rulebook, damage counters, and card list. Each deck also came with one random Burst Reverse Holofoil card from the expansion.
Released in November 2003, this was the first collector tin to be released by Nintendo. It differs from tins today as it is rectangular as opposed to hexagonal and has no window display.

Released in October 2004, the EX Deck Tins are designed to comfortably hold a deck of cards and accessories. They come in four varieties, their designs based on the Japanese Booster pack art from EX Sandstorm, EX Dragon, EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua and EX FireRed & LeafGreen. The tins include one random promotional card out of a possible four and other accessories. Their success would lead to the subsequent release of the collector tins we are accustomed to today.

==EX Collector's Carry Tin==
[[Image:EXCarryTin.jpg|150px|right]]
Released in 2005, the Collector’s Carry Tin is a unique item amongst Nintendo’s promotional items. It features a carry handle, a latch and is the largest tin to be released to date. The same tin was used for the Japanese [[Deoxys vs Rayquaza Gift Set (TCG)|Deoxys vs Rayquaza Gift Set]] in 2004. The tin art features a battle between {{p|Deoxys}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, as depicted in [[Destiny Deoxys]].

Following the success of their previous collector tins and responding to the feedback from the community, Nintendo released the first wave of new “window tins”, in which people could see the promotional card included. The tins feature Japanese art from various sets along the side.

==EX Collector's Tin #3==
[[Image:EXTin3.jpg|200px|right]]
These were the first tins to have specifically designed lids to distinguish between each other (the designs also match the card available in the tin). They were also the first to be released under the schedule in which the tins become available now: spring and holiday (autumn), these being the 2006 holiday collector tins.

Also known as the ''2007 Spring Collector's Tins'', these are unusual as the tin designs do not match any of the promotional cards included (with the exception of Tyranitar in the UK and Europe), and the promotional cards differ depending on the country the tins were available in.

Known as the ''Diamond & Pearl Collector's Tins''. For a time, preliminary images of these were displayed as including a regular Torterra, Infernape and Empoleon, all found within the Diamond & Pearl Expansion set and its [[Theme Deck|theme deck]]s. Nearer their release, however, it was found that they included their {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} variants with promotional artwork instead.

This tin was released in September 2007 as a standalone tin in order to release the Japanese Lucario LV.X promo in English. It was the first Japanese Visual Book promotional card, and the first to be released outside Japan (followed by {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Porygon-Z LV.X|100}}). It is also the first standalone window tin.
