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, box 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.
{{MerchPrevNext | prev=Neo | next=e-Card }}
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 Series Collector's Tin ===
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.

This tin was released in November 2003 and was the first Collector's Tin to be released by Nintendo. As the general collector's tin, with a window display and hexagonal design, did not debut until 2006, this collector's tin instead was rectangular and lacked a window.

=== EX Series Deck Tins ===
[[it:Prodotti della Serie Legendary Collection del GCC]]
[[File:EXDeckTin.jpg|right|thumb|135px|EX Deck Tins]]
These tins were released in October 2004 and were the first tins to be released in a number of different designs. They were designed to hold a 60-card deck in sleeves as well as other items, such as counters, markers, coins and dice. Their designs were based on Japanese booster pack artwork from ''{{TCG|EX Sandstorm|Miracle of the Desert}}'', ''{{TCG|EX Dragon|Rulers of the Heavens}}'', ''{{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Magma VS Aqua: Two Ambitions}}'' and ''{{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Flight of Legends}}''.

=== Collector's Carry Tin ===
[[File:EXCarryTin.jpg|right|thumb|135px|EX Collector's Carry Tin]]
This tin was released in 2005 and 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. It is the same tin that was used for the Japanese ''{{TCG|Emerald Gift Set}}'' in 2004. The tin art features a battle between {{p|Deoxys}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, as depicted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

=== Holiday 2005 Collector's Tins ===
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.
 
These tins were also the first to be released under the schedule in which the tins now become available: excluding Spring 2006 and irregular standalone tins, tins are released every year in Spring and Fall (though the latter was classed Holiday until the Fall 2009 Collector's Tins).

These tins were the first to have specifically-designed lids to distinguish between each other and the available promotional card inside each.

These tins were 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.

These tins were the first official Collector's Tins to be released for the ''Diamond & Pearl'' Series, although previous tins had included cards from the ''{{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}'' expansion.

[[File:PLCollectorTins.jpg|right|thumb|Spring 2009 Collector's Tins]]
These tins were released on March 2, 2009. Rather than including cards based entirely on an expansion, the cards are instead based on the three main Legendary Pokémon featured in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'': Dialga, Giratina Origin Forme and Shaymin Sky Forme. All three cards are reprints; however, both Giratina LV.''X'' and Shaymin LV.''X'' were created with English exclusive artwork at the time.
 
Prior to the release of the tins, it was announced that each would hold one figure from the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. However, the TFG was later discontinued and these plans were dropped.

Containing only one expansion, the 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 Theme Decks for the Legendary Collection expansion.

Legendary Collection Theme Decks

Released on May 24, 2002, Legendary Collection brought with it a pair of Theme Decks, featuring the Mouse Pokémon Raichu and the Flame Pokémon Charizard. Raichu's Theme Deck, Turmoil, features Water-type and Lightning-type Pokémon while Charizard's Lava Theme Deck features Fire-type and Fighting-type Pokémon. Each Theme Deck came packaged with a metal 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.
