Well like I said most Tins containing Full set cards (Like TDGS) usually come out when the unlimited version is on the shelves. They may have dipped into the 1st edition packs in order to fill the tins, and after the Sneak peeks supply was low.
On the whole though it's not fair to the average player/collector to expect them to go to the Sneak peeks or buy Dozens of Tins to have 1st ed. sets.
My money's on a manufaturing error.
