All of those figures are top-tier and I'm more than a bit jealous. An underrated aspect of the Serena and Sylveon fig is the fact that Sylveon's ribbons form a heart.

I get the Kotobukiya figures both because I like them and because it helps keep the US Pokemon Center website around and shows them there's a demand for figures a tier above Nendoroids and Figmas in the USA, so they'll maybe actually bring the ArtFX J figures and the G.E.M. figures to the store in the future so I won't have to pay international shipping to get them.

Oooh that's a great idea! I hope they do come to the US store!

Yeah, even if they release two months after they do in Japan every time, they're above the store's free shipping threshold ($50), so the savings on shipping would be worth the delay. Aesthetically, I do prefer the G.E.M. and Art J FX figures.

I was wondering since were talking merchindiseing here can someone direct me to the best place to value a old piece I have? It a New York origonal pokemon center opening day pin i bought on a visit to that center back in febuary 2002. Still in its origonal box still brand new and number place. If anyone asks if I am serious I can post a pic to prove it but cant at the moment as my sons useing my phone to watch youtube kids

 

[EmraldFox]

Hey guys, I recently started making videos again - I did an unboxing of the new legendary McDonald's promotion. However feel free to skip towards the last minute or so of the video, I picked up some paper theatres, terrariums, nanoblocks and various gachapon items.

you know you just reminded me of a story I once heard of this one guy who literly found a gold mine. Burger king once did a promotion of gold plated pokemon cards a long time ago. Couple of years back looooong after the promotion had ended guy buys a storage locker in an auction and opens it to find its full of these cards. Turns out the locker was once owned by a manager manageing the local burger king and he had put the cards there for storage for the promotion that was ongoing but they were not all used. I cant remember if that story was true or not

 

[Auticorn]

I don't usually post my plushies... but this one is pretty damn special!

Spoiler:

See, my cousin lives in Maine. I'm originally from there (moved to AZ for better climate etc etc), and my mom went to visit family there. He gave it to her to give to me. <3 We grew up together and are very, very close!

Does anybody know what this case was made for/where it was released and similar details? I've always had it since a kid and never really seen anything like it anywhere else! I've heard it's a really rare and limited GBA case (for Pokemon Emerald's release) but have got no memory of where it was from or anything, just thought it would be a cool bit of merch to post and ask questions about :)

Definitely a limited edition, aluminium Gameboy Advanced SP collectors case that, if I remember correctly, came with Pokémon Emerald (but can't confirm). I've seen prices go between $25 and $50 depending on the condition. Do you still have the green lanyard it came with?

Definitely a neat piece to have and pretty rare too! A lucky find! ♡

What are you going to use it for? Or are you planning on selling it?

Cool thanks for the info! I'll probably keep it and store my old Pokemon cartridges in it, like Emerald, FireRed etc! It seems like a pretty unique bit of merch, so would be good to keep it around for Pokemon purposes haha :)

Pretty much the only PokéMerch I still buy: plushes! A few of these are from my and my cousin's childhood collections and a couple were bought full-price or online, but most of them were thrift store finds (that Build-a-Bear Eevee was pretty exciting!). My dad found me a few more the other day (including Umbreon and Mimikyu), so I had to do a little bit of reorganizing.

Spoiler:

(Shiny Dunsparce in the last pic was commissioned.)
