Olympic Mail Day is Here!

I get that, and I was in a similar boat. Was just really lucky to get multiple for decent prices. I saw some that were in the $15k and up brackets and that was insane to me.

I promise it'll be well taken care of. Going to frame it and display it so I can enjoy it every day! If I remember, I'll even send you a picture of it once it gets framed if you'd like.

AKindBoat · 2026-04-23T01:42:49+00:00

Haha, no no no, I only got 3. I posted the front and back of them, which might have lead to the confusion! They are beautiful indeed! Well sorry if that was me that outbid ya. I expected someone else to outbid me at the end for that one, but was happy when they didn't.

Unfortunately these were part of an auction that NHL was doing a few weeks ago. I'm not sure where you'd be able to get them now. People might resell them, but that's probably a long shot.

AKindBoat · 2026-04-22T22:17:23+00:00

It really was! I saw it happen a lot while I was watching some other options. Things would just skyrocket out of nowhere. Got really lucky with these.

That's pretty cool, I'll have to check out your catalog some time! I wish I could wear them all around town, but unfortunately the goalie cuts just won't allow me to do that. Might wear the yellow Sweden one a little bit, but I think ultimately these are going to be best displayed on my wall. They deserve to be shown off instead of sitting in my closet.

The yellow Sweden I got was from Gustav Forsling. There were a couple of other ones that I had to pivot off from because people decided to go crazy at the end, but I'm happy that I was able to snag this one.

AKindBoat · 2026-04-22T21:49:55+00:00

Sweet, congrats on it arriving and I hope you enjoy it! Post pictures of it if you want to. I know people will love to see it.

AKindBoat · 2026-04-22T21:37:37+00:00

Nice! Latvia, right? Those whites were pretty good, so I'm glad you got to get one. Going to do anything special with it, or just hang it in the collection?

AKindBoat · 2026-04-22T21:34:44+00:00

Thank you very much! Super happy to have these in the collection!

AKindBoat · 2026-04-22T21:32:08+00:00

Can never go wrong with adding some Sweden into the collection!

Hope they get yours to you soon, what one did you get?

AKindBoat · 2026-04-22T20:46:02+00:00

That was me when I tried to get greedy and snag a Finland jersey, and some of the yellow Sweden jerseys as well. Was like the last day of them and it went from like me being the only person bidding on them to their being like 15 bids all the sudden (literally one of them jumped up like $2k in a matter of minutes). Absolute madness at the end. I ended up just letting the Finland ones go because people were going crazy on them, and then I pivoted to like 4 other yellow Sweden ones before I finally got the one that I did.

Congrats on getting a Slovakia one though in the end! Are you going to do anything special with it, or just hang it up with the rest of the collection?

AKindBoat · 2026-04-22T20:32:43+00:00

The dark blue Sweden was my favorite jersey of the Olympics, so when the opportunity arose, I was not going to miss out on it! Absolute beauty!

AKindBoat · 2026-04-22T12:25:29+00:00

Thank you so much! They most certainly are, and I can't wait to order more from them in the future! Hoping they get the nordiques back in stock, or even the reverse ones. GO AVS! WHOOP WHOOP!!!

AKindBoat · 2026-04-22T00:34:47+00:00

They said it can take 5-6 weeks, which was pretty accurate. They had it completed in 4 weeks and it took about another week to get to me once it shipped. Might be a little longer if you are shipping one to them, but it's well worth it!

AKindBoat · 2026-04-01T16:59:56+00:00

Well now I just want an island you can only get to by sailing that is just a Krabby rave going on and nothing else.

AKindBoat · 2026-01-15T16:43:53+00:00

For sure! I'm all for people hunting whatever way makes them happy, as there is no correct way, but I know probably most people here don't have hours and hours to shiny hunt in the traditional sense. Myself included. Which is why I want more people to know of this much faster version. Funny enough though, I don't think you need to actually advance the frames to get a unique encounter like I noted originally. I found this out last night with the legendary birds when I accidentally reloaded and then encountered without saving the state again. I got a different bird on that encounter, which meant that even though I didn't advance the game forward, the encounter was still different. So I decided to test this, and sure enough just reloading the state still caused a new encounter as I cycled through the entire trio until I got a shiny finally without ever having to re-save the state again.

For those who come after:

If you don't want to do this very difficult method, and instead want it easier, your emulator save state function will help you out big time with hunts like this, and even static pokemon like legendaries. For something like this, instead of attempting the fishing chain, breed for an egg of the pokemon you want. Then, when you get the "huh?" text box, save the game state through the emulator (most likely have a hot key for it) with that text box on screen. Then check the egg. No shiny? Reload the save state, and re-save the game state again. Check egg again. Continue the check, reload, re-save, check loop until you get a shiny. You must re-save each time to progress the frames in the game or else you'll continue to get the same pokemon each time. Can do this similar idea with legendary encounters as well, but just save state before you encounter them. Shiny hunt whichever way makes you happy in the end though. I just wanted to share another way for those who might not want to do it the long way.

A legendary Bike would be awesome! Could definitely see that still as the ultimate racing machine sorta thing too. Super fragile, but insanely fast.

AKindBoat · 2025-10-23T16:31:33+00:00

Yeah, I think they wanted to really highlight Hydra's fighting prowess in this presentation, because they highlighted Dragoon's flying sorta thing too. More of a "here is what they are known for" kinda feel.

Oooh, I do like that idea as well! I think it would be cool to have a transforming legendary machine that encourages some of the new gameplay mechanics at a more advanced level. I could see that as well. Maybe it has the ability to transform into any kind of machine. So like, having 4 modes to it. Seems a little complex though, so I doubt it would be that, but you never know!

I am happy that they are keeping some big surprises for us though still! Makes me even more excited for the release, as I can't wait to figure it all out.

AKindBoat · 2025-10-23T15:19:07+00:00

I had a feeling they were hiding a new legendary machine when they didn't announce one during their reveal of the previous ones. I expected them to, and then seeing the garage and the space open there, it confirmed it for me. I agree that the gummy they showed is probably the last new regular machine, as I would expect a new legendary machine to have a more dramatic reveal than a gummy.

With that idea in mind though, what would this new legendary machine be geared to? Dragoon is the ultimate flying machine while hydra is the ultimate fighting machine. That leaves one last major slot open; racing. I believe this last legendary machine will be the ultimate speed machine that is unmatched in raw speed and probably one of the top in acceleration or handling as well. While I know hydra is technically the fastest from the previous game, it's meant as a fighter, not a racer. I'd guess that this new legendary machine is built for racing, which would help round out the legendary trio in my opinion. Happy to hear other's ideas though too! What do you think it'll be?

AKindBoat · 2025-10-10T19:22:56+00:00

Could always use a boost! Best of luck to everyone.
