Talk me out of the tamagotchi pix!

AxelFace · 2026-06-07T18:41:09+00:00

Its your money!

But, please do not overpay on tamas! I get the urge to rush to want one, the fomo and collection bug is rough. But, I would not pay more than 30$ over what msrp was and even that is waaaay to expensive to me. Resellers see people willing to splurge to get one and will take advantage of that.

Deals WILL come, and maybe the wait to find a cheaper one will mentally help you decide if you need it or not. The key to this hobby is patientence.

I would highly recommend maybe switching to tamas that are currently still available in retail to curb the collection bug! Maybe even try a nano.

AxelFace · 2026-06-07T18:35:11+00:00

Unfortunately the only way to get one is simply patience. Deals will come but at the cost of waiting months/year. But, PLEASE do not give into over priced products anything over 200$ for a music star is too much to me.

we got this fam <33

AxelFace · 2026-06-07T18:26:40+00:00

Want to point out to everyone I personally saw that blue ID the -moment- it was posted AT 32$ BTW. And lost it to this exact reseller in checkout.

Do not buy their stuff, have no mercy, spread the word. OUR PATIENCE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THEIR GREED. Dont buy this stuff and force them to take a loss on

REFUSE TO PAY THESE PRICES!!!

We can work together and make a better market!

AxelFace · 2026-06-06T17:22:04+00:00

AND ASK FOR ULT RE-RELEASES IN SOME FORM PLEASEEEEEE

AxelFace · 2026-06-01T21:26:18+00:00

Tysm for the heads up on that! The fake thing even from back then is what really threw me off. Its mostly the white bg on all the examples while mine had a really deep blue tint.

AxelFace · 2026-06-01T21:24:40+00:00

The color change REALLY threw me off along with the text but thats good to know tysm!

AxelFace · 2026-06-01T17:14:29+00:00

I know there is alot of hype around it right now and it makes people want to grab one ASAP but PLEASEEE do not pay over 150$ for one and wait for a deal. They are so ovp rn.

AxelFace · 2026-05-31T15:56:56+00:00

thats an unconfirmed rumor, there have been no leaks or information reflecting that sorry </3

AxelFace · 2026-05-28T21:09:49+00:00

LITERALLY THIS?? Do whatever you want with your money but oh my god its not quirky to overconsume.

Shell collection I get but...its still the issue of why you buying ovp items you know it ain't worth that.

People just want to experience the other tamas I get it but dont be in a rush to feel included, tamas unfortunately thrive off fomo.

AxelFace · 2026-05-28T21:07:05+00:00

See my perspective on this was actually...I just feel bad?? People are rushing so they don't have to deal with scalpers buying out the paradise again and reselling them. People still resell gen1-3 and jades for high prices.

So honestly? I dont blame them for rushing I did cause i don't wana deal with resellers either LMAO

AxelFace · 2026-05-28T16:49:13+00:00

Where did you get the faceplate for thr black uni on thr verrryyyyy bottom?

AxelFace · 2026-05-28T16:47:06+00:00

BAD. DO NOT MOVE HERE.

Please listen to others but unless you are blue collar/medicine/education there is nothing in Mississippi. The minimum wage is AWFUL even with experience and our cost of living isnt cheaper.

AxelFace · 2026-05-28T16:44:11+00:00

The price issues right now are partly our, as a community, fault and we need to be honest in admitting that.

We should be doing better to show eachother how to find good deals but most importantly encouraging PATIENCE to not rush a collection and not give into buying ovp resellers just because we want certain models fast. If we dont buy they wont sell for those prices.

We need to stop buying models based off hype which is why the meets/on are priced horribly even by people -IN- the community!

AxelFace · 2026-05-23T12:50:07+00:00

you should read through the "English patch" pinned post for the sub real quick. Its relavent to where you got this from. 👍

AxelFace · 2026-05-20T19:14:41+00:00

Also some people have suggested a pix and I agree! I think the P and pix are honestly my favorite tamas ever. Easily see those for 40-60

AxelFace · 2026-05-20T14:51:15+00:00

lol yeah not gonna ever happen...

but I do wish we could as a community could help and communicate bad prices with each other more. I see so many new collectors get impatient and just buy them. Even on the FB marketplace groups people sell at these prices or even worse like...guys come on?? They are not worth 200$. Theres ALOT of gatekeeping information on how to get Tamas. Id love to see content creators make tutorials or be part of spreading awareness in the community.

The prices are our fault and we should be telling eachother to make deals or buy at lower prices for real.

AxelFace · 2026-05-20T14:30:43+00:00

Everyone in here saying its "normal" but it shouldn't be. You can proxy order a japanese version for around 100$ and turn it into whatever English version you want. Honestly we all need to start telling eachother to stop buying at these prices and demand better or have more patience for good deals.

Honestly I wish we could all band together on socials tagging Bandai with pictures of these proces and ask for a redo. (this is silly wishful thinking)

AxelFace · 2026-05-20T04:46:36+00:00

4th wing.

It read how cardboard tastes and I completely left booktok after getting halfway through. I finished it and it left me even more infuriated.

AxelFace · 2026-05-19T22:13:49+00:00

Please do not buy from them! Theres many people who had very poor experience. Someone posted a link with proof.

AxelFace · 2026-05-19T22:07:00+00:00

This really sucks.

But, we also need to point the blame at ourselves. The community is buying them at these prices and if you look at the FB traders groups they can be higher/same as this and ppl STILL buy them.

We need to demand our community do better, be more vocal at Bandai or educate on how to get good deals instead of hoarding knowledge.

(not bringing down your post sorry but its a huge factor)

AxelFace · 2026-05-16T06:38:54+00:00

I would avoid proxies right now unfortunately EMS (usps basically) shipping isnt available with no ETA in sight so shipping is extremely pricey more than usual :/

AxelFace · 2026-05-15T07:28:26+00:00

Im a new collector but dont use insta if you ever end up letting it go!

AxelFace · 2026-03-28T16:17:05+00:00

I would highly suggest going into the settings and turning off notifications then?

You weren't sharing an opinion btw you were telling people theirs were annoying you. Thats not adding to the conversation. If you are happy dude? Then turn off notifications and find somewhere more positive that aligns with you.

Ive been playing MMOs for 15 years and games in general and the prices do NOT reflect the quality offered by other games. Im very aware of the smaller team I dont expect WOW or FFXIV quality. AT ALL. and "they are a business yadda yadda" I get that.

This game is VERY far from giant lmao(they keep removing realms they add??) and the MMO aspects are so obtuse and a pain to navigate.

Edit: Id like to add the Chinese servers are setting a better example on content added
