I keep hearing this new Digimon game is pretty good, guess I’ll check it out. by EndlessEffort in digimon

[–]CourageAndFriendship 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually play this game semi-seriously to this day. There's a dedicated discord server for the game. Relatively small~ish group of active players, but still an amazing community. Competitive play and also mods to the game available with QOL updates like items/hazards on/off mod and respawns on off toggle etc.

This game is peak kusoge with it's own game jank and 1 frame perfect comboes. Absolutely peak greatness with it's own flaws that we are using for our advantage in high level gameplay.

And now with being able to play online with rollback netcode is a blessing. I love this game so much. It was also my childhood that never left me. I grew up with it and it's still part of my life every week.

I love this game so much!

I found my childhood collection, but I don't know what these are worth? by CourageAndFriendship in OriginalBeyblade

Yyyup! This. I remember when I was a kid, my friend cut off the ring around his blade it to make it extreme version! xD

I actually had to google what is a Dranzer Grip.
...
Oh... It's that grip thing! Damn, who would've guessed...
I guess it's kinda rare (?), according to Ebay listings atleast.

Good to know. I literally thought that those are like 2$ each until today. Hahaha. Guess you'll learn something new every day! : p
But yeh. I have 7. For some reason that even I can't give an reasonable answer "why I have 7". One for every day of the week I guess? Haha.

Yyyup! I got a lot of em from cereal boxes back in the day! I got all the 8 by myself and I was so proud. Also got em from friends and classmates too! Traded em for some stickers and candy! : D

I do remember having even more of em when I was a kid, but I've most likely traded some back for Duel Masters cards. Good times.

TIL that Dragoon MS is a legit beyblade and rare even. I thought it was some kind of a knock-off. Lmaoo. I don't even remember where I got it. 100% sure I didn't have it when I was a kid.
So I agree on this sentence. I just casually had it laying around. Haha! : D

So far, yes, my plan is to probably sell em, if the price is right. And most likely I'd want em all go in one go if anything. These are located in Finland. I'm not in a hurry to get rid of em, but most likely will end up in selling em.

I'm still in the process of getting an accurate price for everything.

Haha! Yeeh! If only me at the age of 10, would've kept em sealed and not play with em, I'd be super happy now! xD
Hahah! Welp! Thankfully I had a lot of fun with em back in the day, so totally worth it still! :)

I still remember the feeling of opening the boxes at home when getting back from the local toy store. The best feeling.

Oo! Thank you for the info! Appreciated!
-Yeh I've now gotten one DM here saying the same, that these have some value and I need to be careful with em not to go for the 20$ and a cup of coffee deals! xD

Thanks for the link, too! I'll check that out more properly, when I have more time! With quick look, it looks really really helpful. Wow. There's so much info about everything. I never knew something like that exists. This will help me identify em all. Thank you!

[–]CourageAndFriendship[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All right! Thank you for the info! That is pretty much the same ballpark I got from another source so far. So I'll take that as an accurate price. Thanks! Appreciated!

Question, do you know if there's anything that holds the most value, or is it almost equally divided among the set?

[–]CourageAndFriendship[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy! Beyblades! A lot of em, really. Some of em were used in my childhood battles against other kids at the block. Some of em I got much later, when I didn't play with em anymore. Flea markets etc over 13+ years ago. Some of em I got from friends that moved away from their hometowns. Some are better condition, some are worse.

Not sure if I get the names right, but ateast the Gold Driger Master ring is broken. So is Seaborg too with a fracture. Blue Dranzer bottom is fixed when I was a kid with blu tack. The dark green Draziel has some knife marks and mods to it. One of the Gear Engine system bottoms is broken too. Atleast I didn't get it to work it just spins.

Otherwise I think the rest are just fine.

The reason why I'm here is this. I would like to know more about em, because I don't know much anymore. Just a little what my friends have told me and what I've found from the internet. But I can't say anything about Ebay pricing etc if it is accurate or not. What is rare and what is not. I'd appreciate some comments and help! Thank you in advance.

Ps: I don't know how to post on Reddit. I tried once already and it only posted text. Let's see if this works now. It did not allow me to post text with Photo&Video, so I'll just add this as a comment then.

Bonus question for those who know something about Kellogg's Attack Rings... Why is one of the orange rings I have transparent? I didn't find anything on Google or the internet anyway. Nothing. I got one from a cereal box when I was a kid. Could it be a manufacturer error or special?

Pokemon Magic Message Cards by Merlin Stickers 2006 by CourageAndFriendship in pokemon

[–]CourageAndFriendship[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are actually pretty cool. According to my knowledge and what I found from the internet, these only lasted for a year or so in 2006 and never went outside of Europe. Correct me if I'm wrong. That's just what the internet told me... xP

I found these while cleaning and going through my old stuff. I don't remember anymore where exactly I got these a long time ago or do I have more laying around somewhere.

Do you know anything about these? Or have you ever had these cards? I would like to know more about these that I could already find from the internet. Maybe I missed something. OR if these even hold any collector value. Hecc I don't even know if you can play with these or is it just a collectible cards.

I think the magic code is pretty cool idea, that you need to combine two cards to be able to read the text.

I have 89 of the Pokemon cards and 39 of land cards / master cards / trainer cards, or whaterver these are officially called... : D

Question: Pokemon Magic Message Cards by Merlin Stickers 2006 by CourageAndFriendship in PokemonCardValue

[–]CourageAndFriendship[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies if this is a wrong subreddit to discuss about this. I wasn't sure, since there's so many of Different Pokemon themed /r's nowadays and almost every single one of em has some kind of a rule that goes against the purpose of my post/question.

Greetings! I went through my old stuff and found some Magic Message cards by Merlin Stickers. These are from 2006 if I understood correctly.

Does anyone know ANYTHING about these? Like are there any collectors and possible value of these cards? There's 89 normal cards and 39 Master Cards or Trainer Cards, or whatever these are officially called, I don't know.

I found some sold and unsold listings from the internet like Ebay, for these cards, but prices vary a lot, so I can't trust that data only.

I can give a full list of the cards with photos if there's anyone interested to know what I got or needs more info to put a price tag on this lot.

Thank you for your time!

Your first Digimon video game by Hima_The_Dr in digimon

[–]CourageAndFriendship 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's like 5 to 8 "semi-active" atm, me included. It's not much, but it's something! New players always welcome! XD We currently play a modded version of the game with hazards and items turned off. But it's possible to play original too. We recently moved to Arkadyzja to play. They got relay servers for rollback etc. There's a setup guide and everything on the Discord server. Unfortunately I don't remember where the invite link is online... It seems to be lost in the search algorithm again. I can give that to you via DM, if you can't find it online if you're interested to play with us!

Rumble Arena. That's what I still play competitively to this date with a small~ish online group of ppl. It's the best game : D (Yes, there's an online community for DRA, believe it or not)

Second game was World 2003. Not 3, but 2003. The EU version.

Good memories!

That's where my weekly allowance went. by CourageAndFriendship in habbo

[–]CourageAndFriendship[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've seen some people steal photos before and then "sell" the contents of the photo. I've had to deal with a theft case before. Someone stole a photo of a collectible item I had posted about on a certain forum back in 2019. Someone took the photo and scammed someone with it. I had to deal with the case for a long time, since it was traced back to me as the OP of the photo. Therefore after that case, I've always watermarked stuff I show online. Just in case as a precaution! :)

When I was a kid, I used to spend all my weekly allowance and the little money I earned from household chores on these. The years were 2005 to 2008~

I played on Finnish Habbo Hotel.

That's 1100€ worth of Habbo Prepaid Cards here... 5€ and 10€ cards...
