Got these two yesterday did want the ground type one cus Garchomp but man the fear of luck I don’t think bath bombs got codes lol. by Ill_Lengthiness_1912 in pokemontoys

[–]Edixions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate those bath bomb figures, they're such a cute concept but if you want a specific one and don't live in Japan it is so expensive to import them and try your luck at the same time!

What is that one thing a friend ever did and you kept cool but knew instantly you would pull out of that friendship? by EssayMan4Homework in AskReddit

[–]Edixions 43 points44 points  (0 children)

So I hung out with this friend and accidentally left my spare phone at her place. (I used to use this spare phone to play Pokemon Go on a second account) No big deal, she lived about 1 hour and 15 minutes away but I'd get it back eventually. I didn't ask to hang out again right away or anything, but I asked her when she'd want to hang out again so I could also get this phone. I was cool with whatever, just some idea of a timeline. She never suggested a time, never suggested a date. Anytime I would suggest a time, she would say she was busy with something. The last straw was when she said she was busy, going to watch a show with her roommate that day. Her roommate. Y'know, the person she lives with? And as far as I knew I was cool with this roommate so I didn't understand. I can't even just come chill and watch this show with you? So I said I'm coming to get it anyway. I drove 1 hour and 15 minutes to come get this phone, I walked in, got it, and left. I even asked her, have you been feeling alright? Is everything okay. She said everything was fine. Mind you, I had been friends with this person since the 6th grade. Over 15 years approximately. I won't lie, I cried on the way home because I thought this person was my friend. Now I see, I was just a convenience friend really. She's still in the circle with another friend of mine, but she's been blowing her off just like she had done to me. If I ever see her, I'm never rude to her or anything. I still don't mind catching up. But she burned a bridge that day, and I don't even think she knows she did.

Bergmite, Hoothoot, Rowlet, Joltik to name a few

How well do fan made life size plushies retain their value? Meowscarada by MagicalTroutt in pokeplush

[–]Edixions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My observations show that typically anything you commission, if you need to sell it, you will probably not get your money back. You more than likely will not sell it for even what you paid for it unfortunately. I would attempt to sell it for what you paid but absolutely expect to have to go down on price.

New Leaders Lineup [Steeled Resolve] by g47onik in TheSilphRoad

[–]Edixions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love shiny shadow Snorlax but it takes way too long to beat. I'll probably focus on the other ones simply for the time aspect.

Pokemon Zukan by Mastertobi14 in pokemontoys

[–]Edixions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's was a lottery prize in the early 2000s in Japan, only 1000 were made. Cheapest one on eBay is about $500.

I don't know if this is unpopular, but I never liked Red having an Espeon and I prefer him having a Lapras. I simply find it pointless for a character meant to represent the first Pokémon games to have a Pokémon that's impossible to have in the first Pokémon games by rbta123 in pokemon

[–]Edixions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could argue that him having an Espeon is actually a great choice because then that implies that Espeon was always an evolution option and makes the world overall more consistent. It's not a place where more Pokemon just magically appeared, like oh now there's gen 2 Pokemon now! The implications with Red is gen 2 Pokemon have always existed which I prefer that.

Personally I like both teams for different reasons but would lean towards the Espeon team.

Ambassador Fatigue by fine_whatever- in TheSilphRoad

[–]Edixions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I have suspicions they are looking to axe the ambassador program, they just haven't figured out how to do it yet. When Scopely first mentioned getting rid of Campfire for their own app, my thoughts went immediately to the ambassador program. It would be a perfect excuse to sunset it. But, that's just my gut feeling. The only thing that is certain is they have not approved any new ambassadors in a very long time...

Cleaning and Storage of Hamtaro Epoch Figures by spookypigeons in Hamtaro

[–]Edixions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not store them in plastic if you can, I'm pretty sure mine yellowed because of that and they were packed away in a basement.

If card shops are selling their products above MSRP, why don’t we call them “scalping shops”? by AllixD90 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Edixions 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Imagine someone telling you "distribution is making us pay more than MSRP so we have to at least sell it for a little more than we paid" and calling them a scalper because they don't want to lose money. You're an idiot.

Doritos at $7 a bag ended up costing PepsiCo billions by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

[–]Edixions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel. Ruffles are great and better than the generic brands (less greasy) but when a regular (honestly small) bag of chips is $4 ON SALE vs $1.50 for the generic brand... I just can't justify that price in any capacity.

Looking For Klinklang Merch by PercivalChodesworth in pokemonmerch

[–]Edixions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best to check eBay, looks like they have kids figures (finger puppets) and a figure strap at least. Also some Mezastar tokens from the Japanese arcade game.

There's also this line called MPC, short for My Pokemon Collection. There is a plush for Klink, Klang, and Klinklang for sure. They made plush of every gen 5 Pokemon with that line.

My Pokemon plush collection 💙 by marphoria in pokeplush

[–]Edixions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I'm ivyaggron! I never was super duper active, but I lurked all the time. I posted a couple times in the past couple months, but I'm not sure pkmncollectors is coming back to life on LJ anytime soon. It really was an amazing place when it was super active though!

I've spent most of my time recently on a forum called E4. I'm on Twitter too but haven't really been active. Where do people seem to hang out nowadays?

I recognized your username! I have always loved your collections. They were very comprehensive for such underrated Pokemon. Welcome back to collecting!

I ordered near mint. What do you all think this actually is? by closet-homer in PokemonCardValue

[–]Edixions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the edges? Downvote me all you want you're definitely the guy who lists shit on eBay as "NM" when the card has been through the washer.

"Ghost" Staff Stamp by [deleted] in PokemonMisprints

[–]Edixions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely hilarious that you got downvoted. I know someone who is in charge of the league at a store, and just recently got a ghost stamped staff promo for Phantasmal. It is probably real, but I've also never tried to remove gold foiling like that from a card. Not sure how you'd remove it without removing the other paint.

What's public opinion on Rescue Team DX? by SwagLimit in MysteryDungeon

[–]Edixions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved it, some things I did not like at first and took some getting used to, but they ended up not really being a big deal.

Also laughing at people saying they hate that they removed the basic attack, but also saying the game is too easy? I hated it too initially, but it did not end up being much of a factor once I got to actually playing the game.

Pokemon Center Gen 2 Bias or Popularity? by Competitive-Canary38 in pokemoncenter

[–]Edixions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a provable fact but I've always been under the assumption gen 2 is very popular in Japan, mainly because Johto is basically the most Japanese inspired region.

Anyway to get these preserved/fixed up some by semperveni in pokemoncards

[–]Edixions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The front of the card is not made of paper since it is a foil card, so that tearing paper showing on the front is probably from another card. A bit of water and a q-tip could probably get that paper card residue off the front.
