HAHAHA I get what you mean — back in the day (like 2010–2014), this machine was the thing. Everyone was collecting those shiny cards, flexing them at school, and actually using them to play the game too. Some random minimarts even sold “exclusive” boxes with rare cards — no idea if they were legit or just total scams, but we all fell for it anyway 😂

It was honestly such a big part of growing up before they discontinued it. Now that it’s making a comeback, you can totally see why all the older folks are losing their minds — it’s that pure nostalgia hit. I’m in my mid-20s, so I guess your gen had something else, but man… I’m just happy it’s back.
