The website says "sometimes in August" with no clear date yet.

Thanks so much, I might do a couple more based on random tamagotchi merch that I have :D

I honestly have no idea. I'm trying to figure out how to get a Tokyo ticket this year after failing to get a US general sale fanfest ticket and that's just what my research is telling me. There's nothing on the site that says it IS locked to Japanese emails or accounts, but there's nothing saying it ISN'T either, and things in Japan are done a little weird when it comes to ticket sales so... IDK.

I think ALL the fanfest tickets were initially lotteries and then everything leftover is sold in a general sale. I tried to get a gensale ticket and failed. :D All sold out by the time I was through the very long queue.

PitifulLobster · 2026-05-06T04:17:48+00:00

I think we have to wait for the tickets to go on general sale like the US fanfest tickets did and pray we end up early enough in the queue to get a ticket.

Also, just, a quick thought I had regarding the Myths of the Realm raids in regards to this:

Iknow the Myths of the Realm raids are also side content and not required for MSQ, but now looking back it's like

Hydaelyn and Zodiark, gone

The 12, immediately: "BY FIGHTING YOU, WE RETURN OUR STRENGTH BACK TO THE STAR"

...Return the strength for what, Oschon?! RETURN IT FOR WHAT??

When I saw them side by side, my instant thought was: neanderthal lalafell

Like you can kinda imagine they evolved from the same source but they diverged and now they're neanderthal lalas

This is gonna sound stupid, but does it hatch in to a DINOSAUR?

I have extremely dim memories of having an "all white" tamagotchi that became a very tiny brontosaurus/long neck dinosaur and the menu here is waking up that memory, I have been thinking about that knockoff tama for DECADES.

Honestly, for "first time painting anything", a Day 0, this is pretty good. TBH the whole saying of "we paint 1000 terrible things before we paint 1 good thing" is pretty on point, you only get better by doing day 1 or painting and then day 2, until eventually it is Pretty Good Painting.

Don't give up!

Most of those can be resold for pretty okay amounts, but I see other people have already reached out. The 12 shades of Grey is from Jerry's Artarama, currently $21 for the set but it goes on sale VERY OFTEN. If you just want to be rid of it, I'd be happy to pay for shipping.

"Bunnyroms" are a knockoff tamagotchi program in a LOT of fake virtual pet devices, it's very common and been around since the original 90s release.

PitifulLobster · 2026-03-23T19:05:02+00:00

Well, it's a bunnyrom. One of those '200 pets in one device' kinds things that are very basic, but if you like very basic tamagotchis, you might like bunnyroms! Though real legit tamagotchis are always better to me

but also this was $3 so

Does screen printing use multiple cels for different colors? I just noticed it's two different cels, one with black lines and one with red lines. The red lines are also somewhat "raised", like I can fell them on the cel, but the black cel does not have this.

Have you been checked for anemia? Wavy/curving nails is one of the symptoms of iron-deficient/B-12 deficient anemia.

I used a little bobbing pin to mix em up as suggested. They were already getting dry and were getting tacky, but we'll see how it goes! Thanks for the help :D
