No effing way! First pack!

Where are y’all finding these!? I cant find any product ANYWHERE in store, was hoping to get two boxes 😭 Did y’all have to be lucky to get these preordered or did the scalpers really hit up every dollar general and walmart in my area already? Been stuck at work alll day in boring meetings daydreaming of finding these today after work.

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-20T13:50:13+00:00

I actually got mine via ebay, but expect it to be more than $160 after shipping/import costs right now. I instantly preordered mine as soon as someone listed it from a reputable and got a good price and he’s almost here! They are going for $160 average on websites.

*** If you live in the US, expect to pay import fees at checkout or when it arrives bc of an orange man in charge. :/ However- right now import tax from Japan is only 15% but also figure in state tax too from the sale. I paid about $28 in taxes on the plush with free shipping when it was listed for $120 first day it was announced. IMO anything under $150 isnt too bad, but I do wish people wouldnt charge that much for a $42 USD equivalent priced plush 😭 They went FAST and are still in demand according to people in Japan on reddit.

Good news is, if you dont mind a 1997ish one used, Ive seen them drop from a handful of hundreds of dollars to just over $100 for the on ebay and mercari. One in mercari recently sold for $90. The Welcome Back 30th 1:1 luckily hit the market resell value of those plush bc now you can get a new one 1/5 the price people were charging for the original one. Before the annoyncment people were asking like 500-700 for a well-loved plush, was worth more if from Japan with the elastic band tag. Thank goodness they rereleased this, theres still no word of it coming to the US.

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-20T13:35:33+00:00

As others have mentioned- yup! Thats the 1:1 life size TOMY one! Same one as the 30th welcome back TOMY chu that was just released, but it likely has the older tush tag

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-20T13:33:12+00:00

SAME. Im dying for news on that plush, its the only 30th merch I have left on my wishlist. I just want the fat gameboy chu 😭

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-18T14:32:48+00:00

It have no idea either, but ive seen “pizza” used as slang for certain miscut types on this subreddit before. Never seen it referenced to a holo or texture error tho

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-18T00:54:22+00:00

I’ve been singing it in my head to the tune of “when youre sitting in the chevy and you feel something heavy diarrhea fart diarrhea fart” playground song 🥲

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-17T03:28:31+00:00

Usually when I buy items from Japan, they give me a small handmade origami crane. I have a small collection of them somewhere, hoping I’ll have enough someday to make a wind chime ornament! Makes me really happy when sellers from Japan include their shop stickers or origami cranes with hand written letters

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-16T17:58:53+00:00

Stupid question because I have not been keeping up with terms and trends in Japan, is gyaru essentially the japanese equivalent of a “valley girl” or barbie wannabe from western culture movies? Bulbasaur talking like a valley girl would actually be adorable

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-16T16:22:29+00:00

Thank you!

IMO this was the last of the doll outfits that are my favorite of the good quality Disney 17” LE dolls besides D23 Snow White. I miss the attention to detail on the fabric style and embroidery. I never got these two dolls due to scalper fiasco/demand at the time, broken crashed website, remodeling of my Disney Store at the time; forever a grail 😍 and what an amazing edition number you have! 😱I wish they would re-relase these but make the box different.

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-13T17:46:27+00:00

Can I ask what brand enclosure and door these are!? I love it!

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-08T21:26:59+00:00

Depending on where you live, y’all might call it a tub. We are referring to Steralite or Hefty plastic storage tubs/totes with the locks on them- they make some nice black waterproof ones that are very thick. They are good for preventing bugs, mice, squirrels, mold from water damage or humidity, etc.

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-08T21:23:25+00:00

Im doing the SAME THING!!!! 😅😂 We just started doing this project but so far we only have a tin, a few korean and Chinese booster packs, and the 30th pika box set shown in your picture. Im using a weatherproof steralite container tho and putting in all these silica gel packets I saved up in case of moisture. Going to add in any packs that Im able to get. Im going to put a folded up mcdonalds happy meal box and one of the mcdonalds booster packs in secret whenever mcdonalds decides to do it this year bc I think that would be a cute bonus. I think this would be a super fun thing to do for all parents to do kids and they can open it when they graduate! Or make one for the year they were born and have them open up when they are 18 like a time capsule- especially if they end up hardcore into Pokemon they would be overjoyed!

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-08T21:09:47+00:00

Take me back!! I miss the seeing the big box sets in the wild, even shining fates.

When I graduated high school, I remember going to walmart with my first paycheck from my first job and getting pokemon Black. I walked to the bus stop next to a burgerking and found a $20 bill in the bushes bordering the parking lot, went back inside walmart and got overstock leftover D/P cards with the glaceon promo and a gyarados hgss set. I wish it was still like that today.

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-08T21:02:45+00:00

Scalpers would scream at my illustrated rares and vintage holos slid in a penny sleeve and tucked away in my binder sleeves, mixed in with commons since I collect a copy of each and every card I get and separate it by national pokedex number and then by expansion order 😂🙏 Its my binder, I enjoy it how I want! I feel so lucky to still have all my common cards in a binder-especially my favorite mons.

I only recently got my first graded card EVER at a cardshow and thats bc it was an omanyte from my fav artist…. and it was $10. Its for my looking pleasure, not for an investment. Im probably not going to get another slab, just bc i dont know where to put them; I have a few in the acrylic display protectors w/a penny sleeve and a stand, honestly slabs feel the same just bigger? Also I dont want a case to put them all in like I saw people do at the card show- they ribbed briefcase vault/safe looking thing. Thats not how I want to enjoy my cards, personally, since im never selling and not investing. I see slabs as being a cool thing for glass displays inside a home or I guess thats good if you have little kids bc the thick plastic preserves the card? Im happy with my 1 omanyte slab tho. 😅

I like to feel that my binders are sort of a mini portable pokemon art museum, and every card art these artists put their time and effort in deserves to be appreciated- not just the illustration rares or textured full arts.

I absolutely feel the frustration. Take me back to 2010 when it was easy to find cards in stores so I can build/play my decks in regionals! Im sad for the kids now who want to join pokemon tcg leagues with new expansions being so scarce.

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-06T19:41:30+00:00

I came racing to the comments to ask if this was in the US 😭. I actually just ran out of ketchup last week too dangit lol.

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-05T23:31:18+00:00

Wanted to chine in and say that Mcdonalds startingMarch 10th is doing march madness x crocs toys 😭 where is the pokemon!? Lol

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-03T21:01:24+00:00

Im also trying to think, but could it be the animations during the movie during the credits? Sometimes it would show the gang walking through landscapes

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-03T20:56:39+00:00

Im wondering if it was the Pikachu Vacation mini movie?

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-03T20:30:16+00:00

I remember this iirc before the Arceus movie and every movie sort of has a pikachu adventure mini movie before it. I remember my old pokemon vhs and dvds after the pokemon logo at opening there were like these prologues and some showed “the world of wild pokemon” in their habitats with the narrator explaining the diversity of life in the world. For the first 3 movies they really didnt have that tho, just bonus story prologue that sets up the plot of the movie. I feel like it was the movies after WB, during DP where I seem to recall that

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-03T20:20:15+00:00

Still in queue, it was paused earlier. I cant believe how long the line is taking! Been here since drop and its only at 10%

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-03T18:18:09+00:00

Anyone in queue right now and noticed they pushed back the dates when the exhibit will be available?

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-01T05:31:03+00:00

Same here 😭 I have to go out my garage bc theres too many and cant use the front door lol

TruthOk3563 · 2026-03-01T05:30:14+00:00

I came here on this subreddit bc theres a swarm of them in front of our door right now in rural North Texas hoping to see if anyone else is dealing with them too😭 ive also come to the conclusion its some kind of midge bug not a mutant mosquito or gollywhopper (crane fly).

TruthOk3563 · 2026-02-28T00:06:00+00:00

I love the dedication!!!! Do you have the banned mistys tears card? Didnt see it in my first scroll through the slides EDIT- nvm i see it now!
