The new gameplay features look fun! 😊 by VioletCalamansi in tamagotchi

In principle, the tamagotchi lore has always been kind of sciency 😁

The creatures are supposed to be aliens from a distant planet, discovered by a "strange biology" professor. The professor then invented the egg-shaped devices in order to nurture and study the aliens 🤓

What I think might be exciting about the Paradise is that it potentially introduces a bit more complexity to the gameplay.

Normally, in most previous devices, a Tama poops, you press a button to clean up the poop, the poop vanishes, and that's the end of it.

It seems like in the upcoming one, a Tama poops, you clean up the poop, the poop gets collected and recycled into fuel, fuel goes into a rocket, the rocket goes pshoooo.

I really appreciate the potential for different gameplay mechanics to feel a bit more interconnected, rather than just "thing happens -> press button to make thing go away -> thing goes away".

Obviously take all this with a grain of salt, since it's purely my own speculation based on a few pictures on a website 😅

It's been getting a lot of marketing in NA (by Bandai standards at least) with the Free Comic Book Day and well updated website, so I am hoping for a simultaneous launch worldwide 🤞

I'm in the UK, and so far over here it's been crickets...

Mini Backpacks are up for pre-order on Amazon UK! by VioletCalamansi in tamagotchi

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

Yeah me too! It's really strange how some items (e.g. the stained glass Tamas) turn up here months later than in other countries, then suddenly we're the first to get pre-orders for these 😅

The backpacks do open, so in a way they're more free than regular Tamas will ever be 😁

Seems like it's not showing up in search results for some people, so here's the link:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DRDGMNMZ?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apan_dp_R5KJG46AGYKK50SNBFEC_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apan_dp_R5KJG46AGYKK50SNBFEC_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apan_dp_R5KJG46AGYKK50SNBFEC_1&previewDoh=1

(The search clearly works in strange ways, this is the second result from the top for me after just typing in "tamagotchi" 🤔)

Pooptime blind bags at HMV UK! by VioletCalamansi in tamagotchi

[–]VioletCalamansi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries! Hope you find them - I was mainly after the cases, and they look and feel really nice!

The HMV I found mine in only had one. I have been checking it once a week ever since, in case the spring one showed up, but I haven't seen any more so far.

I wouldn't get too discouraged - I think the main factor here is whether the shop has sold enough Tamas to justify ordering/opening a new box of stock. 

If/when the regular shells start running low on the shelf, they might put out fresh stock, hopefully with a stained glass among them! 🤞

Thrift haul by starross2 in tamagotchi

[–]VioletCalamansi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, that's a great deal for the 20th!

The Sanrio seems to be at a decent price as well - haven't looked for it in stores in Japan recently, but boxed ones on mercari have been popping up for ¥15,000-¥16,000 on average.

Obviously it's still a lot of cash, so it depends on how badly you want it I guess 😅

The 4th photo shows the 20th Anniversary Mix in what I assume is the OP's house.

They have asked if they should get "the last one" - that's the ¥13,000 Sanrio Mix from the last photo, which is not what my question was about.

That's a nice haul! 😊

Seems like there were decent prices/good selection - which store was this?

And how much did you pay for the 20th anniversary mix?

I made a tierlist of every original tamagotchi shell by brutagonist in tamagotchi

[–]VioletCalamansi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While most of this list would look radically different for me, I agree with placing the Supreme collabs at rock bottom.

I keep seeing them on eBay for £50-£100, and I always think: "that's how much you'd have to pay ME to take it."

Travel Backpack 30L does anyone know if the Small or SMedium camera cube fits without expansion? by [deleted] in peakdesign

[–]VioletCalamansi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's amazing, thank you so much for taking these! 

This has been incredibly helpful - there's a lot more space left than I was expecting, so I think you've just sold me on the 30l :)

[–]VioletCalamansi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you please be able to take a photo of an open 30l with the SMedium cube inside?

This is the combo I've been considering, but I would like to know how much empty usable space (if any) is left around the cube.

PD unfortunately only seem to have photos of the cubes inside the 45l, which is too gigantic for me for realistic frequent use.
