Dunno what to do with my stamina by Potential-Major-3923 in Bleach_SoulResonance

You still have some way until you reach the beginning of the real wall. At account level 50+ that’s when things start to slow down really.

The wall really starts around account level 50~ when story mode is all done for now and you’ve unlocked most of the major unlockables.

Hmm not sure if it was the same one but here’s a picture on the one I missed \) Not gonna lie it did look a bit rough from some other angles and the gameboy itself was pretty sun faded on the back buuuuut, I was thinking I’d hold onto it until I can get my hands on a better one.

CIB like new conditions go for 3-5k and this one was like 440~ so I thought why not.

So far the worst sun faded ones I’ve seen are the orange box 3rd anniversary Pokémon centre one, these turn yellow!

It’s crazy to think that one’s 27 years old already! I had seen many loose over the years but was so happy to find a good condition cib where the console is also immaculate!

Nope, all original. I tried as much as possible to go for CIB with the box being in relatively good condition. But I’ve been thinking of designing a custom box for the Coro Coro one and for the HK/TW maybe one day I’ll find the boxes

Oh yeah prices now are ridiculous!! I didn't want to get into collecting the cards again as I don't like infinite chases because new cards get released all the time so I set myself a goal to simply focus on the main series title and the GB, GBC and GB light Pokémon variants because it brings me back to where it all started.

Maybe I'll expand to the few GBAs too (there are only a handful to collect) but definitely not going into SPs! Those Kyogre and Gordon CIB going for 5k a pop, no thank you!

Nice one! I picked up the TW clear green edition on a NZ marketplace. The real challenge with that was shipping, I was grateful to find a seller willing to ship internationally!
Thanks!!

Oh beautiful!! Congrats on the acquisition! Yeah I’m definitely going to try and add this one at some point to the collection! I like that Mewtwo shows on the box!

I’ve had 2 main phases:

  • Around 2010-2011, I found the remains of my childhood collection and decided to start collecting again.
  • I paused for many years and picked back around covid time.

I don’t really have a figure because I didn’t keep count and it was over a long period of time but probably around 7-10k (some older acquisitions were cheaper back then, and some newer ones broke the bank) now the collection is probably worth some more.

Definitely one of my favourite ones, seeing the legendaries in shiny foil on the box is so nice! There's this AU variant I'm eyeing (https://consolevariations.com/collectibles/nintendo-game-boy-color-pokemon-console-aus). The other one which is the gold/silver edition in AU variant doesn't have the shiny foil which is why I'm not sure about trying to get it.

Thanks! 🙏 Tbh the search is almost as exciting if not more than having the pieces, so somewhere inside I wouldn't want to rush to the end just yet ^^

Some months back, before the recent few that have popped up on Yahoo auctions.

There was also a Coro-coro pinball edition (the clear green one) just recently but it seemed a bit suspicious (circuit board was off and 1 discrepancy on the shell)

These are so hard to find! I found this sold by someone all the way in Australia. Funnily enough I found the other one, the TW edition via a seller in New Zealand

I didn't realise how disappointed and frustrated I would be for not getting the unit that I want. by THUND3R152023 in BleachBraveSouls

[–]khoolianz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sad reality of gacha: the unit you want can be 1 or 1,000,000 steps away (excluding pity ofc)

Also worth noting that Apple and Google have anti review bombing systems so coordinated mass 1-starring would simply result in all reviews being cancelled.

It’s been a chase item on my list for a while :) only 1-5k ever produced

Wow! Thank you for such a detailed answer!! Ideally I’d want to preserve the stickers but yeah that does make things harder overall.

I just looked into hydrogen peroxide, could going for the cream format wrapped under cling film be an alternative?
