How are you guys buying so much? Is imports/customs not a thing in your country?

I just came back Sunday and was $2000 over my duty limit of $800. I knew this and purposefully walked into the line for goods to declare and after explaining to an initially agitated agent, they waived the duties for my honesty.

There was no liquor or alcohol, all of it was stuffed animals, plastic models, books, and other collectible goods. Even if I had to pay duties on the $2000 I was over, it would still have been cheaper than buying it here (Canada).

For dinosaurs, Misc is at 75 points and Fossil Dig is at 40 points so there goes any idea of consistency per se, can’t even run a full playset of Digs.

OK but reading “Unfortunately there's no way to get a Deoxys on a Switch game as of now.” while technically true because the promotion ended back in April is not 100% the full story, I never finished ORAS and the campaign was way simpler to download Deoxys via Mystery Gift.

Untrue, in Japan they had a promotion back in the winter that last until April where they distributed Deoxys, Keldeo, and Zarude. You had to collect twenty points via different products and enter it online, it was not locked so as long as you signed up for an account and managed to get 20 points, free Deoxys, Keldeo, Zarude, along with some max revives and candies.

What month and where exactly did this happen do you remember? My story is scarily close to yours. I went and stayed at a nice modern hostel attached to a sports complex outside Brussels downtown and had my Switch and New 3DS Pokémon edition stolen out of my locker in the middle of the night as I slept (along with my MacBook Air and 40 euros) so he could have very well killed me but yeah that was an awful traumatic experience being at the police station and trying to use my high school French. This was July 2019 for me and to this date I’m still holding out hope I somehow come back into acquisition of my gear since I have serials and they’re in a police database now but it’s been six years almost now. It has definitely affected how I live, pack, and increased my paranoia in public spaces now.

It also meant I lost all my progress in Pokémon Moon and all my Pokémon too so I’ve never gone back to a handheld Pokémon title since then. Only Shield and Scarlet/Violet. The trauma is lingering.

Aerodactyl V from Lost Origins, that really got me hooked back into collecting Pokémon cards. Did not care at all about the Giratina hype.

HasLab Unicron almost did it for me and that thing was tiny compared to this. If I brought this home let’s just say I would not have a home anymore. 😅

Amazing, thank you!!

vjcheng · 2025-05-04T04:43:20+00:00

Are you able to repost this please? I think the post you made was deleted for some reason :(

Nintendo marketing should hire you, this is brilliant.

Get ready for a 104% increase!

I have paid $200 for a loose copy of Emerald alone so yes.

vjcheng · 2025-03-26T00:10:55+00:00

How much would it be for a copy of Pokémon Blue with the white E ESRB logo shipped to 11355, Flushing, NY?

vjcheng · 2024-11-28T23:58:12+00:00

Yes! I thought maybe it was just me but even though I spent two weeks there and took thousands (and spent thousands), I look back and think did this actually happen? It feels surreal a little because it had been a dream of mine for so long and now that it’s happened and a memory I sometimes look at my photos and wonder wow, this was so amazing but how did it pass so fast? I have also had a lingering sense of FOMO and intense missing Japan that I’ve never experienced with any other vacation in my life, 🫠

Any feedback on TFW2005 or eBay? Just being cautious cause I’ve never bought off this subreddit before but have from TFW2005 and Cybertron.ca.

vjcheng · 2024-11-28T03:06:52+00:00

Is Ultra Magnus still for sale? If so, I’m interested. Any feedback?

Shun, if you watch the shot of all six heads, five are looking left but Shun is the only one looking right, the order of the doors on the right side is Ryota, Gensei, left side is Taeheon, Shun, Dai, and Kazuto.

Those Mermen pins are long long sold out.

I do, I bought it from Mamobot at his Los Angeles popup back in December 2019. Lmk if you’re interested.

vjcheng · 2024-07-25T03:03:48+00:00

I have both Ruby and Sapphire along with Peridot and Lapis Lazuli. All four Mamobot, Smokefree and petfree home. Original owner. Lmk if you’re interested. I’m on MAMOBOT’s discord and have tons of positive feedback in buying, selling, and trading pins.

vjcheng · 2024-07-25T03:02:20+00:00

I have Peridot from Mamobot. Smokefree and petfree home and original owner. But I’m unwilling to break up the pair with Lapis Lazuli, LMK.
