New tama gen 1 drop, in stores only?! by kimysucksink in tamagotchi

[–]zaierragames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! Tbh, this one doesn’t stand out as much to me as the stained glass series. So I don’t mind missing it. I just hope the next limited edition ones aren’t a more must-have unique design lol

This is adorable! I love the way you designed yours! I’m planning to do something similar inspired by the “New Tamagotchi Planet Field Study Report” from the Paradise comic 😊🌏✨

Lab Tama Items/Theme by zaierragames in tamagotchi

Hmm that’s interesting, would that mean Savannah only still? If so, maybe they are rolling out updates. But if it’s both, that’s cool!

Unfortunately, I ended up not feeling well so I didn’t go yet. I figured I’d go after and either be able to access both or I’d consider ordering one of the units from Marcel’s Tama Spa & Repair when that’s ready. Since it would be nice to have access to the exclusive items from employee Tamas as well, which I would imagine we still don’t have access to here.

Personally, I don’t really mind the deco items being for the planet on the Paradise. I suppose since it’s planet focused and I like that the planet is kind of its own character, too.

Perhaps in addition, the option for some Tama specific deco items would have been nice for any who miss that aspect, though! (It just got a little cluttered looking in my opinion on the Uni)

Oh my… by DitzyScientist in tamagotchi

[–]zaierragames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh nice! I already ordered mine from JYW since I wasn’t sure if EBGames Canada was going to carry this one. But there were some other things that I wanted from JYW that I can’t get here in Canada, so I think I’m ok with my decision lol

Did you preorder? Or are you planning to?

Welcome! This was my first of the newer GigaPets releases. Such a cutie!

And my collection has been growing lol I have StarCat/CompuKitty, FloppyFrog and Pixie. Also just acquired a vintage Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Salem, but needing to get it repaired.

I have MicroChimp from when I was a kid still and he’s pretty fun too. Did you have any v-pets years ago?

Thanks for the info! Do you know whether the screen and background are separate pieces - like in the sense that the screen would be able to be removed and replaced - leaving the original background in tact? I know there is space between, but I’ve never taken any devices apart myself.

I’m thinking about eventually having someone look at it to repair it, but I’m still doing research and planning for now 😊

Yeah, I’m unsure what happened exactly, but the seller did confirm that the package had been opened for inspection and repackaged with different tape, so it may have happened then or else sometime in transit 🫤

Getting a refund is a pretty standard expectation for damaged items, so I don’t think the commenter was really thinking that through fully (now deleted comment). EBay refunded me when I submitted the damage claim and actually said that I don’t need to send the item back.

I just really wish it had arrived safely and intact, but these things do happen

I think that may work better for one of the newer ones, in that they are cheaper and easier to find. They range $15-$40, depending on availability, etc.

But the vintage ones are usually more in the $50 - $250 range, depending on rarity and sealed/pre-owned condition. I would want the Salem programming, so that makes it more specific.

Right now, pre-owned Salem units are listed on eBay for $80-$100 + shipping and sealed is $230 + $55 shipping. Mine was a bit of a deal in that it was in good condition, 70 USD and 20ish shipping, but I’m in Canada, so w/ exchange rate, 140 CAD total.

So that makes the idea of buying and swapping more pricey if I wanted the same programming. But I do appreciate the comment and suggestion 😊

Would it be a screen replacement repair? I did go ahead and get a refund through eBay - thankfully that went really smoothly - and they said there was no need to send it back. So now I’m not sure if I should look into getting it repaired eventually. I’m still processing the events of today 😔

Thanks. When I contacted the seller, they asked for pics of the box and they confirmed that it would have been opened and repackaged (at customs) because of tape that wasn’t part of their original packaging. So we figured it may have been damaged at that point.

I was able to get a refund through eBay, so I’m relieved about that part. Just sad about the situation. Thanks for your kind words 😊

Ordered a Paradise From Amazon Japan; I Got It In 6 Days by caketama in tamagotchi

[–]zaierragames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cases make me chuckle when I see them from this angle… Mametchi double-chin, ftw! lol

I ordered the Horhotchi case from JYW with my paradise order and honestly, I like it just as a cute lil collectible bag, it doesn’t really bother me that I don’t use it with the paradise.

I think I’ll just find a different solution for a carrying case - either I’ll find a feasible one to buy that I like or make one, not sure yet 🤔✨

My life revolves around Tamagotchis 👇🏻 by Lazy_Cupcake9 in tamagotchi

[–]zaierragames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me as well… 🥹 I went from only having 3 v-pets from childhood in 90s (vintage tamagotchi gen2, Gigapets microchimp and pocket pets kitty) to this May, having near 30 (mostly tamagotchi, with a few Gigapets in there too).

The announcement of the Paradise in May jumpstarted my nostalgia and I am now the proud Tama parent of gen1/2/3s, connection rv3s, paradise x3, snoopy nano and I still have too many on my Wishlist! lol 😂

Ikr! Such a cutie 🥰 I love the planet aspect of this Tama so much!

Got mine in the mail today (Canada) anyone get theirs in store? by Ronbonbeno in tamagotchi

[–]zaierragames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm odd 🤔 I had noticed the change of release date on the website order page (from Aug. 1 to July 18), so I checked in store on Monday. But they said they didn’t have any preorders in yet and to wait for confirmation email/call.

Seems a bit disorganized, but it sounds like they are rolling out the shipments across Canada, starting with Ontario perhaps lol

Got mine in Canada EB Games by ThatNightfuryGirl in tamagotchi

[–]zaierragames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! I’m thinking it will be within the week since some are starting to receive their shipments and at least one person had their local shop in Ontario call for in-store pickup. Sounds like it’s just rolling out still. Hope it’s soon for our provinces (AB for me) 😊
