Hello!

Hi, folks! After lurking around here for a few weeks, I've finally decided to join pkmncollectors! So it's, y'know, exciting. Anywho, I guess this'll be my intro post!

I've been a fan of the franchise since the days of Red and Blue, and subsequently played all the handheld until Black and White. Throughout my years, I've acquired a somewhat decent

haha thanks! In just about every game I've played, I've always had a Kabutops fighting alongside my starter as part of my main team haha but thanks for the welcome!

Ohhh~ Nice to see a Kabutops collector 'round here~ Kabutops is one of my favourites too~

Hehe, I think a nice piece you might wanna look out for is a Kabutops Fossil Stamper (I own one myself and it's rather cute, part of my MissingNo collection c'B )

[zaknal93]

A Kabutops Fossil Stamper, you say? Could you perchance take a picture of it, so I know what to look out for? but that sounds awesome!

[zaknal93]

that's really awesome! Does it still have ink after all these years?? I'll be sure to keep an eye out for any sales, though! thanks for the tip!

Welcome to the comm!! Kubutops scares me but it's so cool!!! I especially liked it in the Latios and Latias movie

Welcome to the community! I like collecting fossil Pokemon, and Kabutops is definitely one of my favorites. :D

The metal figure is pretty rare, so Y!J lots might be your best bet. Mini-models do pop up every now and then, so you should be able to find those soooomewhat easily. Good luck!
(Personally, I recommend getting the FC figure and fossil Retsuden stamp~ and maybe one of the dice, too, those are really cool despite their tiny size xD)

[zaknal93]

haha thanks for the welcome! But yeah, I rarely see any metal figures, and the ones that do show up aren't in the past year D: FC figure? I saw the fossil stamp earlier, and will definitely be keeping an eye out for it! As for the dice, I think I've found a yahoo japan auction for one (or at least its box) but I've no idea how to go about purchasing it haha

[aarux]

Exactly! I haven't seen one in a while... x_x
For the dice, you'll have to get a deputy service (such as Noppin, SMJ, or Treasure-Japan) to bid on it for you. (Look out for fees, though-prices jump from 100 JPY to 1000 JPY really fast!)

The FC, or "Full Color", figure is this one (pardon the dust haha):

[zaknal93]

oh whoa! That is very cool looking! and would be perfect for my little display box! Are all of the FC figures clear like that? or are most of them solid-colored and this one's special? in any case, I definitely want one of those haha

Welcome to the comm! I'm sure you'll find lots of new things for your collection here. (0^_^0)

[zaknal93]

Many thanks for the welcome! I'll definitely be keeping close watch for things to add ^_^
