another 6 months of gets with lati, lugia, weavile, ninetales & more...also what is this lugia??
It's that time for a 6 monthly gets purchase...again! Seriously 6 months seems to fly by sometimes you wonder where the days have gone.. ahem! Anyhoo I want to do something special for next year in March I just hope I can clean my room and get everything the way I want it (it's...a little messy right now hehe...)
It's also my birthday on the 20th December (yes yes christmas child ehe...) so I'm hoping to scratch some things off my wanted list below! ^^
Welp hello to anyone new or doesn't know me! I'm known as Latios/Lati/Latte/Soital/Soi/Moo and many other things and my main collections are Latios, Latias, Lugia, Weavile & Ninetales. I also have many side collections which are; Leafeon, Jolteon, Haunter, Houndoom, Mismagius, Zangoose, Salamence, Absol, Lopunny, Skarmory! Also other mini collections like Miltank, Glameow, Zorua, Vulpix, Fennekin Line & Meowstic.
This time I was able to get a number of long awaited wants! See through the cut below what I got in 6 months~
Latias & Latios - [ Main Collection ]
Pictured: Latias & Latios 2015 TOMY Plush, Lati UFO Banpresto Catcher, Latias & Latios MPC Plush
Starting with the plush! Got myself up to date with these guys when they came out of course! I really love the TOMY plush they're just beautiful! Really impressed with them x3 No more Latias or Latios plush are announced as of yet but that's alright, I'm just happy they got such a generous amount of new plush! <3~ I ended up with two of the Latios UFO ones... I read an auction wrong orz.
Pictured: Pokedoll Pokemon Center Latias & Latios Tin, Pokemon Advanced Tin feat. Latis, Latios Binder, Pins, Ramen Stickers, Pans, Envelopes, Waps, Altomare Coin, Mood Coin
TINS! Really really cool tins and I was so happy about them! This Pokedoll tin appeared literally 5 months ago and I was so hyped! It went for a hefty price but it has appeared a lot often after I won mine which just goes to show things always appear again ;u;! The Advanced tin was a lucky find on eBay, I was just browsing random stuff and bumped into it...didn't know about it but yay surprises?! The card holder featuring Latios/Espeon was actually a funny story, I only recently won this one. I found a binder of that exact artwork on eBay a few months back but the seller never responded to me about shipping overseas... so I couldn't bid just incase it sucked! (It seems to be a recurring thing on eBay these days ;u;) Having the card holder is cool though and I'm happy to own one piece of the set ^^ <3
Pictured: CoroCoro 2002 Lati Pages, Latios Gachapon Machine Figure, Spanish Pogs, Pokepark Drawstring Bag, Pokepark Latios and Latias Mug / Cup, Gold Latias Metal, Pokepark Coaster, Game pieces and Pogs
Okay so first is the pokepark drawstring and mug.... I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THEM FOR SO SO MANY YEARS AND I AM JUST SO HAPPY to finally grab them ;u; <3 I remember watching auctions when I was in my early years of browsing online and I remember a mug/drawstring bag being sold together...these weren't and they were super expensive as I guessed but argh I don't care... ;u; they're really beautiful and I would reccomend ANY Lati collector to grab them! ^^ <3
Managed to grab another metal... I'm slowly getting there! Woop! Thanks to swampeh who pointed out the auction to me <3 Found a Latios Gachaaapon... I was holding this off actually for a while.. I have no idea why but he was being sold for weeks! Decided to grab him and reunited him with Latias!

A really neat find is that yellow backing mobile! I've been thinking about opening it up and hanging it but I'd need some yellow string! I found it so unqiue and I don't really recall this at all! There are also TCG binders from Ex Dragon... I think I know where two others are being sold, they have Absol and Rayquaza I think on the back of them :3
Yipeee finally got my most favourite Lati cards ever! Decent priced too! ^^

All these things are really cool! I absolutely love the scratch card I think it's a pretty neat find and it was also pretty cheap! Looks like someone had a bunch of pages from old days and decided to sell them, yay! The 2004 Calender is seriously cool...I bumped into a 2005 one once but I lost the bid, that one went pretty high but this memo pad was decent! It has various pages of Pokemon like Absol, Suicune etc... I can photo some that may be interested in looking out for them but only the back images, I don't want to open it at the moment! The meiji tin was somehting I was hoping to win on Y!J but cancelled my bid when some ultimate grails popped up! Didn't win them and suddenly the meiji tin was for auction here...really uncanny talk about second chances! :3
Recently found a bunch of sticket sheets someone was selling, I don't usually like cut up sticker sheets and prefer to find the full sheet, I got some doubles of the Pokeparks so I should be selling some in the distant future :3~ Oh that large Lati leaflet on the right hand side has the ghibli movie The Cat Returns on it as well...a movie I really enjoyed! ^^ <3

Mega Lati's! There's a sure buttload of stuff to find...some keychains of Latias & Latios I managed to find, there is a Lugia version of this I would love to own! ^^ Food items are always cool and hard to find eventually ;u; Horray for getting all the metal coins! It wasn't too bad to find since not many people collect the Mega Lati's x3!
Pictured: XY Mega Lati Mega Evolution Bags, Movie 18 Towels, Deco Chara, Stationary, AG Paper Aeroplane & Various World 2015 Merch.
Some bags I randomly found and more movie 18th merch...! Still haven't watched that movie...need to... and eyy of course the World's Merch would feature Mega Latios! Great! These were a pretty penny but I got a good haul, I don't think I got everything though I still think there's a pouch to find! Latios TCG tin that is being sold over here was gifted to me =,D <3 It's so cool to see Latios things being sold over here in the shops....even if it is just cards again!
More Lati stuff! I'll feel like I'm talking waaay too much but you can see better pictures on my website! :3
Lugia - [Main Collection ]
Pictured: Banpresto Flying 2009 UFO "Blue Tag" Regular Lugia Plush, Lugia Shopper, Lugia MPC Plush, Lugia Fingerpuppet, Lugia Socks, Gum, Badge, Pogs, TOMY Pearly Figure, Chupa, New Kid, Lugia Retsuden Stamp, Lugia M18 Towel, Rubber Cleaner Strap, Postcard, Booklet, Pencilcap and Various Lugia cards!
I managed to get a good haul of Lugia stuff the past 6 months! My last gets weren't as much as I thought so I imagine some improving/focus was needed on the lovely Lugia :3~ The shopper was really cool and gifted by riolu ;U; thank you so much! It'll fit so nicely in my collection! x3 Grabbed a retsuden stamper! I think I have... 3/4 of the guys now? Just need to get the last blue one! :3 The pearly TOMY Lugia figure was a trade with docgerbilsworld thank you so much, I will really cherish him, he looks so cool x3 Food items are always a blast, Lugia got some candy food I managed to buy, yay! Then some Movie 18 merch came out like the rubber strap, it's the only one I've seen for sale on Y!J/Pkmncollectors so I wonder why they seem so scarce... I'd love to see the full set! =w=!
There's also a Movie 18 charm of Lugia with their type symbols that I'm on the look out for but they seem to be hard to find! Managed to get the Latis/Braixen but that was by pure luck x3
Also the Banpresto flying plush... I do already have one but that's where the Lugia question lies...
So about that Lugia question...
WHAT is this?! I was linked to a Lugia plush auction kindly by lulupin a while ago. As Lugia collectors may know there is a larger 35cm version of this plush, won in the lotto only in 2009 and there's only 50 ever in existence so it is a uber grail for me, it also has a small blue tag on it so when I saw the blue tag in the auction I was flipping all over!! x3 I already own the smaller version so lets try get this!
Needless to say I looked at the auction image again and inspected it more...then doubts started drifting over. I had already won this plush by the time (for starting bid so it's no loss) and there was nothing to go off in the picture that would give me an accurate height of the plush, the back of the plush looked more like it's bigger version but that blue tag...it's bigger than what the larger one has, but why is it blue?! I have never heard of this plush being re-made or re-released so curiosity has been feeding off me for ages! Take a look below;
The blue tag Lugia on the left is a lot more plushy looking and imo takes after the larger version more, he is more floppy and cuddly in a way? Meanwhile the green tag is a lot more firm and in place, the wings don't droop and they're in line with each other. The blue tags face also seems to be more "out" than the green.
I thought I was going crazy as they are technically the same plush so yes I guess similar stitching and maybe small differences would occur but I've been trying to think of all possibiltiies. There was no bootlegs of this Lugia plush, was this a re-release? But I've never heard of it being re-released! Was the blue tag maybe a plush that was being handed out // in the machines during the time the Lotto Lugia was there? Maybe the green tag Lugia UFO's were put into the machines afterwards? I don't image the blue tag to be a prototype of some sort yet he is definitely more similar to the larger one, just a small version....so many questions. Another idea was that maybe the tag had just been sun bleached but if that's the case wouldn't that have also affected the plush? @u@
I pulled the strings as far as each would go...it seems that the blue tag (right) has a longer string than the green!
I also propped them up on the eeveelu necklace boxes and it also seems blue tag has a fatter belly than the green! It was a lot easier to balance the blue tag than the green!
Here is a major difference, the wings flop on the left (blue) just like the larger version and is overall more plush like, the green tag has a firmer hold on him with his wings propped up like he is soaring through the air.
The tags for closer inspection. They seem to be the same but of different colours! If anyone knows anything about these guys please let me know! 2009 was one of the years I was away on a huge hiatus from spending which I kinda regret at times because that was such a big time for Lugia and so many rare plush were at least avaliable for a chance or two to get ;u; If anyone has any information or heck even to speculate with me would be awesome! x3 <3
Weavile - [ Main Collection ]
Pictured: Weavile Worlds 2009 Binder, Pokken Bana Passport, Hitachi NFS Uplink Flag, Weavile TOMY Pose Magnet Figure, TOMY Keychains, TOMY Pokeball Weavile Watch, Weavile Rubex Cube, Weavile Crayon, Weavile Swing Charm, Weavile Can Badge, Weavile Pop Out Magnet, Star shaped Gachapon pins, Weavile Pogs, Spanish pogs, Weavile Movie Clear Strap, Jakks Marbel, Weavile Pokemon Center Drawstring Bags, Weavile Bento & Chopsticks, Weavile Pokedoll Chopsticks, Movie 8 Keychain, Custom Weavile Patch.
Okay wow I am so proud of what I found for Weavile over the last few months! First thing I'll talk about is the uplink flag! So riolu kindly linked me an auction for 3 uplink flags that I am assuming were used at promotions somewhere in Japan. One of the flags had a Weavile and they were so unqiue I had to bid! I ended up winning them I was really happy! ^w^
So...I NEVER KNEW THEY WERE THE SIZE OF A DOOR. Seriously and really silky as well they're so amazingly cool! I just have one problem...where the heck am I going to put this?! XD I do want it near my Weavile shelf (which is now full Weavile since the last time I posted instead of half Weavile and Ninetales) I might sell the other two...it has none of the Pokemon I'm interested in but...we'll see!
Okay enough about the flag...now I can't believe I managed to get the POKEBALL WEAVILE WATCH squeeee! It was one of my most wanted Weavile items!! I was searching through Y!J auctions like normal and found a lot of stuff ending in less than 2 days too! I stared at the lot for ages and there were a loads of Pokeballs with string attached to them in the back...closed...of course. However I know that great ball's look from anywhere plus it had red string PLUS it was with other Pokeballs that looked like they might be Lucario/Mew versions (I've been searching for this dang thing for ages I've bumped into 1 Mew and a couple of Lucarios but never a Weavile!) so I INSTANTLY DID THE BID knowing that this was a chance to get the Weavile watch...I won the lot for a great price too and will probably be auctioning/selling some of these up at a later date! There are Latias and Latios versions of these watches that I'm also really looking out for!
Also got a magnet Weavile figure! I would love to find a base to give him, even if it was Mews/Lucarios etc I'd kick them off and give it Weavile, so if anyone has a spare base for the magnet figures I'd love to buy! Really happy about the Can badge as well, I was diving in the deep end of searches on Y!J and I found a lot, did an imaginary back flip when I saw them and managed to get them, yay! ^^ It's pretty cool they have a backing with their image at the back! Funny story was the pog under it was from a game I thought that might have been the can badge but it seems not >u>! (the image was really blurry for that orange Weavile pog, I had to guess if it was a Weavile or not, my luck played out!) Major thanks to riolu again for linking me these Weavile Drawstring bags...oh gosh I fell in love with them the moment I saw them! My bid was cancelled at first but thankfully no one bidded so they were relisted...phew! x3
Pictured: Pokedoll Weavile Underlay, Weavile M8 Bags, Weavile AG Puzzle, Sleeves.
One of the other major gets for me that I didn't know about was the Weavile puzzle. HE IS JUGGLING WHY IS THAT ADORABLE. I thought this was really cool...I saw the auction and the first image that you usually see when browsing just had an underlay with Weavile on it (I forgot to picture) but nothing stood out a lot, I noticed it had a second picture when I clicked into the auction and...bam. The full image of a puzzle with Weavy on it...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. x3! I must find a place for the puzzle (and the others!) but Weavile is turning out to be an overflow of stuff like Lugia & Latis..oh dear! x)
Pictured: Various Weavile flats from sticker sheets, bromides, ramen sticker, pokedex pages, kid flats! Pokedoll Weavile sticker sheet!
More glorious Weavy flats! Oddly enough the kid flats have always been slow to get but I managed to get them, seriously awesome! WE HAVE ANOTHER SPARKLY POKEDOLL STICKER SHEET and this time it's Weavile! I bought a lot of sticker sheets just recently and didn't even notice that small Weavy Pokedoll on there...and the rest we have Chatot, Lucario, Piplup and Aipom with Christmas hats on...everything is really cute. ;u;
Ninetales - [ Main Collection ]
Pictured: Ninetales & Vulpix PC Plush, Ninetales Silver & Gold Coins, In Case Ninetales Figure, Purple Metal Ninetales, Ramen sticker, Lenticular Ninetales, Large Ninetales Pogs & Flats
Okay so as soon as I posted 6 months ago with gets...weeks later NINETALES PLUSH ANNOUNCED. PRAISE EVERYTHING. She finally got her MUCH WELL DESERVED PLUSH! Woohooo!!! x3 Hope to see ones in the future maybe a cute little MPC or something x3! Yay for the In-case figure! I was so happy to finally own one and with a cool background too! I'm looking out for two more of these figures, I think I have the cases so just the figures would be awesome! Metal Ninetales... TWO of these babies appeared at the same time and I didn;t know which lot to go for as they both ended near enough the same time as each other ;_;! Thankfully a GA was being made on this very community so I was able to win the Gunmetal Ninetales as well! I can't wait until she arrives to my house! x3! Purple is an amazing colour to find her though and I'm so happy! I used to keep looking at all these metal lots for Ninetales metal colours I don't have and I'd always see one I already have..I would LOVE to own all the colours of my mains in metals!
TRADES? Metal Ninetales Bronze avaliable to trade for any colour other than:
+ Purple I have now! (and hopefully Gunmetal when it arrives will update the picture on my website when the gunmetal arrives!)
I do have a spare bronze Ninetales metal figure, looking to trade for any other Ninetales metal figure colour I don't have!

Pictured: Leafeon Canvas, Jolteon Canbas, I <3 Eevee Jolteon & Leafeon Plush, Leafeon and Jolteon Silver Necklaces, Blue Jolteon Metal Figure & Jolteon pog.
I've been picky with side collections recently, especially with the eeveelus. Gorgeous Plush! I also got the sleepy/lying Jolty plushes but I didn't fancxy taking them off the shelf yet XD!
I ordered the expensive necklaces, silver looked the nicest and will do fine with me, I prefer silver over gold anyway!
Ooh and a pog and metal figure I found in some of the lots, my first metal figure of Jolteon ever too! Ones that always pop up are always expensive so I'm glad to grab a cool colour :3~
Absol & Skarmory - [Side Collection]
Pictured: Absol & Skarmory featured AG puzzle, Absol Movie Pen, Absol flats, Absol Silver Minicot, Absol WAPS, Mega Absol Rice Seasoning, Skarmory Charm, SKarmory VS and Absol 6th Movie Poster
Okay not much of these two which is the usual kinda but what I got I'm really happy about! I was scanning around for the silver Absol minicot and found it in a lot really cheap! I now don't have to look high and low for one of these babies yay! Some various pogs I got ina lot and a Skarmory VS I never knew existed! One of my top 5 wants of Absol was the pen and poster and I can't believe I got them! The pen went for a big price (sorry to anyone who was bidding against me) and there was a bunch of Absol items that just appeared one day, my main focus was this pen though and I'm glad I can scratch it off the list, it goes really well with the Latias and Latios soul dew pens ^^! The puzzle I lost to a couple of times but that was out of sheer laziness (I didn't bid much) but found it again on a site for around 300 yen cheap! x3!
The poster is something I'm really proud of finding, I was on yet another deep search of mystery (I have spells of these, not all the time as they take ages!) and stumbled upon a listing that mention the Jirachi Wishmaker movie...not tagged as Absol so I'm guessing that's why it was still for sale... EEP. Bought as quick as possible x) IT IS HUGE and I really kinda wanna move my shelves around for Absol so that the poser can be above it's shelf but... I'm not sure...I like how my Absols & Salamences are for the time being... but this wasn't on Y!J so there was no fees and the like, I found it on eBay =,D! You never know what you can find!
Haunter, Mismagius, Lopunny & Miltank - [Side Collection]
Pictured: Haunter/Gengar Windchime, Dark Purple Haunter Metal Figure, Mismagischu Plush, Pin and Charms, Mismagius Rubber Charm, Mega Lopunny Rice Seasoning Pakcet and ANA Card, Miltank Can Badge, Miltank In-Case Figure.
I am proud to say I have found shelf space for my Haunter and Miltanks (and others!) I got a new shelf the past few month ago and they've worked wonders! I am so so happy about adding to my moo moo collection as I'd love more things of Miltank, it's just there's scarce things or such x) ! The can badge went really cheap to my surprise and I'm over the moon to have it! Mismagius is a Pokemon that if it didn't have the halloween promotion I'd have nothing the past 6 months of her D:! Scary! I aim to get at least 1 thing of my sides every 6 months but I have had to cut down on sides due to money... ;u;

Pictured: Salamence Puchi Character, Mega Salamence Metals, Salamence Coins, Zangoose Retsuden Stamp, Zangoose Pogs! Fennekin cards, Fennekin chocolate, Braixen Chewing Gum, Rice Seasoning Packet, Battle Wheel, Charms, Tags, Fennekin Line Badge.
Salamence PUCHI argh finally this guy has been annoying to get! Some popped up overpriced, others popped up (including their clear versions!) but the user didn't want a middleman to bid on them @w@ but I'm glad to see at least one version in my hands... also THEY'RE SO TINY. Really tiny. orz I imagined them a tiny bit more bigger but it's fine! Salamence coins were something I was on the look out for, so shiny and beautiful! ^^!
ZANGOOSE RETSUDEN AAAAAA YAY! I was retsuden stamp hunting for a long time for the ones I am missing and this is one of the stamps I've really been wanting! Lopunny..one day Absol & Haunter one day... Ninetales if there is one... the other Weavile and Mismagius... ONE DAY x) I'm slowly getting there!
Gee I remember when the Fennekin line was busting with merchandise now I've really tonned down on it, there's a few items I really wouldn't mind owning I just haven't really properly looked into them D:!
Still I love the chocolates and chewing gum stuff! x3

My last gets weren't as much as I thought so I imagine some improving/focus was needed on the lovely Lugia :3~ The shopper was really cool and gifted by riolu ;U; thank you so much! It'll fit so nicely in my collection! x3 Grabbed a retsuden stamper! I think I have... 3/4 of the guys now? Just need to get the last blue one! :3 The pearly TOMY Lugia figure was a trade with docgerbilsworld thank you so much, I will really cherish him, he looks so cool x3 Food items are always a blast, Lugia got some candy food I managed to buy, yay! Then some Movie 18 merch came out like the rubber strap, it's the only one I've seen for sale on Y!J/Pkmncollectors so I wonder why they seem so scarce... I'd love to see the full set! =w=!
There's also a Movie 18 charm of Lugia with their type symbols that I'm on the look out for but they seem to be hard to find! Managed to get the Latis/Braixen but that was by pure luck x3
Also the Banpresto flying plush... I do already have one but that's where the Lugia question lies...
So about that Lugia question...
WHAT is this?! I was linked to a Lugia plush auction kindly by lulupin a while ago. As Lugia collectors may know there is a larger 35cm version of this plush, won in the lotto only in 2009 and there's only 50 ever in existence so it is a uber grail for me, it also has a small blue tag on it so when I saw the blue tag in the auction I was flipping all over!! x3 I already own the smaller version so lets try get this!
Needless to say I looked at the auction image again and inspected it more...then doubts started drifting over. I had already won this plush by the time (for starting bid so it's no loss) and there was nothing to go off in the picture that would give me an accurate height of the plush, the back of the plush looked more like it's bigger version but that blue tag...it's bigger than what the larger one has, but why is it blue?! I have never heard of this plush being re-made or re-released so curiosity has been feeding off me for ages! Take a look below;
The blue tag Lugia on the left is a lot more plushy looking and imo takes after the larger version more, he is more floppy and cuddly in a way? Meanwhile the green tag is a lot more firm and in place, the wings don't droop and they're in line with each other. The blue tags face also seems to be more "out" than the green.
I thought I was going crazy as they are technically the same plush so yes I guess similar stitching and maybe small differences would occur but I've been trying to think of all possibiltiies. There was no bootlegs of this Lugia plush, was this a re-release? But I've never heard of it being re-released! Was the blue tag maybe a plush that was being handed out // in the machines during the time the Lotto Lugia was there? Maybe the green tag Lugia UFO's were put into the machines afterwards? I don't image the blue tag to be a prototype of some sort yet he is definitely more similar to the larger one, just a small version....so many questions. Another idea was that maybe the tag had just been sun bleached but if that's the case wouldn't that have also affected the plush? @u@
I pulled the strings as far as each would go...it seems that the blue tag (right) has a longer string than the green!
I also propped them up on the eeveelu necklace boxes and it also seems blue tag has a fatter belly than the green! It was a lot easier to balance the blue tag than the green!
Here is a major difference, the wings flop on the left (blue) just like the larger version and is overall more plush like, the green tag has a firmer hold on him with his wings propped up like he is soaring through the air.
The tags for closer inspection. They seem to be the same but of different colours! If anyone knows anything about these guys please let me know! 2009 was one of the years I was away on a huge hiatus from spending which I kinda regret at times because that was such a big time for Lugia and so many rare plush were at least avaliable for a chance or two to get ;u; If anyone has any information or heck even to speculate with me would be awesome! x3 <3

Okay wow I am so proud of what I found for Weavile over the last few months! First thing I'll talk about is the uplink flag! So riolu kindly linked me an auction for 3 uplink flags that I am assuming were used at promotions somewhere in Japan. One of the flags had a Weavile and they were so unqiue I had to bid! I ended up winning them I was really happy! ^w^
So...I NEVER KNEW THEY WERE THE SIZE OF A DOOR. Seriously and really silky as well they're so amazingly cool! I just have one problem...where the heck am I going to put this?! XD I do want it near my Weavile shelf (which is now full Weavile since the last time I posted instead of half Weavile and Ninetales) I might sell the other two...it has none of the Pokemon I'm interested in but...we'll see!
Okay enough about the flag...now I can't believe I managed to get the POKEBALL WEAVILE WATCH squeeee! It was one of my most wanted Weavile items!! I was searching through Y!J auctions like normal and found a lot of stuff ending in less than 2 days too! I stared at the lot for ages and there were a loads of Pokeballs with string attached to them in the back...closed...of course. However I know that great ball's look from anywhere plus it had red string PLUS it was with other Pokeballs that looked like they might be Lucario/Mew versions (I've been searching for this dang thing for ages I've bumped into 1 Mew and a couple of Lucarios but never a Weavile!) so I INSTANTLY DID THE BID knowing that this was a chance to get the Weavile watch...I won the lot for a great price too and will probably be auctioning/selling some of these up at a later date! There are Latias and Latios versions of these watches that I'm also really looking out for!
Also got a magnet Weavile figure! I would love to find a base to give him, even if it was Mews/Lucarios etc I'd kick them off and give it Weavile, so if anyone has a spare base for the magnet figures I'd love to buy! Really happy about the Can badge as well, I was diving in the deep end of searches on Y!J and I found a lot, did an imaginary back flip when I saw them and managed to get them, yay! ^^ It's pretty cool they have a backing with their image at the back! Funny story was the pog under it was from a game I thought that might have been the can badge but it seems not >u>! (the image was really blurry for that orange Weavile pog, I had to guess if it was a Weavile or not, my luck played out!) Major thanks to riolu again for linking me these Weavile Drawstring bags...oh gosh I fell in love with them the moment I saw them! My bid was cancelled at first but thankfully no one bidded so they were relisted...phew! x3
Pictured: Pokedoll Weavile Underlay, Weavile M8 Bags, Weavile AG Puzzle, Sleeves.
One of the other major gets for me that I didn't know about was the Weavile puzzle. HE IS JUGGLING WHY IS THAT ADORABLE. I thought this was really cool...I saw the auction and the first image that you usually see when browsing just had an underlay with Weavile on it (I forgot to picture) but nothing stood out a lot, I noticed it had a second picture when I clicked into the auction and...bam. The full image of a puzzle with Weavy on it...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. x3! I must find a place for the puzzle (and the others!) but Weavile is turning out to be an overflow of stuff like Lugia & Latis..oh dear! x)
Pictured: Various Weavile flats from sticker sheets, bromides, ramen sticker, pokedex pages, kid flats! Pokedoll Weavile sticker sheet!
More glorious Weavy flats! Oddly enough the kid flats have always been slow to get but I managed to get them, seriously awesome! WE HAVE ANOTHER SPARKLY POKEDOLL STICKER SHEET and this time it's Weavile! I bought a lot of sticker sheets just recently and didn't even notice that small Weavy Pokedoll on there...and the rest we have Chatot, Lucario, Piplup and Aipom with Christmas hats on...everything is really cute. ;u;
Ninetales - [ Main Collection ]
Pictured: Ninetales & Vulpix PC Plush, Ninetales Silver & Gold Coins, In Case Ninetales Figure, Purple Metal Ninetales, Ramen sticker, Lenticular Ninetales, Large Ninetales Pogs & Flats
Okay so as soon as I posted 6 months ago with gets...weeks later NINETALES PLUSH ANNOUNCED. PRAISE EVERYTHING. She finally got her MUCH WELL DESERVED PLUSH! Woohooo!!! x3 Hope to see ones in the future maybe a cute little MPC or something x3! Yay for the In-case figure! I was so happy to finally own one and with a cool background too! I'm looking out for two more of these figures, I think I have the cases so just the figures would be awesome! Metal Ninetales... TWO of these babies appeared at the same time and I didn;t know which lot to go for as they both ended near enough the same time as each other ;_;! Thankfully a GA was being made on this very community so I was able to win the Gunmetal Ninetales as well! I can't wait until she arrives to my house! x3! Purple is an amazing colour to find her though and I'm so happy! I used to keep looking at all these metal lots for Ninetales metal colours I don't have and I'd always see one I already have..I would LOVE to own all the colours of my mains in metals!
TRADES? Metal Ninetales Bronze avaliable to trade for any colour other than:
+ Purple I have now! (and hopefully Gunmetal when it arrives will update the picture on my website when the gunmetal arrives!)
I do have a spare bronze Ninetales metal figure, looking to trade for any other Ninetales metal figure colour I don't have!

Pictured: Leafeon Canvas, Jolteon Canbas, I <3 Eevee Jolteon & Leafeon Plush, Leafeon and Jolteon Silver Necklaces, Blue Jolteon Metal Figure & Jolteon pog.
I've been picky with side collections recently, especially with the eeveelus. Gorgeous Plush! I also got the sleepy/lying Jolty plushes but I didn't fancxy taking them off the shelf yet XD!
I ordered the expensive necklaces, silver looked the nicest and will do fine with me, I prefer silver over gold anyway!
Ooh and a pog and metal figure I found in some of the lots, my first metal figure of Jolteon ever too! Ones that always pop up are always expensive so I'm glad to grab a cool colour :3~
Absol & Skarmory - [Side Collection]
Pictured: Absol & Skarmory featured AG puzzle, Absol Movie Pen, Absol flats, Absol Silver Minicot, Absol WAPS, Mega Absol Rice Seasoning, Skarmory Charm, SKarmory VS and Absol 6th Movie Poster
Okay not much of these two which is the usual kinda but what I got I'm really happy about! I was scanning around for the silver Absol minicot and found it in a lot really cheap! I now don't have to look high and low for one of these babies yay! Some various pogs I got ina lot and a Skarmory VS I never knew existed! One of my top 5 wants of Absol was the pen and poster and I can't believe I got them! The pen went for a big price (sorry to anyone who was bidding against me) and there was a bunch of Absol items that just appeared one day, my main focus was this pen though and I'm glad I can scratch it off the list, it goes really well with the Latias and Latios soul dew pens ^^! The puzzle I lost to a couple of times but that was out of sheer laziness (I didn't bid much) but found it again on a site for around 300 yen cheap! x3!
The poster is something I'm really proud of finding, I was on yet another deep search of mystery (I have spells of these, not all the time as they take ages!) and stumbled upon a listing that mention the Jirachi Wishmaker movie...not tagged as Absol so I'm guessing that's why it was still for sale... EEP. Bought as quick as possible x) IT IS HUGE and I really kinda wanna move my shelves around for Absol so that the poser can be above it's shelf but... I'm not sure...I like how my Absols & Salamences are for the time being... but this wasn't on Y!J so there was no fees and the like, I found it on eBay =,D! You never know what you can find!

Pictured: Haunter/Gengar Windchime, Dark Purple Haunter Metal Figure, Mismagischu Plush, Pin and Charms, Mismagius Rubber Charm, Mega Lopunny Rice Seasoning Pakcet and ANA Card, Miltank Can Badge, Miltank In-Case Figure.
I am proud to say I have found shelf space for my Haunter and Miltanks (and others!) I got a new shelf the past few month ago and they've worked wonders! I am so so happy about adding to my moo moo collection as I'd love more things of Miltank, it's just there's scarce things or such x) ! The can badge went really cheap to my surprise and I'm over the moon to have it! Mismagius is a Pokemon that if it didn't have the halloween promotion I'd have nothing the past 6 months of her D:! Scary! I aim to get at least 1 thing of my sides every 6 months but I have had to cut down on sides due to money... ;u;

Salamence PUCHI argh finally this guy has been annoying to get! Some popped up overpriced, others popped up (including their clear versions!) but the user didn't want a middleman to bid on them @w@ but I'm glad to see at least one version in my hands... also THEY'RE SO TINY. Really tiny. orz I imagined them a tiny bit more bigger but it's fine! Salamence coins were something I was on the look out for, so shiny and beautiful! ^^!
ZANGOOSE RETSUDEN AAAAAA YAY! I was retsuden stamp hunting for a long time for the ones I am missing and this is one of the stamps I've really been wanting! Lopunny..one day Absol & Haunter one day... Ninetales if there is one... the other Weavile and Mismagius... ONE DAY x) I'm slowly getting there!
Gee I remember when the Fennekin line was busting with merchandise now I've really tonned down on it, there's a few items I really wouldn't mind owning I just haven't really properly looked into them D:!
Still I love the chocolates and chewing gum stuff! x3
