A very overdue intro post and a couple of wants.
Hello! I joined this community 6 years ago and have yet to make an introduction post, so I thought it was about time I showed my collection! (Granted, I've taken a lot of big breaks in my collecting, from Feb 2011 to Feb 2014 and again from July 2014 until just recently.)
When I first started, I bought anything and everything of my favourite Pokémon that I could get my grubby hands on. After taking a break from collecting, I realised that I shouldn't just buy items unless I really like them because CHRIST are Raichu and the Eeveelutions expensive. I've since weeded out items that I don't really really love and sold them, which ended up being about a good third of my whole collection, I am now a lot pickier about what sits on my shelf.
Here's a picture of my whole shelf, close ups and more rambling under the cut.
First up is Magikarp. I adore this useless thing and it has some amazing merch, I mean just look at the ball.
Next is Raichu. My favourite Pokémon ever since I was 7 and it kicked the stuffing out of Pikachu and took the cocky little thing down a peg.
Espeon next. The coolest Pokémon in the world how could I not collect it?
And the last of my main collections is Vaporeon the beautiful mermaid.
I also have a few tiny side collections. Sylveon, Dragonite and the Meganium line. Sylveon is cute as all hell, Dragonite is amazing, Meganium is my starter in Heart Gold which is the greatest Pokémon game of all time.
Finally, a bigger shot of my whole shelf. Featuring some items from other series and a couple of pieces of Pokémon merch that I don't collect, I just really like.
While I'm here I may as well put a few wants out there! I live in the UK and shipping is a killer so my preference is UK or EU sellers (although if a seller from further away has some of the items I'm looking for, I'm not opposed just have to be careful about postage costs!).
I'm looking for a Vaporeon Pokédoll firstly. Condition doesn't matter as long as it's not a bootleg or factory reject. I have no idea how much these go for at the minute and I want to spend as little as possible, so any info on price would be appreciated!
Second is a couple of kids. I like to have kid figures of Pokémon I like and use on my team whether I collect them or not. If anyone has one of the newer Altarias, sitting Sylveon, any Dragonites that I don't have, maybe Mega Gardevoir, Braixen, or just a big ol' lot of kids for sale, hit me up! :)
Edit: I'm also looking for the newer eeveelution zukan!
Thanks for looking. I'm super excited for Pokémon Sun & Moon, I've booked that week off work and I'm getting a tattoo of Magikarp, Raichu and Espeon during that week too!
