A 10th Anniversary Celebration - My Top 10 Gets of the Last Decade!

Happy October, everybody! :D

Today is my TENTH anniversary of making my first post (it’d really be more fun to look back on if tinypic hadn’t deleted all the photos :c ) on this community! I really can’t believe it’s been that long already. I started lurking some time in 2008 and finally decided to join in October 2011, and I’m so glad I did! I’

I loved reading through this post! Reading the stories behind each of your items was so nice--especially the ones attached to your trip to Japan! I don't think that's something I'll ever get to do so reading about it was really fun :)
The PCNY statue is gorgeous. I don't remember seeing them in the store but they totally give off the vibe from when I visited! What a unique and charming collection piece.
I also always love seeing the Entei movie playset...I had the US version as a kid but now only Phanpy and Charizard remain with me :( I don't know what happened to the rest, but it was a gift from one of my uncles. Must have been lost in a move or garage sale at some point.
The dilemma about the Mystery Dungeon pre order...I got the bundle with both versions and just assumed the plush were exclusive to that set! Good to know they were with every preorder for separate versions.

This was really lovely to read through and I really enjoyed it! Thank you so much for sharing :D

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post! :D It was fun to think about those moments again.

I'm very happy to hear that the statue gives off the vibe from when you visited! PCNY must have been such a magical place.

Oh no I'm sorry the rest of your Entei movie playset is not in your collection anymore :c I'm glad Phanpy and Charizard are still with you though!

At least, that's as far as I remember! Though there was also this big bundle that looked incredible that I still have the product image of from my old family computer. I was lucky enough to get the Charizard GBA SP for Christmas the year it came out, so I didn't have a need for the big bundle, but I thought it was cool enough to save the picture haha

Thanks so much again for reading everything! :D I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

That bundle is awesome! Similarly I already had the Venusasur GBA SP so didn't need a fourth(!) system. How fortunate that you saved the picture!

[flammablelizard]

Oh wow! You had 3 GBAs, including the Venusaur one? That's awesome! :D Are your other two also special editions?

[mayziken]

I did, I had the regular red one, the special NES one (that I lost...with my Crystal in it.......D:) and the Venusaur one! So only the red one and Venusaur remain.
I didn't have any friends to trade Pokemon with growing up so I managed to get my mom to get me two systems so I could trade back and forth between my versions ;;

NOOO I'm so sorry you lost both your system and Crystal D: That must have felt awful.
Gotta be resourceful when you want to complete your Pokedex! Having multiple systems just feels cool anyway.
