Collection update and more auctions

[happyjolteon]

Hi everyone! I've been posting a lot of sales lately, so I wanted to mix things up and post some collection stuff. I do have some more eBay auctions too, though!

The auction lots have fewer pictures, so I'll put those here first...

That custom Kingdra is so cute! ~<3

Thanks! She did a great job on him. :)

Also, i didn't know Dialga had so much merch! :o
I think the only thing I've ever come across is the large 2009 Tomy figure, but he now resides in my closet.

Yep, it seems like there's almost an endless amount of merch for game mascots! So far I have over 700 items, and some of those are flats but most of them aren't. I don't even collect most Dialga/Palkia items, that's just Dialga alone!

Lovely Kingdra plush!!! Catherine always makes the cutest plush....he looks so awesome and seems like he'll fit in nicely with all of the other dragons :D Also congrats on obtaining so many mini model colors, they're so hard to find for me, haha. Oh, I saw some Seviper Tretta on Y!J last night, and I've never seen them before. I'm so curious about their origin/what company made them/etc.

Thanks! Yeah, most of the mini model colors are really hard to find, I've just been slowly finding single ones here and there over the years.

As I understand it, Tretta are the successor to Battrio, and are used in their own arcade games:

It seems that by playing with them, you can capture other Pokemon and get their disks from the machine. This is different from the way Battrio used to work, where you paid a few hundred yen and got a random disc that may or may not be a rare one.
Since you need at least one puck to play, I guess you'd have to either buy one used somewhere, or buy one of the kits (like the Eevee kit I was selling recently) to use as a starter pack.

Since you seemed to have gathered quite a lot of gen 2 battle coins in one place, can I ask if you've ever seen an Umbreon one?

Additionally, I noticed that you have the Zoroark pressed penny in your collection. Have you ever come across the second version?

[happyjolteon]

I don't recall seeing an Umbreon, sorry! An Umbreon collector would probably know more about it.

I haven't come across a second press penny, but then I haven't really been looking - I got almost all of my Zoroarks during the Zoroark movie promotion (2010?), and didn't get much of anything on auction sites after that.

Ah, alright. Thank you ^^
