A GRAIL, A GRAIL.

[herar]

I haven't had a whole lot of items i considered a grail - but this is definitely one of them! There have been several Groudon items I have been looking for, for -years- and most of them are such weird/obscure things I have little hope of finding them...But after some vague searches, one of them fell into my hands.

Oh MAN I didn't know this existed oh jeez it's great ;-;
I collect magma/aqua and kyogre/groudon and I feel ya on things being darn hard to find but congrats on the grail get!!

[herar]

it's for real awesome!
while i wish i could collect Kyogre too sometimes, i really like getting merch with these 2 together, makes me feel like i sort of have a mini collection of it. XD

[magmanerd]

ahah aww
Kyogre is such a cute silly whale :')
It's suuuper hard to find old magma/aqua things like dang, why? xc
All I have is stickers and cards from the old magma/aqua set

[herar]

yeah honestly i think i have maybe 1? magma/aqua specific item (i have a bunch of groudon/kyogre stuff but , yeah) and that one is a pretty recent item. i'd love it if they would do a magma/aqua promo cause it would have a lot of awesome merch of my babies!

Congratulations on your grail! That is indeed quite an obscure item... I can see how it'd be difficult to track it down in the first place. I imagine most food item containers/packages are simply thrown away. Most people have no idea what it could be worth to collectors years down the road, even if it's a simple empty bread wrapper.

Sadly the pokedoll charm picture isn't showing up for me and neither is your site (not sure if it's just my internet/browser), but which pokedoll charm is it? Groudon?

[herar]

thanks so much! having this makes me wonder if there were any other tins that came out during the original R/S era with these two, as it's the only one i have. the rest of the tins I have are TCG tins (usually american) and a tiny pokedoll tin. i hope that there's atleast some people who kept them and maybe have them hidden in their closets somewhere. ;-;

huh, that's weird! hoping it might just be your net, cause it's working fine for me. XD but yes, it's the groudon charm!

Weeeird, I'm beginning to wonder if Google Chrome is messed up. There's another member's collection site that NEVER loads, and they always host their sales images from that site. I have to open up a new browser every single time they post aaahaa.

There probably are honestly! Since stuff like tins aren't as popular with collectors as plushes and figures, I assume that the vast majority that exist aren't known. Especially the old ones.
There are a few obscure Weavile tins that I'd love to have, and have only seen on one collection site. Never see them pop up though.

[herar]

i switched to firefox from chrome recently cause of all it's crap, so tbh wouldn't be surprised. XD

it's so sad that's the case! i especially love cookie tins and such and all the random merch pokemon get, people always seem to go for plush more since they're more cuddly. ;-; i hope you find some weaviles some day though! if you have any pics of ones you're looking for i can be on the look out, i search for tins pretty frequently trying to find random ones.

Congrats on getting this!
Personally I am not such a fan of legendaries, but if it's a grail for you, it's really great ^-^

Hopefully you will get the charm someday too! Just keep looking! : D

[herar]

thanks very much! i hope i find it too some day ;-;
(by the way, i shipping your Sylveon this morning :))

[mizugorou24]

If I see one, I'll think of you ^^
(Yeah, I was so happy to see it shipped!! Can't wait for it to arrive ^-^ Thanks very much :) )

I have a few Groudon items that you may or may not have:
Bandai Buildable Action Figure
Groudon featured on the cover of Beckett Pokemon Collector
and the poster from the magazine

Congrats on your grail get! ^^

[herar]

thanks much!
i believe i have the figure, and i don't collect flats too much, so i might have to think on those, but thanks for the offer!

[hantsukihaunter]

No problem! If it helps any, I'm selling the two flats for $2 total. I just want them gone because I have many magazines and posters left but I don't want to resort to throwing them away.

[herar]

oh well in that case XD how much is shipping to 49788?

[prawnographer]

Great get. It's unfortunate how elusive some Gen 3 merchandise is, especially those charms..

[herar]

yeah, no kidding! i attempted to collect pokedoll charms for a time but it felt so futile since all of the old ones are annoyingly rare/expensive.
