Hiya again ya'll!

About a month ago I made my reintroduction post, as I used to be on here often.. like.. 8-10 years ago, and only last month returned here. In there I said I'd make an update soon, once all the packages I'd ordered would arrive. They now have!

Very nice collection! Looking into zukan for the first time is actually how I ended up finding pkmncollectors in the first place. I used to collect them, but I haven't added to my collection in a while now. They're mostly in storage at the moment.

When you started, how did you decide what zukan to collect? Or did you want to collect the all? There are quite a lot of them and some are really expensive. I would like to get all of Gen 1 and 2 someday, but geez, I'd probably have to win the lottery to be able to afford that.

Thanks!

I..'m not really sure anymore how it started. I have an anime shop nearby, and one day my dad gave me a figure from there (the first time we'd found that shop), and then we came back there several times, and one time I'd noticed a different type of figure that seemed cool that I wanted, which ended up being a zukan. I came back there countless of times to buy a figure each time, and at some point I started ordering stuff from ebay as well. I'm not sure at what point I ended up on here.

And yeah.. they're really expensive sadly.. to get all of Gen 1 and 2 will indeed require a lottery :s
Kind of a shame to have them locked up in storage, away from view though :

This is a really impressive collection of figures :)
I started to get really upset around the BW era when they seemed to care less about producing more Mons (a shame because I love the Unova region Pokemon) and then straight-up abrubtly ending the series at the Primal Groudon set, no Primal Kyogre or Mega Rayquaza figure, nothing. :

Yeah, but still. It has really good quality as far as I can tell, and if the officials won't make it anymore :s

Really amazing collection, I can imagine it took hours to take pictures! The Omanye line with the blue water effects is really cool!

Thanks! I'm a hobby photographer on the side, so that explains the photo quality part I suppose :p
