Shiny Wants and Grails
Hello, all! Long-time collector and lurker here. I've been having some trouble tracking down a few items; and it's past time I actually made a wants post for them. Since these items are pretty rare I'm willing to pay a finder's fee if you can point me in the right direction! Items and info under the cut!

As someone more familiar with the stamp rallies themed after the Pokémon films that are hosted by JR East and JR West, this one by Iwate Prefecture with the Geodude hat was interesting to learn about. Thank you for sharing!
In general, I know how difficult acquiring Keshi Poké can be. I'm still hunting for the Grovyle Keshi Poké 10 years later! I've only seen one, and it's in a very inconvenient and overpriced lot that I keep having to remind myself to be patient.
Good luck with all your wants!

It was interesting to research! It seems that there are a few stamp rallies held as part of the Local Acts, but the one in Iwate was first (I think) and seems to have better documentation an prizes. Even then, my sources on it consist of a tweet and the page advertising it on the website.
When I was typing out this post I realized just how long I've been searching for some of these things. These days I try to buy items right when they're released. I enjoy the hunt, but not this much, lol.
Good luck to you, too! I'll keep an eye out for Grovyle!

Wow, that Geodude hat is surprisingly cute!
Hopefully they do release a few more of the shiny variant so you have a higher chance at spotting one for sale!
Keshipoke are a total pain to hunt down. I've been searching for the Reshiram ones myself (BW set #1 and #2); so if I come across that Genesect or any set #5 boxes I'll let you know.

I see Keshipoke from the Diamond/Pearl era frequently, but the BW ones seem to be more rare. Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for Reshiram as well!

I love that the mascot costume for it has checkerboard legs, like the background of a transparent png. Very clever on their part to get the floating illusion!
Yes, DP era Keshipoke are the most common ones. AG era Keshipoke are typically the most difficult to come by; but some of the BW ones are tough as well.
Thanks! Honestly, I've only ever found one photo of Reshiram from BW #1, and it's not even visible. Just a white smudge inside the Pokeball; so I'm not confident in finding it any time soon!
Very fortunate that you've got a clear picture of Genesect to go off of--though, being the secret figure in the set doesn't help much!
