pokeball twister!! Man I wonder just WHY there is so little info on those?! Also that museum magnet is an amazing get! I've seen maybe two other people with it! Congrats on all the gets, these finds are awesome! >u<

Ooooo, it's a magnet!? I need to dig it out and check XD I thought it's some kind of pin/screw/whatever thing XD It's hard to balance it to stand and it's impossible to hang it in that small frame. Such a weird item (but that's the charm of early merch, right? XD)
The Twisters being exclusive to Europe are much more elusive and less documented. Especially those from the HGSS era. I've seen a lot of BW Twisters in shops (I even had Zorua and Oshawott myself), but almost none of the HGSS ones.
Hehe, thank youu <3 I need to share my collection more often ^^ Just yesterday I won an auction for something from the "Emperor of the Crystal Tower" that was limited to either 1000 or 3000 pieces <3 (I can't find the photo with info about this promo right now ^^' )

I meant museum piece! Whoo sleep deprivation! XD I think it's just some weird pin of some kind haha, super duper rare though for sure! Was your's in a lot or on its own? :0 I was wondering if maybe it was one of those items that gets grouped with junk a lot sobs

Oooh that would explain a lot! And Darn! Of course heartgold and soulsilver stuff would be the rarer versions haha XD even now I keep finding merch from specific art sets I've never seen anywhere else!

OOH I want to see that! Those are always the coolest to see!!

Damn, and I thought the Museum mystery has been solved XD I found it on Mercari listed separately just as "Pokemon Suikun" (and for around 700 yen). I have no idea what search terms could be used for it. The full name of this item would be ポケモンミュージアム スイクン and it was made by TOMY in 2001.

Hehe, maybe I'll include it in a post when the package from my middleman arrive. ^^

Your collection is freaking epic! So many cool items for the legendary beasts I didn't know existed.

Always love seeing your updates!
Major congrats on the yogurt lid, I'm amazed someone kept it in such good condition!

I'm glad you managed to get the second set of beast bandanas too!
I'm so fascinated by those mysterious pins--I've seen those around before and was curious about the origins. They look so unofficial, I could never tell if they were bootleg or not. Good to know more about them!

Regarding the Pikachu Hanten Raikou items--I had the same opinion. It's cool that Raikou is featured on many of them, but for items like the deck box and playing mat case, I just wasn't interested since Raikou is only a small part of them.

If/when you decide to build the nanoblocks, a word of caution--it will take you longer than expected. I like to build things (Zoids model kits, ect) so I was expecting the process to be smooth and not so fast. But it ended up taking a huge chunk out of me evening when I built mine!

Thank you <3

I shared some links about the pins and game machines in the comment below, you can check them out if you like ^^ If I find more info I'll be sure to share!

Yes! Too bad Raikou got so few individual items in this promo. That big bowl or spoon with Raikou image would've been so cool!

Thank you for your advice on the Nanoblocks <3 With my current mental state I don't even plan to attempt putting them together - I'd probably become frustrated after like two minutes of trying ^^' My unsteady hands won't help either XD

This was such an amazing update with so many fun things!! :D Congrats on all of your new and exciting gets!

That Suicune Museum thing is so mysterious. I'd be super interested to see the whole set some day! I love how this and the seal plate are both the kind of items where you're thinking, "why does this exist??"

GOSH I think about that Turbo Tops package with Raikou and Celebi ALL THE TIME. My childhood Toys R Us had an entire unwanted aisle end cap full of them up until the moment that particular store closed, and I never grabbed one because I grew tired of seeing them. Now I love the memories of seeing it and wondering how they mixed up Raikou and Suicune, and I feel like I need to add them to my collection now! I loved seeing it in your update!!

Thanks for writing about those mystery pins! I see them around occasionally and just brush them off as bootlegs, and while they still might be unofficial (maybe?) they also have a cool backstory. Do you still have a link to one of the videos you found of the game they're from? I was ( ... )

Awww, thank you so much <3

Haha, honestly those weird items are fun XD Even if I don't know their purpose it's amusing to think of all things they decided to put Pokemon images on xD

Oh no, that must be frustrating! D: Also it makes me wonder what they did with all the leftover stock... They appear from time to time on ebay (even MIP!), and I wish you'll be able to add them to your collection soon <3 ( ... )

Thanks so much!! <3

WOW thanks so much for all of the links and info about the pins/arcade machine too!! The machine looks like a lot of fun to play and I'm kinda sad I didn't try to find one when I visited Tokyo this past summer haha! I wonder why they decided to make the machine wiggle back and forth while you're playing. The Pokemon arcade game playlist uploaded by the person who made the first YouTube video you linked is a treasure trove of cool things to see too! :D
