I went past a Build A Bear while shopping for a new coat and I couldn't see Pikachus through the window, just shitloads of Star Wars stuff.
Pikachu is not one of the pokemon I buy stuff of though because I just don't rate it very high on my list. You did remind me I should get a Pokemon Time Raichu, though.

I got $50 dollars in gift cards to blow

I'm feeling TCG and manga right now, anything else that may be good?

Would you pay 80 bucks for a plush?

>>24925371
I've paid more than that in the past

I once saw some strange machine gun/soldier pikachu at a streetshop in China. I regret not purchasing it.

The only merch I have is the stuff my sister got me as souvenirs from Japan

>>24925382

I wasn't a bootleg was it?

80 bucks after conversion to Canadian dollars. Fug

>>24925306
it was for my gf. Normally I wouldnt get pika merch for myself. Also, the pikas are hidden in the middle of all the other bears and sgar wars stuff

>>24925422
>canadian dollars
also the last item I bought was the 2015 New Years sleeping Chespin plush which was like $70bux usd but it's also way bigger than that Porygon at 23 inches long. I've spent way more on custom made stuff, though.
I think this is my vice

>>24925407

Are there legitimate machine gun pikachu action figures?

>>24925439
This is the only other plush I really want. Already have my Dragonite and my Substitute.

>>24925446
Pokevault currently has a single one in stock, anon!

>>24925453
>If it's more than $55 US, that eBay one is still cheaper.

>>24925461
Oh, I thought you were referring to the Chespin. Porygon stuff seems to be hard to find so I'd keep your eye on that auction.

>>24925461
Whoops, didn't mean to memetext.

>>24925466

How can you tell? If it's been bootlegged, there should be hundreds floating around for ten bucks each.

I've been searching for a Porygon Z plush for nearly 2 years to replace the one my dog mauled

I haven't bought anything in awhile, but I'm thinking about getting the new buizel Pokémon time plush.

>>24925697

So, are all of these fake?

I might get one anyway, they look fine to me

>>24925318

Build a bear, But they build em too fat. It's good for the smaller bears because them it puffs em out more, but they scaled up pikachu by like 10% size so it's a tight fit. That took a lot of squishing to get him in.

>>24926300
Why would they be fake?

>>24926502
They look real to me, but another anon says otherwise. Not sure what to think.

>>24926535
Maybe anon thinks they're fake because they're not POKEMON CENTER, idk.

Banpreto UFO plushes aren't anything new and these are all too identical (and have tags) to be fake imo.

Is that thing really worth that much? I bought that exact plush from a clearance bin at anime expo like 5 years ago

>>24926854
Yep, it was only available from those annoying crane games, and only in 2009.

Okay, bit the bullet and bought Porygon-Z.

What's the most you fags have spent on PokeMerch

>>24927109
If you're talking about single item, that Jedi Pikachu I posted set me back about 50 dollars.

Can't think of anything more expensive than that. Unless you count 3ds, DS, GBASP, since those were solely bought to play pokemon. Everything else has been moderate or cheap, I just buy a ton of it.

I also got the Mega Blastoise family Tomy figure pack, but the Japanese version before Megas were released in America. Did that cuz I was at the Con already anyways, and it was same priced online. That was 45 dollars.

The most was probably $250 on one purchase. But most of my purchases tend to be over $100.

Now that I'm gonna start a full time job, I can buy even more shit. Feels fantastic.

Did the weavile guy ever show off his plush or was he a RP fag?

I have venusaur and x charizard from the preorder of pokemon

nah after the shit we gave him he disappeared for the most part

Guy ordered life size weavile doll to..... mate with? and posted a few times(possibly a lot, with my shit ass net I can't be online as much as I'd like and I saw him somewhat frequently though may have just been several RP fags playing along he said he was getting it novemberish, paid someone to custom make it and was gonna make a thread when it got here.

Well the biggest thing was when he posted it, it ended up looking like shit upon arrival (messed up proportions and such). He was cool about it and we didn't give him toooo much shit, but still it was a but embarassing. The biggest point was it cost a lot of money (several hundreds) and still looking shitty. Hence keks.

>>24927109
The most expensive thing I've bought is the Pokémon time growlithe for $75. I've spent about $360 on my plushes, not counting the 3 MH ones.

>>24930640
Thanks. I try to avoid buying bootlegs because they usually look awful, but I would buy one of those 12 inch Chinese plushes if they made a noivern.

I always go into those new bootleg chinese/korean stores that are popping up at malls thinking "If a bootleg is really good, maybe I'll buy it."

Nope, there's always one or many things wrong, or the stitching is way asymmetric, or it's just odd proportions. And the prices aren't -that- good for bootlegs anyways.

Also, no pictures allowed

You can find it on the Fgts archive.

>>24931372
How much are they?

>>24933984

ugh I'm not there anymore, but I want to say even the smaller ones are about 15-20, big ones pricey. Not exactly as expensive as the official merch but... not cheap enough to sway me either.

>>24934986
It's absolutely inane that they limit 99% of their pokemon to aftermarket mark up and bootlegs. They are sitting on a goldmine of almost 800 creatures, and someone out there would buy any one of them. And yet they only make merchandise for a dozen of them. They wouldnt even have to stock it anywhere, put an extra bunch of them in a warehouse and wait for it to get sold, every year or two remake the ones that are sold out.

But nope, here's another hundred Pikachu plushies. and a fucking lucario/greninja

>>24935169
it makes sense from a business aspect: why create plushes for every Pokemon and risk them shelf warming? make plushes of the most popular and you're guaranteed to have a constant seller

looking at the current selection at the Pokemon Center, I think maybe Trainer sized Goomy, Secret Base Clefairy, Lapras, Pikachu, Treecko, Mudkip, Pokedoll Meowstics, Litleo, Inkay, Amaura, Helioptile and Bunnelby have a chance of skyrocketing in price in the future; also the Kuttari Eeveelotions since for some damn reason there's so much affinity for them

>>24935285
Why don't they make more of the old ones that sell for big bucks? Imagine how many shiny Magikarps they could sell.

>>24926167

that's a blast from the past anon, I also had psyduck from the same series. the clips on the poke balls broke after a little while because i threw them around the yard all the time.

Conkin time! Got this one for myself for Christmas. Always wanted to snag one but they were always expensive. I got this for like half the price. The japanese seller also added handcrafted notes and origami made from pokemon stationery.

>tfw Machamp will never have a decent plush

are there any Weavile plushies or figures that aren't derpy or low-quality?

>>24943575
There was a pretty nice one released when the Lucario film came out, but good luck finding that. Part of a 'Pokemon Pose Figure' line they did for a few years.

I've paid over £100 for some plushes before.Swampert Pokedoll with tag and sceptile with tag. Also banpresto Feraligatr,Typhlosion and smeargle cost me a fair bit

Why don't you just tell your father you bought something else? I haven't used Paypal in over a year, but from what I remember it doesn't say what you bought. Honestly, I can't blame your dad for being annoyed that you buy toys with his money though.

And you probably should consider getting your own paypal/bank account. Hell, even Chris-chan had one.

>>24947188
Just get your own checking account and link it directly to PayPal.

that's how it's meant to be used. don't take out a credit card via Paypal as their APR is ludicrous, just link it to your checking account (if you don't already have one, find a credit union and open an account with them) and the funds of what you purchase will automatically be deducted from your primary account which would, in your case, be the checking account

you can link multiple checking/credit accounts to your Paypal too

Indeed, it's an improvement, but really hit and miss still. Like, some pokemon aren't even close to the right proportions, but I kinda liked the magikarp that was completely round in shape.

I'd rather just buy neither at that rate, there's only a few I'd buy for myself as decoration, and I'd only buy my girl official stuff, but she'll settle for one mew as opposed to a dozen knockoffs of cute-but-not-her-favorite-anyways.

My main weakness is the 2inch Tomy figures, and all knock offs of those sre horrendous. Pic related
