TMGC Grail
Recently I've been asked by at least two people (!) what I would like as a gift and also have been asked what my "Holy Grail Tamagotchi" is. I don't really have a Holy Grail as my collection is still fairly small (about 15 pets right now) and the things I want are still reasonably obtainable so it's more just a matter of waiting for availability/money. So here's my Tamagotchi Grail. Not a Holy Grail, just a regular Grail LOL Or in other words, the Tamas I'm looking for the most:

Most of my Tamagotchi shopping is done on eBay, and you can basically just type in the name of what you want but there's a lot of fakes and mislabeled stuff on there, so it's good to have pictures and know what you're looking for. I recently bought a first wave Angel and it ended up being a second wave Angel which look quite similar other than a very small detail. It was actually the seller that mixed them up and sent the wrong one (not the one that was in the listing). It was actually in the first wave packaging, but it was the 2nd wave device (which looks the same from the outside). So you have to be careful about stuff like that.
There's also JAPAN YOU WANT which sells mostly Japanese stuff, and has an entire section for Tamagotchi. Their stuff is reliable and quality, and the prices LOOK nice, but they charge big shipping, so it ends up being about the same you pay elsewhere. It's just a nice place to find reliable listings where you don't have to worry about things being listed wrong or being fake.
Also it's important to note that Tamagotchi is sometimes called "Tamagotch" (the original Japanese didn't use the "i" at the end) so you can find listings who list them that way, as well.
(Oh and there's this special Pac-Man Tama that I keep overlooking because I think "I can just get this later" but it will eventually be out of stock and makes a great add-on to gifts LMFAO)
