2.4.15 - Can Badge Series 3

Ahhhh.. these Can Badge sets are killing me. I actually have to get this set since there's so many with Yamato and Takeru.. and Jyou...

The set retails for about $39 USD and the one with Takeru and Kinu at the bottom is probably exclusive to the site.. the preorder period only lasts until 2/11~!!

You can purchase the set at Toei's Shop.

Can Badge Set 3

A new "Can Badge" set was announced this morning via HobbyStock's Twitter, retweeted by Adventure15th.

They retail for 300 yen (each?) and there are 10 total, 2 being unrevealed secrets. My bet is one is probably MetalGarurumon or Gabumon.

They are in the style of the recent chibi keychains and plushes... not my favorite cup of tea, but I'll bite.

There is some exclusivity, but I don't know if it's at the special event mentioned only or their website (similar to how the first keychain set you could only obtain MetalGarurumon through their site) or if they will be widely released but maybe the secrets are exclusive... will let you know more when I know more.

1.25.15 - Return from haitus

Sorry about the long haitus everyone. I was without internet for a good part of the year and in that time they announced tri., a sequel to Digimon Adventure! So, of course, that means lots of merchandise has been pouring out. Here's a quick rundown of the Yamato related items:

• Can Badge (from Live Event, PB*)
• Can Badge 2 (PB, only sold in a set)
• Rubber Straps (2 for Adventure, 1 is a rare variant)
• Keychain (circular, two-sided with Gabumon)
• MetalGarurumon S.H. Figurearts Original Designer's Edition
• Yamato Ishida G.E.M. Figure (REissue, no card is included)
• Digivice Vers. 15th "Yamato Ishida" Version (slimmer than original, new Digimon included, first run includes a blue Digivice pin)
• Digimon Tag and Crest (now called Coat of Arms) Vers. 15th (more show-accurate, first run includes the Orange/Blue/Clear Digivice pins previously availible and a Tag pin)
• Yamato Ishida Keychain Plush (Sega - UFO Catcher prize)
• Gabumon Plush (little is known)
• 2 posters in Otomedia Magazine featuring him

It's a lot to take in right? I've managed to snag most of everything, but I expect once tri. is out that things will be more pick-and-choose. Have you all collected anything recently?
