During a work party a while ago, we were allowed to participate in exchanging white elephant gifts. The idea was to bring something under $20. It had to be something one wouldn't mind receiving as a gift. I received something I hadn't seen in over 25 years.
Yup, it's been that long. I didn't even know Bandai still made this. I remember it was all the rage where I resided as a child. If you look around places like eBay, the original toys could go over $100.
Of course, I didn't think a colleague got a vintage Tamagotchi to participate in a work party. I went on the Bandai website and saw that they sell re-releases of these items for around $20 each. Well, I wasn't about to indulge myself.
I still haven't opened mine yet. Part of me wants to for the nostalgia. However, another part of me wants to keep the past in the past. It might be worth more by staying in its original packaging. Who knows? This one might become a collector's item too!
In all seriousness, I don't have the luxury of spending time glued to a time-sensitive game. I guess you do grow out of stuff sometimes. But, it's still nice to see familiar things.
Damn, I was the first to get one of these things in school, one of the few times I was the cool kid lol
It's been almost three decades since..damn.
!DHEDGE
Time flies!
oh shit
what a nice gift :D
but I understand your ending, I'm also not sure if I'd want to open that box again xd
weird past
It’s probably worth more down the road in the box. Lol
with the upcoming hyperinflation :D sure
Probably you should keep the past in the past
These toys take anyone back to their childhood
Indeed.

Gratos recuerdo cuando era un jovencito... hermoso contenido.
This will definitely bring back old good memories days
Yes.
The items look good though
I like them
It’s pretty cool.
I never had one, but I didn't realize they were making them again either. That was a very clever gift from them!
I was surprised.
What the hell is that thing? Just goes to show I spent most of the 90's living the South America or the Caribbean. I must have completely missed that one altogether!
I’m surprised you’ve never seen it?

That brings back memories! I used to have one that was solid gold. Like you, I don't think I'd open it because I don't have the time, but what a great trip down memory lane!

@enforcer48! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @bulliontools. (10/20)
It was a pleasant surprise.
No doubt. On a scale of 1-10, how does that rank compared to other white elephant gifts you've received in the past?
I'm gonna go with an 8. Probably the best I've ever gotten.
But, I generally find gift cards and cash better.
Awesome!
Yeah, gift cards and cash are hard to beat, although I struggled using up a $50 Amazon gift card from Christmas because I was stumped at what to buy. Maybe I'm just getting picky. 😆
Haha. I do love the Amazon credits I get from work at times. They are very helpful during the holiday season.
Very true. They especially come in handy for me, since I have two boys who don't seem to stop eating. 😆
