Booyah. I predict marbles. XD

missingnomaster.bsky.social•12 days ago

I remember these! Ohhh, man, I gotta see if I can find them!

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Please do! I hope you have a Weezing one 😤

I had a whole buncha these, if I had disposable income as a 10 year old, I would've gotten even more.

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

That's one good thing about growing up, we have a little more than we did as children (usually).

I assume they're long gone now?

mc-bone.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yeah...same with my Pokemon toys and battle coins.

I love these!! I have staryu and starmie c: I'd be super keen to track down more

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

There's quite a lot of them! I am only familiar with the first gen ones.

They also have "first edition" marbles with a star next to the Pokémon.

i have the meowth bag and i use it as a dice bag for tabletop

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

I love that you managed to find an additional use for it!

cradilyenthusiast.bsky.social•12 days ago

I have the Kabuto one!

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh fantastic! I'd love to see it.

cradilyenthusiast.bsky.social•12 days ago

Had to be extra with my presentation

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh you couldn't have presented that any better!

yungsnorlax.bsky.social•12 days ago

Omg I remember these! They used to have a launcher of some kind right?

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Correct! I have one of those too from an earlier purchase 😁

yungsnorlax.bsky.social•11 days ago

I had this and a few marbles as a kid. The launcher is no joke it's a cannon

eldritchboy4.bsky.social•12 days ago

NAH I HAD THE RED RHYDON BAG WITH MARBLES, I completely forgot about this wow!!!

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Did you sell them to the guy at this toy fair by any chance? 😝

eldritchboy4.bsky.social•12 days ago

If you are not from Chile, South America, then no, I don't think so lmao

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Maybe they were sold and then re-sold? Hmm!

Well anyway, they're great little things I couldn't just leave them there!

eldritchboy4.bsky.social•12 days ago

I loveeeee the sound they make! Hope you play with them at least once lol

pizzapality.bsky.social•12 days ago

So jelly, I looooooved these things as a kid! Never had any but my friend had so many and whenever I went over to his house we would marvel at the collection!!

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

That's cool! Wonder if your friend still has them?

m2ebw.bsky.social•12 days ago

CORE MEMORY UNLOCKED!!

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Did you own any?

m2ebw.bsky.social•12 days ago

See, I definitely did but I can’t remember which ones XD

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Maybe they'll come to you! Sad that you don't have them anymore though eh? Thankfully they're not the most expensive of toys to pick up. If there's one or two Pokémon you really love, I guess!

m2ebw.bsky.social•12 days ago

I do have my old marbles still, maybe they're hiding in there XD

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ooh! You should go searching and find out sometime 😝 if you ever do find out let me know id love to know!

richmcmullan.bsky.social•12 days ago

I remember these!

Awesome find!

johtotimes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thank you! I do have some already but these were the first ones I saw out in the wild. At £1 a marble (bags thrown in for free) I just couldn't pass them up!
