This is an amazing display. I can truly feel the joy and pride you must experience as you watch and admire them. It’s wonderful that you, of all people, have added them to your collection. I hope they continue to bring you joy throughout your collecting journey.

Not sure if it’s been posted here yet but the shadow is definitely Grimer, when I first got that card I thought it was ditto but considering the trainer in the game uses pineco, koffing, magnemite and grimer it’s safe to say deffo grimer haha.

In addition to the playtest grimer @bbobrob also middlemaned a bunch of other stuff too for me! These will be hell to store but pokemon center actually released a grimer backpack! fun fact is that i almost skipped buying it because of the storing issue but my wife forced me to buy it grimer is also presented in few other items in that line but i only did some selected picks, for some reason that’s already fourth pencil case i have with grimer on it and it’s a comical mini collection so i naturally had to pick another one when i had an opportunity. The socks are a different product from that poison line but items like that always make me smile, my only regret is that i didn’t buy multiple of them so i could rock everyday with some slimy feet 
Then some flats and a grimer keshi figure pretending it’s a flat 
bbobrob kindly also included some extra slime items in addition to the middlemaned ones, the magazine insert i knew he was going to include in my package but to my surprise he also gifted me for example that diamond & pearl sticker sheet that i had never seen earlier, i really don’t know where people constantly find these items i have zero knowledge of but i’m deeply grateful for them! The mini booklet in the middle was the first item bbobrob bought for me when he bumped into it and he definitely didn’t know what that purchase started since it soon grew into providing a pokemon center order for me into finally middlemaning the beta playtest grimer 
bbobrob really has been most helpful and he still keeps helping me, can’t thank him enough!

Always happy to help 
When I first stumbled upon the seal book, I figured I’d ask if you had it/wanted it for your collection, but I ended up liking the stickers so much that I started collecting them myself

I also find it funny that the stickers in the book share the same artwork with playtest cards, they were bound to be united with you

Congratulations on those amazing items! The Seal book is absolutely stunning, and the binder page is equally impressive. As for the backpack and socks, I feel a bit uncertain. Personally, I’m not too fond of collecting everyday items, especially clothing. I’m not entirely sure about the backpack, but for now, I think I’m leaning towards skipping clothes for Starmie altogether. How do you feel about collecting clothing items for your guys? Either way, I’m happy you got these pieces for your collection and that they bring you joy! 
Best,

I like the clothing items for the variety they bring but i haven’t had heart to wear a lot of my slime clothing or other daily use items, the photos i have of them here a a very important part of me enjoying them since those kinds of items tend to be the ones i just store in a closet without being able to see them regularly

Time for a small update from few end of the year items!
@Quuador helped me to obtain this one! I’m glad non-tcg species collectors have this habit of buying big lots for one small item where they end up with tons of stuff they don’t need, this is one of those extra items that quuador then asked if i need 
i love these unpunched pog sheets since they make so good display items, and this was the first holo one i have! I’ve already posted that individual pog in threads where holo patterns are admired so it really adds to the shine to have the whole sheet of same holo!
Then this lovely poster from the night arcade pokemon center items few months ago. In my opinion it has a very beautiful soft style and i think my wife agreed on that since when i asked her to help me take the photo of it she didn’t let me pack it up again and instead immediately wanted it framed, it was an unexpected turn of events but now she loves it and i have to find a place to hang it
And i didn’t know it when i purchased it but the poster also came with this sticker with the main artwork of night arcade merch which was lovely since it’s the original pic where the grimer poster was found and i love to have one example of that artwork too in my collection. Buying some merch individually for that tiny cameo wouldn’t have been a priority if i hadn’t gotten the sticker tho and with the sticker two items from the pokemon magazine i already posted here, when i bought the magazine i wasn’t sure if i want one to open too in addition to the one i wanted to keep sealed but i’m glad i went for the second one since when i read the magazine there also was a fortune teller featuring grimer that could be cut from the pages! I really don’t understand how they work but i did manage to assemble it properly and it adds to the diversity of my slime items list, a painful one to store tho

I’ve just had the pleasure of perusing your collection, and it’s certainly a joy to see the army you’ve amassed! Your passion is palpable! I also learned about a lot of non-tcg items I had no prior knowledge of existing, which is very cool.

Thanks for kind words! I’m not as informative with my non-tcg items as some other users here but i’m anyway glad if people learn something new from my posts

The poster looks great framed! The aesthetic is definitely very cute and pleasing to the eye. I remember when the Night Arcade line of merch was revealed, I was thinking whether you were going to chase down everything with that main picture, given the tiny, tiny Grimer present in it Maybe when you can’t find any new and interesting slime items, you can circle back and get all the Night Arcade merch.

Even though technically the end goal is everything slime related these kinds of items make it a bit difficult perhaps one day my madness takes one more turn in worse direction and i’ll go for all of them but for now i’m perfectly good with the poster and sticker

Lovely update @joponnes . I find the poster adorable and it looks so much good framed. I love the postcard / sticker with the original artwork as well. The Pokemon in them are so vibrant and well depicted. I was trying to search for the artwork till I realized it was on the walls.
Again, great little update. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

It’s fantastic to see members of the community helping each other out. I believe this truly embodies the spirit of coming together and organizing within a single forum.
The unpunshed sheet looks absolutely incredible, and the holo pattern is stunning. I’m so happy for you to have such a wonderful item in your collection!
As for the poster, it’s beautifully drawn. You mentioned it has a soft drawing style, and I completely agree. The artwork is amazing, and framing it really does it justice—it looks fantastic this way. It would be wonderful to see it in its final place; maybe there’ll be an opportunity to showcase it once it’s displayed.
I found it amusing that I searched the sticker for possible cameos but completely missed the miniature poster in the background. Having both the cameo and the actual poster makes such a great pair—congratulations on that! Overall, the launch of the Night Arcade series was truly incredible, featuring breathtaking art. Cheers to you for this addition!
As for the slime and the paper item … well, they’re not really my kind of collectibles. But I guess after collecting for so many years, your focus naturally has to expand
Thank you for sharing this stunning update!

Could someone please explain the Venonat cameo to me? I’m having a hard time seeing where Grimer could be on the card
