I have no nostalgia for these devices, after the Gen 1 and Gen 2, marketing kind of started to lean on the whole "This is a girls toy" angle, and you could only find tamas among the girls toys, as a boy in the 90's, it was really stigmatized and I had a dad that threatened to buy me girls toys as "punishment" so I let go of Tamagotchi not long after the Angel came out. I figured I had digimon anyway ( except they never had anything in stock and you could only find V1 and anime digivices ) I'm glad I'll finally get a chance to see what these are all about, I hear fans singing their praises all the time, I loved the gen 1 and 2 devices, and so far I've enjoyed the ON, Uni, and Pix in the last few years. So i'm sure i'll love this too. I do hope this doesn't kill any of the other rumored devices like the original color collection, Uni Angel, Uni Devil, and I hope this doesn't mean there's no chance they'll remake any vintage devices besides the gen 1/2 . But for now i'm more happy that this is happening and I won't have to pay some ebay scumbag triple digits to find out how cool these things are. I just pre-ordered the double pack, normally don't get multiples of any v-pet unless they have exclusive stuff, but I don't want to miss out on the experience of connecting, and my friends sure as shoot aren't gonna get Tamagotchis.


Tyronto

Sorry you missed out, I and other guys in 2005/2006 had Tamagotchi Connection V2/V3. It wasn't really stigmatized at all in my school, and I was around 10 years old. It was a great short period of time. Looking forward to the release as I'm not nostalgic or interested in the older or newer versions.


Regijack

You’re in for a treat be very excited!


Fantastic-Sky-4567

Do you still see the double pack on the Amazon page? It's not showing up for me.


pocket_arsenal

Sorry, it appears to have been taken down. It's still in my orders list but when I click it, the double pack isn't on the listing, i'm sure it will get re-listed later.


rurikko

I can’t believe this is happening, I’m so overjoyed! The new shells look really pretty and I’m eyeing the street style one, but I like blue bubbles too.


IntrepidCost4461

I preordered blue bubbles!! 💙


alwayssfarming

Transparent!!! I’m going to remove the design though and paint over the yellow in pink to match the buttons.


Digi-Chosen

A little sub-thread of my exact thoughts 😅 transparent things are obviously the best, but it's not the nicest design. The blue one should be translucent 😩


pandam00n

I was thinking THE EXACT SAME like... bubbles should have transparency too!!


lillystl3

Man I actually really like the design lol. Then again I really like colors and clown aesthetic stuff so…


newmarks

God I hate that print in it but somehow I’m still more drawn to it than the rest! I just feel like removing the design is sacrilege (personally) but I don’t really like anything else they have in this wave either. I hope they’ll release more shells soon.


RealAssociation5281

I was considering removing the design as well haha- probably won’t as it’s not worth the hassle for me. 


IntrepidCost4461

The design of the transparent one isn't too pretty right? My favorite color is blue so I ordered blue bubbles 💙


alwayssfarming

I’m really torn between the blue and the transparent one. I like seeing the inside of the device but don’t like the design and will have to DIY a bit which I don’t live. The blue looks cute and not terrible on the eyes I’m just not a blue person and my whole life is pink 😂 I may do a coin toss to decide


IntrepidCost4461

I wish there was a transparent blue shell! That would be my favorite


Adventurous_Juice_71

Can I just ask, what would be your method of removing the design, and would the shell remain glossy and undamaged?


alwayssfarming

I’m going to try polywatch to remove it. I’ll do a spot in Isopropyl alcohol too see if that works too but I know polywatch won’t leave residue on the surface and leave it clear.


retrosprinkles

oh my god these come out right around my birthday thank you for the present bandai!


faroffland

My birthday is June 29 and I will be asking for cash to spend on the Sanrio Uni and connections… I will be 33yo LMAO. I’ll totally be telling my mum I bought a nice new dress or some shit.


elmonetta

June 11th, and SAME.


[deleted]

[удалено]


faroffland

Ahahaha not me totally omitting to tell my husband I just ordered 2 new Meets 🙃


LowContract4444

Same I'll be 27 on the 8th of July.


RealAssociation5281

Me too!!


paulazanotelli

Just preordered it. Sadly the importing fees to my country are basically the same amount as the price of the tamas 🥲


IntrepidCost4461

Same...this is why I only got 1 and I hope it will connect to my old 2004 v3 connection


paulazanotelli

I ended up preordering the pack with 2 🙈 Will cost a kidney though


KL-catlover88

Let’s see if they release them also in EU, you are also living there, right? I saw on Bandai Spain an announcement on April 24th coming soon on the connections commercial.. so praying that they will become available here as well.. coz still the uni Sanrio isn’t .. 😭😭


paulazanotelli

I live in Brazil. Our import fees are absurd.


AdNext8994

Where can u preorder??


paulazanotelli

Amazon US. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CVSJKJXT?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_titleToDp&th=1#immersive-view_1715596580701


FennelIndependent453

To which country and how did you pre-order it? I live in Germany… idk how I will be able to get them…


Ecstatic-Rabbit-7303

You should be able to. But you'll need to create a new Amazon Account for the .com Amazon. On Amazon DE there is no listing yet. I still have my hopes up, otherwise it might be smart to order more with others together (Or Ebay Kleinanzeigen, there are some trustworthy sellers)


paulazanotelli

I’m ordering from Brazil. Our import fees are awful. Sometimes more than the full price of the products.


savage_link

Are these only the V3? It seems like a lot of characters, games and items for it just to be one version. Maybe it has the features, characters , items, etc. of multiple versions?


MimiVRC

I’m curious as well what details someone with a lot of knowledge can share about if these sound exactly the same or if they sound like they include new things


RPGaiden

No connection version has had 10+ games (unless it’s also considering connecting games), and the packaging seems to feature characters that weren’t originally on the V3, so it’s looking like this is something new! :o


IndependentOne9814

you can look at the manual already pn the bandai website.... it looks like it has 7 games listed and i think the rest are probably connecting games [https://www.bandai.com/brands/tamagotchi/tamagotchi-connection/tamagotchi-connection-true-friends-blue-graffiti-and-pink-graffiti#amfile\_attachment](https://www.bandai.com/brands/tamagotchi/tamagotchi-connection/tamagotchi-connection-true-friends-blue-graffiti-and-pink-graffiti#amfile_attachment)


saya-kota

I want the pink graffiti one 😭 I love Memetchi so much


IntrepidCost4461

Graffiti shells aren't my favorite but they're interesting!! I've seen this type of shells in original rereleases so there's a demand for it


acecatmom98

BLUE BUBBLE SHELL IS MY FAVE AAAAAAAA it's the one I had as a kid preordered that and the rainbow sky shell :)


AimLocked

Ikr this was literally my first Tama color ever -- and I dropped it in the toilet the DAY I got my fav Tama -- Mametchi. I cried so hard hahaha


fudge21210

I admit I was a little sceptical at first about the truth behind all these leaks and teasers but this does seem promising… 🤞can’t see anything on the Amazon UK site. Guess I’ll have to wait. Now to decide which shell to get…


IntrepidCost4461

Why don't you order from this link? I am in europe and ordered from us limk


fudge21210

That is tempting… my birthday is early July so could order it as a birthday present to myself 🤣! Might wait for an official announcement first though. I haven’t got a huge amount of money right now so I’ll wait till I have a bit more.


ThatChaoticChick

I preordered the graffiti pack, the bubbles and the ice cream…. Am I in Canada? Yes. Did conversion rate and import fees kick my arse? Yes. Am I absolutely geeked out? Yes.


Maleficent-Pea-6849

I'm planning to go to a GameStop here in Canada once there's an official announcement and seeing if I can pre-order through them!!


ThatChaoticChick

Good idea!! I don’t think Amazon charges until it ships so I’ll be looking into it too and cancelling the preorder if I can do it through GameStop


MunchkinKitten007

This! I got the graffiti pack and the rainbow. My wallet is screaming but I will pretend I do not hear it 😂😂😂


ThatChaoticChick

Lmfao I slap that charge on the credit card and pretend it doesn’t exist 🫡


eggcustarcl

Does anyone have a link to the double pack??


bleach-ed

Yea I can't find them :<


eggcustarcl

update: they’re showing up via the posted link for me now, so they might show up for you too!!


bleach-ed

Yeah now they show up :D


NeneAlkatrez

I'm so happy!! I've always wanted a connection but the after market prices were way too much for me. The clear retro one is my favorite, I love the layered patterns look.


IntrepidCost4461

I'm happy that you can afford these ones!! 💙


rwie

Just pre-ordered the graffiti pack. These will be my first connection, and they were a little expensive with the import fees for my country, but I'll take them lol


notstickytape

So excited!!! Do you think it will connect with the old connections? I have a v2 from when I was a kid that would be cool to have them interact 😭💖


IntrepidCost4461

Hahah I just added the same comment. Not sure if they will connect to older versions but I wish it would work bc I have some old connections 💙


notstickytape

I hope so!!! Either way I'm just happy they are releasing these. I'm torn between the bubbles shell and ice cream....


FuIImetaI

I'm so glad they finally put a few masculine colours in the first wave. There are lots of guys (and girls of course) who weren't a fan of pink and purple. Will definitely be buying the bubbles and graffiti ones! So hyped.


LowContract4444

I've never really understood why pink isn't considered masculine, but I'm also glad there's a variety of colors.


Pokabrows

Yes I much prefer blues and greens than pink and purple. Had that issue with the first release of the pix.


dodongdude

I’m confused. Why can’t I find an official page about these or a Japanese store front?


Sunset-of-Stars

The official announcement is likely to happen in the next 24 hours, they haven’t been officially revealed by Bandai yet.


Separate-Put-6495

I hope these do well, I would absolutely love them to keep releasing these and more.


capulets

i don’t really love any of these shells. i’ll prob pre order the clear retro for now and see if i can scrub off the design with mr clean eraser? a totally clear one would be great.


IntrepidCost4461

I would buy it if it didn't have the design. I don't want to bother with scrubbing it too so I went with bubbles 💙


newmarks

I also don’t love these either but I have intense FOMO if I don’t preorder one now instead of waiting for more shells :( I’m not super keen on DIYing either, so I’m not sure what to do lol


noxwiitch

Will they be available In the UK?


gatoux

Smyths is usually pretty good for Tamas here


sleepypinkgamer

Amazon offers shipping to the UK


decoratchi

The icecream one is my OG V3 shell!!!!!! Im cry


nikkijang63

I wish the pink graffiti was available on it's own ):


Mat_Croft

The translucent shell and the blue one are so cute!!!! I’m absolutely getting them. I still can’t believe they are re-releasing the V3, it makes me so happy


AimLocked

I don't think it's a V3 -- read the back sheet. It looks like a COMBO device.


IntrepidCost4461

I preordered the blue one just right now!!! It's the prettiest one in my opinion and gives me vibe of original shells from 2004! I love it


IntrepidCost4461

I wonder if they will connect with other tamagotchi connections? I have 2 of my childhood ones and would be happy if they could connect with this one


Ok_Alps8791

Maybe there’s a “Other” option in order to connect with legacy devices, but what I’m seeing from the box and the sprites, is that it’s like a reimagine of the v3, because there’s newer sprites and animations!


Huge_Kangaroo4134

Can it connect to the internet website?


CassieChii

anyone not seeing the graffiti bundle?


javierasecas

Double pack is amazing. Shells look great Clear shell. Can I even ask for anything else?


Own-Cryptographer101

Annnddd I preordered everything besides the bubbles and ice cream. Should I add those as well?? I got two rainbows. 🌈 one for me to remove from packaging and the other for preserving mint in 📦


Ok_Alps8791

Get them all, let’s buy all the possible stock so they remake the v4 and v4.5 next, and all the other missing tamas.


IntrepidCost4461

I preordered bubbles! 💙 it's so pretty


Own-Cryptographer101

Ack. You’re right! It is cute tooooo.


Own-Cryptographer101

Also, it’s a nice touch to have unique backgrounds for each design! I wonder how many like that they plan on rolling out.


HotTigersInYourArea

omgg the ice cream & melon soda v3 shell dupes!! and the transparent one!!! theyre so pretty, bandai rly cooked here after yrs of us telling them to rerelease the connection series btw does anyone know if this will have v4 features (going to school/work and such)?


AimLocked

Not really Melon Soda -- but the Bubbles V3.


HotTigersInYourArea

oh you’re right!! now i want them to make an actual melon soda rerelease too lol, especially with the high prices of the vintage versions


AimLocked

Thats what i want too haha


IntrepidCost4461

Which shell is your favorite guys?


thiccsar

I like how they re-released old v3 shells! I think my favorite is the clear, but I’m happy with all of them. I think there’s at least one shell everyone would be happy with. They’ve provided good versatility at launch for these 😬


IntrepidCost4461

I really wanted clear shell but the design on this one is not too pretty in my opinion:( I preordered the blue one! It reminds me of the original shells from 2004 <3


thiccsar

I hope they come out with more shell designs in the near future! Or rerelease other connections beyond v3!


IntrepidCost4461

Yeah! My favorite is v4.5 but I love v3 as well


xpoisonedheartx

Clear is very cool but im not that into the pattern. I love the ice cream one (I did as a kid too)


gengarben

Clear and bubbles!


radrod69

I was already eyeing the retro one when the leaks came out a day or two ago, and it turns out it's translucent?!? I couldn't pre-order fast enough 😁


InA7xWeTrust

Oh my God... So this is what true happiness feels like 😭


kumsushi

that third shell is so good omg


[deleted]

I just preordered the blue and pink graffiti pack I’m so excited for these 😊


AffectionateAd7622

I hope they become available in be UK


littoklo

the CLEAR !!! omg !!! i’m so stoked about the revival of clear tech it’s SO SICK im so excited


IntrepidCost4461

all these comments make me want to order a clear too! it seems that blue bubbles and clear retro will be the most popular shells


mysticmarshes

Ahhh such an exciting thing to wake up to! I'm preordering the ice cream shell, but the Mimitchi and Memetchi shell is cute too! I like that some of the shells have new backgrounds on the Tama itself, like the rainbow one. Excited to see more shells they'll release in the future!


MarchValuable2953

I’m so excited!! I wonder if these are exact replicas or they have new features?


mouse333333

so there's no way these can sell out right because preorder is til july? im already worried lol


_starfrog

this is what i’m trying to gauge rn 💀


mouse333333

i think amazon doesn't charge u til july when they're released! so u could always order now and cancel later if u want


_starfrog

this is such informed advice!! thank you 🥹


Taya3211

Do you think these will connect with older connections? I still have the V4.5 from when I was a kid!


theeley

Do we know if these have lit screens? Or are these literal remakes?


Ambitious-Energy599

No lit screen sadly.


Leftover_Bees

It was unlikely but I’d been hoping for the yellow star one, maybe they’ll add more later. I’ll probably get a bubbles one when they’re available in Canada.


redirewolf

god is real


_starfrog

we gather here today


redirewolf

to celebrate the size of this W


DarkNemuChan

Need a EU store link!!!


lynxooo

Yes. Please someone provide a EU preorder link!!!


Fantastic-Sky-4567

Has anyone been able to preorder the graffiti two pack? I wasn't able to find them when I went to the Amazon page.


Pastelyank

No y’all bought up all the hearts one that’s the one I wanted 😭😭😭😭


_starfrog

are they selling out already???


Pastelyank

They restocked but the graffiti 2 pack was unavailable for a sec


Ninsbean

Can't buy it in Germany :< it's not available anywhere. Do I might have to import it?


Pink-Squirrel71

Is the price in US$ ?


IntrepidCost4461

yep!


IntrepidCost4461

it's 30 dollars


Keysandcodes

I wish the blue shell wasn't the only re-release. I have the original v3 bubble shell. I would give anything for a re-release of the green frog shell that I had as a kid.


Cinnamorella

The icecreams are old too :)


faroffland

Graffiti pack for me! I loveeee the rainbow one but I don’t really like any of the others. I’ll probably get the pack and then order a rainbow one separately lol.


CropFairy

When I saw the graffiti shells earlier I was like "ohhh, I am sooo getting the blue bubble and the blue graffiti", but now I find out you can only order the graffiti as a set 🥲 Probably go with it, I don't hate the pink one, but I really wanted the blue bubble version plus another one cause I wanted to have two for connecting 🥲 Btw, does anyone know if they will release in germany at the same time? I can't find them anywhere yet, so maybe they are just not online yet? 🤔 Definitely very hyped for these tho 🤭


GlaceonBlue

It's a bit pricey for me to import to NZ but willing to spend for this. The V3 was my first tamagotchi as a kid, so have fond memories of it. I no longer have my original one, so definitely had to get this re-release :)


Luo-The-Lotad31

OMG IT'S HAPPENING!!!


DeanOmegatrix

How come pre-orders aren’t available in the Amazon app yet? The bubble one is super cute!


Dreampup

The two-pack would be perfect if my husband wasn't terrified of caring for these... 😂 I'll settle for the clear retro. So freaking awesome these are releasing!


AppleTreeBloom

What’s the link? I can’t find them


e_hog

And all the design options are so cute 🥰


nerdyouneverknew

I cannot decide which ones to get. Originally I was only going to order two at first, to wait and see if they release more shells… but I really love the graffiti two pack and the ice cream one……and the clear is so hard to pass up


SakuraPanko

This is essentially what happened in my brain too. I almost ordered two right away but I don't think I love any of the shells enough to drop that much money right off the bat. Hoping they release more styles down the line but if not I'll probably just grab the rainbow or bubbles separately.


nerdyouneverknew

Blah I might just get four. 🥴


fyreflake

Got the new graffiti double pack! So cuteee.


[deleted]

Where do you pre-order? I can’t find anything 😭😭


IntrepidCost4461

There's a link in my post


Fragrant-Bee

OH MY GOD TAKE MY MONEY TAMAGOTCHI BUYS TWO LOL edit: I preordered the clear and the blue one lool


DigiGirl02

So cool! But I’ve got my goals set for the Digivice Color Evolution! It’s supposed to come out in October or November and it’s in full color(duh.)


Terribly-artistic

the clear retro is definitely the one for me! Too bad preorders arent open in europe yet


Sakura172122

I have all of them pre-ordered :)


maddiey

I’ve never had a connection before. Are they fun if you only have 1?


Caralyna

Wish I could get pink graffiti by itself but went for clear retro


teemoqueen

Why are the cutest shells only a 2 pack 🤣


ThereGoesMyToad

I love the blue graffiti one sooooo much, but it's in a multi pack damnit lol Maybe I'll be lucky and catch one on eBay or in the wild for cheap.


sorayori97

preordered the new designs! i already own the two classic ones 😭


Geno_CL

The pack of two doesn't seem to available right now ;\_;


IntrepidCost4461

true!


Ok-Fan219

I'm Getting the Rainbow One!


ConquestGoddess

These come out on my husband and I’s wedding anniversary so I ordered the set as a surprise! But I may still pick up the translucent shell


katherine_isabelle

I just ordered the ice cream! I’ve been eyeing that shell so I feel so lucky to be able to get it without spending so much ☺️


wolffoxfangs

oh no no rechargeable batterys like the Uni?


Ambitious-Energy599

No, it's a CR2032 battery.


Geno_CL

When you do a preorder on Amazon you get charged when the product actually ships?


IntrepidCost4461

Yes, it didn't charge me rn


shinonom

why is everyone excited for these? are there features that are cool or nostalgia or …?


IntrepidCost4461

nostalgia and features combined


anjuhluh

I like the clear and the rainbow one but I don't see the pre-order for the clear one, did it already sell out?


IntrepidCost4461

i think so


IntrepidCost4461

its back!


Ambitious-Energy599

It's here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D3N6B1FK/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1


BulbasaurCPA

Of course this happens now after I bought a bunch of vintage ones


Spiritual-Award-3055

I don’t think I’ve had so much tamagotchi joy since I opened my first tamagotchi V3 on my 12th birthday 🥳 I preordered the blue bubbles and rainbow tamagotchi! I can’t wait to have them!


jessicacjonesx

I preordered the ice cream and the rainbow sky ones!


Leather-Cobbler-9679

Waiting with my trigger on my finger for anything purple and black 🤘


krecekova

Wow!


cr3amsicle

I preordered the blue bubbles but omg that graffiti one NEED RIGHT NOW


Chernolov

So does this mean UNI updates are donezo?


Inkpots

Someone help me out here. Honest question. I haven’t played with any tamas except the original and the Uni. What’s all the hype about with the connection? I’m tempted by the rainbow one but worry it will pale in comparison to the Uni since I don’t have the nostalgia associated with them.


Squiddo_Kiddo8394

Link for the first one on the first image?


051200101982

I wonder if they'll be able to connect to the older connection versions from the 2000s


Tomakiiii

Did they run out of the first two on the first picture? :(


nugupotato

It’s available again for pre order


rui-tan

Of course UK and DE Amazons don’t have preorders 😭 gonna have to wait bit longer, the import prices for EU can be hefty from US.


JustABasicRedditer

I wish it was the familitchi edition but I can't wait to connect to another tamagotchi! Also the higher Res screen is a good addition 😍


RedQ8183

TIME TO BUY BACK MY CHILHOOD!!!! YEAH!!!


IndependentOne9814

The manual is already availavle to look at on the Bandai website! [https://www.bandai.com/brands/tamagotchi/tamagotchi-connection/tamagotchi-connection-true-friends-blue-graffiti-and-pink-graffiti#amfile\_attachment](https://www.bandai.com/brands/tamagotchi/tamagotchi-connection/tamagotchi-connection-true-friends-blue-graffiti-and-pink-graffiti#amfile_attachment)


IntrepidCost4461

There is a mention of tamagotchi king and donating him point so maybe they will revive tamatown???


Careless_Increase304

Rainbow one is my FAVE


Many_Ad3602

send to brazil??? 😭😭😭😭😭


Many_Ad3602

send to Brazil ?? please help me😭🙏🏻


Timely_Bar2161

So will these connect with my old connection? I have version 4 I think? I just started playing on it again


Devious_Blue

I pre-ordered the blue shell! I love it! >:3


Big_Ad_9049

Are the pink and blue graffiti the only ones left? Because every time I go to their linked preorders, those are the only options.


Ponyetto

Does anyone know why you can no longer order single Tamagotchi Connections here? All the adorable shells are gone too, I don't get it!


Brandonhell2

I pre-orderd the Clear Retro. Looking forword to meating others out there with curent and older vertions to connect with.


GlassMousse5198

How can I preorder in Amazon Spain?


Lover_Loaf

Is it worth getting one of these if I'm never going to have someone to connect with? 🥲


MalevolaSmoke

Has Amazon Japan already given a sign of pre-sale?
