i have two original gen 3 connections from when i was in elementary school (2004?), along with two m!x’s (2016?), all four of which still work… but when i saw this specific one (the translucent blue with gold stars!) i HAD to have it!
it works great, besides buttons occasionally not working (needing to be pressed twice for it to register). it’s a simple tama, only one game (guessing if a number will be higher or lower than the one shown, from 1 to 9, a being lower and b being higher) but it’s really cute and i’m happy.
i probably won’t be keeping it active for a long time, and i always take out the batteries if im not going to be playing so it doesn’t get icky, so i expect it should last.
i think the only thing im worried about is if the painted design will last, and if the buttons continue to work.
i REALLY hope when they release the new connections, that there will be some similar to this in shell design! because i love my connections still and i would be SO happy to have more (and i wonder if they’ll be comparable with the old ones?? that would be awesome)
i love my m!x’s but they’re only in japanese and the design isn’t quite as good (they’re just bigger mostly, and require either AA or AAA batteries rather than button batteries..) so i’m really happy to have a new one for the excitement (also $20 is significantly better than the $60 i paid for EACH of my m!x’s…) and i hope to get new connections too.. i think the only thing they could do to make a shell cooler than this one would be to have it glow in the dark!
genuinely so happy to have this! i might have to buy another so i can have a display one and one that i don’t have to worry about feeling bad if i damage it….
UPDATE-first try and i got mimitchi!!
