Hey Tamagotchi fans! If you were a kid in the mid-2000s, you probably remember the Tamagotchi Connection. It took the original Tamagotchi virtual pets from the ’90s and added an awesome new feature: you could connect two devices for playdates and share items with friends. There were many versions!
Recently, demand for the Tamagotchi Connection line has skyrocketed as those 2000s kids have grown up and are feeling nostalgic. These devices now sell for crazy high prices on sites like eBay. Depending on the design and condition, you might pay between $80 and $150 for a single device that originally cost twenty bucks and wasn’t even rare. Fans have been begging Bandai to bring back these beloved Tamas instead of releasing endless variations of the same old Gen 1/2 models. And finally, the wait is over!
That’s right—a brand new release of the Tamagotchi Connection is up for preorder on Amazon for just $30 and is set to ship in July.
