Just to be clear... Farley won't actually be doing anything to you, he's just reminding you of the deep shame you might bring upon yourself among the community!

Ooh noo I'd never want that to happen.
 
the gyroid is throwing the apricorns that haven't been turned into pok?balls
 
prolly missed an announcement but will more sakuras be restocked? it's been at 150 sold for a day or two :0
 
Why don't they make all collectibles available for anyone at any time? I'm not saying that they should, I'm wondering why they don't. I'm sure there's a reason, just I'm not sure what it is. Why not just allow everyone to decorate their sidebars with whatever cute little symbols that they want, without having them be limited or costing TBT bells or anything?

Just curious about the reasoning behind the system, not saying it should change.

the reason why is in the name... collectible...
 
I don't understand. Can you explain?

Collectibles are just that: something you can collect. When you collect anything from Amiibo to trading cards, some things are rarer than others because of various factors (amount produced, promotions, exclusive retailers, etc.). In the case of TBT collectibles, what makes them collectible is the quantity available, when the collectible arrived in circulation/timestamps (which are important for ordering collectibles a certain way in lineups and can make certain collectibles very rare like the 2018 Orange & Purple Candy since they were only given out as a prize for example), and how appealing it is to the beholder. Depending on the quantity available and how many people find a given collectible appealing/want it, that is what determines the value of it (essentially, supply & demand). I hope that explains why TBT collectibles are the way they are! ;)

Aw but Bianca, it would look so nice with your Sweet Feather! I will see whether I can get you one before the month ends, I'm waiting for this one trade that might take all of my TBT but if that doesn't go through or if I have any TBT left, I'll buy you one on the house! :)

Aww this is so sweet of you Nougat <3 but yes I got one already thank you so much..I was just not showing it because the sweet feather is so nice by itself already lol...Well it looks like I might have to display it since you and Vaati thinks it's nice!! But your spring shamrock line up though!! its so cute!!

- - - Post Merge - - -

They've bought a blossom from me already. They even paid extra on top of what I asked (Shop price)

Thank you again! but yes I am now down to my last bells on the side bar but the thing is I don't need anymore bells since I got the collectible I want yay!! (thanks to Vanessa!)

Thank you Bianca! I got 5 shamrocks from an anonymous gifter & one from Yuki. So they're really special! Happy to be able to display them :)
I love the combo of your sweet feather and the Sakura. It looks really nice!

Thank you for explaining. I guess I never really got into the collecting mentality the way other people do, so it was kind of counter-intuitive to me. But I think I understand it now. Thanks. :)
 
I've never personally cared much about the rarity of collectibles. That's probably because the collectibles here rarely ever have that kick that motivates me to get one. The Pokeballs, on the other hand, are my all time favorites not because I love Pokemon but because of its simplicity. After a while of doing some art myself and building applications, I fell in love with the word "simple". You don't need something crazy or flashy to look great. (Less = More). If there was ever something like a leaf or fossil collectibles, I'd be all over them.

Though, I have to say I do love the challenge that comes with trying to obtain one of the more rare ones. Sorry for ranting, I'm sure no one cares. Just thought I'd put my two cents in if anyone was interested. Please don't kill me :|

I have collected a lot of things over the years, so I am a collector at heart ❤️ Lol ... the Collectibles are really only little bits of pixelated art (sometimes animated - ooooo) :rolleyes: For me also, because I have a need to complete sets, I am driven to acquire one of each ... and some are more desirable to me than others because of my likes, interests, and nostalgia and contest achievements ... and some are just so plain purty ... like the Sakura
The ones that I love and value the most however are the ones gifted to me by friends on the forum ... those ones I keep forever ❤️
PS ... I also love gifting Collectibles and giving away in contests or giveaways

Lol I've noticed this too, have to admit they were driving me crazy; trying to figure out what they'd be doing with it, and the fact that there's a bigger number of "bels" taunting my smaller number of actual bells, not being able to convert them or something lol.

2 years ago I made it my goal to collect every single pokemon... with their hidden ability (if still obtainable) in a luxury ball (an expensive and difficult to get ball)... it took me over a year and im still missing 20 :p Collecting is so dang fun, + it gives you incentive to do something (+ its fun having a pkmn breeders gimmick of a specific ball only, something very few other legitimate breeders offer)

I also have a huge winter mitten collection (visit my collectible page to see, many still aren't displayed because I haven't gotten back into the forums to get more puns...) but yeah, collectibles are really makes this forum fun.
