peasinaA simple post today! Pics (and gifs) of five things from my Magnemite collection that I love ^^
1. Re-Ment Pokemon Terrarium Collection
I still can't believe I own this! I got extremely lucky with my eBay alerts and bought this thirty seconds after the listing went live, hah. I don't think the seller knew (or maybe they didn't care?) how rare this one is because it was a steal. I love my happy little babies playing with electricity ^^
2. Legendary Holo
Another thing I can't believe I own!! This is Magnemite's reverse holo from the Legendary collection (2002). It needed a GIF to do it justice. This is probably my most prized card from my Magnemite master set, which I might make a separate post about soon ^^
3. Pokemon Center Japan Keyring
Look!! They have a bow tie π₯Ήπ₯Ήπ₯Ή
4. EX FireRed & LeafGreen (2004)
This is actually my second time buying this card. The first one was lost in the post π But they're finally here and in my hands! I lovvvveeeee the holo pattern so much.
5. Pokemon Collector Marble (2000)
This webpage about the marble line is such an interesting read. I do remember these from my childhood, but only through friends owning them. I didn't find them as interesting as the cards/stickers* at the time, so I didn't have any of my own. I'm very happy to have Magnemite now and am glad they're in good condition despite rolling around in a pouch for 25 years!
*I've been slowly trying to complete my original Pokemon sticker album recently. It's been... challenging but fun! I might have to make a post about that soon too...
Thank you for looking! Which one do you like best? :D

Date: 2025-09-23 12:31 pm (UTC)My sole memory of the Legendary reverse holos was someone trying to trade one of theirs with me on the playground and me, being a small silly child, told them that it was obviously a fake card as Pokemon cards didn't make holofoils like that XD
I LOVE how expressive Magnemite's little ^ can be!
PS: I love your icon π₯Ή

(Aww, haha, yeah it's so soft, isn't it? I got it from

Date: 2025-09-24 09:57 am (UTC)My wording was bad but Iβd be making another post about the master set rather than this one card, though I suspect this one card will steal the show :P
My eBay alert was, thankfully, just for the terrarium. Otherwise youβre right, Iβd constantly be getting alerts about Magnemite cards! Youβve reminded me that I need to set another up for this figure set: https://jazwarespokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Select_Environment_and_Figure_Display_Pack:_Wave_5_-_Magnemite_%26_Trubbish (Iβm on mobile right now - hope the link works!) πͺ
