I wish I could afford Bokksu, but $50 USD a month is pretty steep...I wish they'd offer a half size and offer a shellfish/seafood free option. I'd be cool with 10-12 snacks for $25/mo, especially if there wasn't any squid, crab, etc.

As a owner of a tomagachi myself I will tell u the instructions because I have the same type of tomagachi. Answer 1: the button on the left is to choose different things Answer 2: the button in the middle is to select games or to select what food to feed it Answer 3: the button to your right is the button to go out of anything, so like if your in a game u can press it and it will take u out of the game. You can also press it to out of the energy/where u feed it section. Answer 4: To play the first game (the one that u have to dodge the rockets) you need to press the button on the left to dodge it (problem is you can’t control/tell it where to go) Question time: what happens if it dies? My tomogachi died like last week but usually it comes back to life after some time after. (MAKE HER SEE THIS PLS)

Wow, that went downhill fast. I'm from Germany where advent calendars were invented, so this is personal to me. Over here, we celebrate and get our presents on Christmas Eve, December 24, so door 24 is supposed to be special! Instead, they picked what's easily the worst item of the entire disappointing calendar. Dear advent calendar producers: A discount code should never ever be the only surprise of the day, it just feels like a cheap way to push another order on you.

[@JackOfAllTrades24_7]

I got an advent calendar every year, and I like to do my research and pick one that Jackie does!

[@solarismagnum]

The shipping is probably one of the more valuable parts of the whole thing. Yeah, shipping from Japan to NA is expensive but EMS does not mess around. One time I ordered a package from Japan on 12/21 and with EMS shipping it was at my house on 12/24! Trying to excuse the terrible value of the items in the calendar itself because of shipping costs is such an incredible cop out because Japanese post didn't drop the ball - Sugoi Mart did.

[@allisonb8912]

Would make more sense if they lowered the price of the calendar and just charged for shipping. But they probably know that high shipping costs are a big deterrent for purchasers, so instead they raised the price of the calendar to try to trick you into thinking you're getting a $250 value.

[@Gamyeon]

It’s also still quite silly for them to blame shipping because even if you count that shipping price and let’s say we forgo the VAT and customs Jackie had to pay, the value still doesn’t come up to the 150$ price point (it barely reaches 80$). Scam through and through.

[@Jazzatic2011]

Can agree. Travelling friend sent over some items in a box via mail. It arrived overseas within the week if not days.

[@mattiekitty]

Oh no! It started out so well 😩 I think the novelty of Japanese treats and toys are worth it if you never go to Japan in person, but that is way too much to charge for the box. I would pay maybe $50 for the whole thing and be okay with that. I’ve seen this advertised everywhere and am glad I didn’t get too far into it. Thanks for taking one for the team, Jackie 🧂

[@FreePigeon]

For anyone interested, the Tamagotchi is a typical Tamagotchi Nano called Evatchi (Evangelion x Tamagotchi) and is worth about £20-30 or $25-$35usd. Nano tamas definitely have a huge following but they are certainly cheap compared to the mainline ones.

[@meikaze13]

I'm a huge Tamagotchi collector!! I also collect a bunch of other virtual pets too~ Editing now that I am at the end of the video: Unfortunately SugoiMart has always been a huge ripoff, at least from what I have seen and I have heard of from my Tamagotchi groups. I'm sorry this brought out so much salt, but thank you for revealing the truth for the rest of us because the box is SO CUTE. Them reaching out to say they're taking a "hit" making this really just speaks that they probably should not have bothered making one of these 😢

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

I've helped a few of my friends get stuff from Japan in the past including Tamagotchi and honestly it's more work but in the end just going on sites like Yahoo auction and others and using as shopping service is much cheaper and you get so much more stuff to choose from. I also made really good experiences in ebay with gaming related items from Japan and for a while even had a direct contact to a small private Japanese reseller because a friend of mine owns a used electronics store with a specialisation in retro gaming. That Japanese guy was so helpful but sadly stopped shipping worldwide due to the pandemic and even domestically.. Many of those stores like SugoiMarket just sell items for a ridiculous markeup

@@Userhandleidk in terms of tamagotchi prices, more or less!

Here in the UK it’s quite difficult and expensive to get even the cheapest and most common Japanese items, and as a result, pretty much anything and everything from there becomes a novelty. I feel like companies like this take complete advantage of that and hype up/overprice things that are cheap, everyday items in Japan. If you’re someone who has been to Japan or lives in a country with a lot of trade with Japan, it’s easy to know that it’s a rip off. But if not, you’re less likely to know the actual value and you can fall into the trap

Those guns are amazingly flavored though. They taste great

[@Just1Nora]

I've never seen them...I must live in the boonies and not realize. 😅

[@SourRazberry]

@@Just1Nora I’ve seen them! but I also live in one of the big US cities. If there’s any store with international imports near you (any local Asian market, H Mart, Cost Plus World Market) you might be able to find em if you look hard enough.

[@Just1Nora]

@@SourRazberry Oh I'm not doubting that. I live in the suburbs outside of a large city, but it's still not one of the top 10 or probably even 25 largest...

@@Just1Nora we have a small, local Asian market that’s named for the owner. You could also try Amazon.

Don't worry about your Tamagotchi, it is not dead it is in it's cocoon stage. After that stage it will evolve into it's final stage and after a couple of days if you give it some care it will go away and you can restart and get different characters.😊

I got a chuckle out of your first line, "It is worth your trash."😂 Giving birth to those round objects looked painful! All the sweets came with lots of salt. Sorry for a Japanese disappointment, Jackie! 🤬

I had to go back and turn on subtitles just to make sure that I read that right. It might have been a Freudian slip, but strangely prophetic. Jackie, do you have some abilities we don't know about yet? 🤔🤨 By the way, my date is the 3rd, so I have the "honor" of being one of the few sweets that was sorta worthwhile.

[@lisagardner9248]

It started so strong, but wow this was bad!

[@ragingchaosgod]

Twisted Wonderland is a gacha game! And AH! You got my favorite boy! The cast of Twisted Wonderland was "twisted" (read: inspired by) the Disney villains. Riddle in particular was twisted from the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. The whole thing was designed and written by Yana Toboso of Black Butler fame. I totally recommend looking into it. It's one of my favorite canon right now. There's a manga series and a bunch of light novels out rn if you're not into the gacha gameplay but want to check it out. Also I got Furikake on my birthday day on this calendar.

[@ITS-CASEY]

“ worth our trash.” is so funny😂❤

[@sophiesstopmotionstudios4927]

Why did I expect the chocolates to be like mini brands toy chocolate 😆 Also I think the bunny wrapped in the leaf is actually a slug 😂

[@SpookyDollLady]

i thought maybe a sea bunny? wrapped up like sushi?

[@sophiesstopmotionstudios4927]

Well, if you look at its belly, you can see flowy pink attachment And if u look up Japanese slug plush, it has the same flowy attachment. I also believe it’s bunny ears could be the antennas. But it could definitely be a bunny! But I think it’s one of those Kawaii slug plushies. Either way, it’s adorable.

[@SpookyDollLady]

@@sophiesstopmotionstudios4927 A sea bunny is a species of sea slug (jorunna parva). They're usually white, but they look kinda similar to the illustration on the tag which is why I thought maybe it might be that. They're called sea bunnies bc they have unusually stocky antennae that look like bunny ears, and they almost look fluffy. They're really cute!

[@sophiesstopmotionstudios4927]

@@SpookyDollLady OH okay I had no idea what a sea bunny was so I figured u said it was just a bunny, sorry about that! 😅 I will look it up, they sound really cool!

[@SpookyDollLady]

@@sophiesstopmotionstudios4927 That's okay! I wish more people knew about them, I think they're really interesting. Sea slugs don't get a lot of attention compared to other ocean animals, but I think they're really beautiful.

[@artiefoxx4360]

*Grabby hands* At the figure you said you were keeping wrapped. That’s Yuta Okkotsu from Jujustu Kaisen! 0 is what actually got me into the series…and I loved Yuta. X;DDD Sorry for that, just wanted to say. I’m legit glad I watched this all the way through I actually had the Preorder screen up and shut it after watching. Glad I dodged that bullet. Thank you Jackie!! Love your videos!

[@babydollsaiko]

I think it's funny that she likes the series but didn't recognize Yuta lol which is why I'm assuming she hasn't read or seen JJK 0 lol

[@artiefoxx4360]

Right? I was going, Jackie, your Mochi’s in the background!!! But I kinda had the same thought that she just hadn’t seen the movie or read the Manga yet. Which I also get, I started JJK and watched a few episodes. And while I enjoyed it I just didn’t fall in love with it… I live in a smaller town and our local theater the closest to an Anime movie we’d gotten in the past was Ponyo. My best friend and I actually drove 2 hours just to see one of the Academia movies. They’ve stepped up since the pandemic hit and we’ve gotten Mugan Train, JJK 0, and Super Hero locally. So when I saw JJK 0 was on I was I know enough to be dangerous, I’ll go see it. Little did I know it was a prequel and I hadn’t gotten far enough to know any of the characters. X;DDD Still loved it, and it got me interested enough to finish the series. Which I adore now… So I figured this was similar. X;DDD

I honestly had never seen that particular advent calendar until now. When I first saw it I was like "Yes! A Japanese themed advent calendar!" Then I was like "OK, I do not think I am going to buy this one after all." That is quite a sum of money to spend on so-so stuff. Honestly, based on what I have seen as far as the snack things go, if I want Japanese snacks, I will just get something from Bokksu.

I can't believe the company reached out to you (still basically admitting it was a rip-off because the cost of shipping would have never made up the $150 difference) and thought that would clear the air. One of the surprises was a freaking 25% off coupon! What the heck?!

[@Onest00p1d_vampire]

Definitely heard of Twisted Wonderland, matter of fact I play the game myself and man is it fun! The game itself is a mix between a card RPG, a rhythm game, and a visual novel. Still waiting for more news on the anime unfortunately because so far we haven't heard anything 🥲 A little fun fact, if you've read Black Butler then the art style should be pretty familiar as the characters are all designed by the same mangaka

[@Mckevittandy]

[@FallenAngelHiroko]

Yeah. One of the character's looked straight up like if Ciel and Sebastian had a baby. Jade Leech is the name. Hell, all 3 look like they're a palette swap of Black Butler almost.

The second bathbomb is from an anime called Uma Musume : Pretty Derby. It's about "horse girls" who run Kentucky Derby type racing tournaments. The girls usually have hilarious names like Special Week, or Grass Wonder. The character you got was Haru Urara.

[@addybishop308]

I got the exact same advent calendar. It came with the same stuff, same days. Only differences were a different figure from the same set, different flavors of candies ect. I got the coupon too. One thing I noticed on the website was the advent calendar pictured was different. There’s a blueish one and a green one. It’s got 2 big boxes as the end days and it’s only 25 days. I think they mixed up the advent calendar and 30 days of Japan. Normally advents are 25 days. I got the other and it was the same type of stuff. Many days with candy. The capsule toys were really hard to get out. It’s cheap stuff. I ordered a New Years lucky bag so hopefully better

Glad I'm not the only one who is excited and getting ready for Christmas since the November 1st! My country doesn't celebrate thanksgiving, so basically, after Halloween, the stores are instantly beginning to stock up their shelves with Christmas items!

[@SourRazberry]

Funny enough, the US celebrates Thanksgiving but still starts cramming shelves full of Christmas stuff sometimes at the same time as Halloween stuff.

[@snakewithapen5489]

@@SourRazberry oh God I hate that, hate it so much. I'm okay with them bringing Christmas decor out shortly after Halloween, bc a lot of people don't celebrate Thanksgiving as a holiday to decorate for. But Christmas and Halloween are both big DECORATING holidays, and they have completely different vibes!! You need to wait until one is done before you can start selling merchandise for the other!!! At the very least, don't have your storefront decorate for Xmas on October 19th

To answer your question about the figurine at 6:15 He is a member of the KPOP group BTS. They put out little Tiny Tan shorts before with animated characters of themselves. They also have little characters with Line Friends called BT21 (they are mainly Animals there). Hope this helps a bit, Jackie. 💜

I’m from Australia and we have quite a variety of advent calendars. You can get basic ones that just have a little chocolate in each day. Or ones that have stationary, actually from popular companies like Smiggle, but they’re expensive, about $80 if I remember correctly. Or you can get ones that are little wooden boxes in a little shelf(?) shaped as a Christmas tree, that you can put your own stuff in. You can even get Lego ones. In 2021 I got one that has little Harry Potter Legos in it, which is pretty cool because they actually go with the Lego sets you can buy. Going back to the ones with chocolate. You can get ones with Lindt chocolate (my favourite) or a Cadbury one that’s huge, and has the mini sized bars in it. Edit: my birthday is the 5th (not in December) so I guess I’m only work 10-30 cents…..

I was Fuji erasers. 😭 Glad you were honest about this. I got excited in the beginning and almost got one for me and my siblings (so that would have been $600). Would have been soooooo disappointed if I had paid that much for just cheap snacks when I can go to several asian markets in my state for way better quality snacks and food.
