I just received the V4 I ordered off Ebay and guess what? It's a V4.5!It looks like a V4 (doesn't have the star antenna) but has all the V4.5's games, characters, jobs etc. I have heard of some V4.5s which had the V4's shell design but the seller definitely described the tamagotchi as being a V4 and there wasn't much way of knowing that it wasn't. I like the shell design and the V4 and V4.5 are very similar anyway so I'm not complaining but I did notice that this seller has listed (and sold) a great number of these V4.5s in V4 shells as being V4s. It's not his fault for not knowing that they're V4.5s as they look identical to V4s but I didn't want anyone else to get caught out. I also contacted the seller just to let him know he's selling V4.5s in case anyone makes a complaint.

Here is the link to the tamagotchi I brought:

I can't look at the tamagotchi you bought because i live in France. This is really weird, that's the first time I hear about it. I hope you enjoy your 4.5 anyway

I took a look at the seller's feedback... ouch, that's a lot of recent negatives.

Maybe I should have checked their feedback before buying it! Oh well, I'm having a lot of fun with my "v4.5 in disguise" anyway lol. Here's a picture of the tamagotchi by the way:

I bought one of them too. I was actually REALLY happy to get a V4.5, because I love the V4.5, even more than the V4. But I don't think the seller should be blamed, I'm quite knowledgeable about Tamas and I mistook it for a V4. They just need to be notified so they can change the title.

Yeah, always make sure to check the seller's feedback before you purchase from them. If they have a lot of recent negatives - buyer beware!

 

I'm glad that it ended happily and you are enjoying your v4.5 in disguise. There's more than meets the eye! :)

Yeah, this seems a persistent problem with sites like eBay and Amazon. You can never guarantee what you are actually buying. However at least they have a 'feedback' feature, though that cannot guarantee your purchase. My cousin recently ordered a tamagotchi ID L thinking it was an ID Le, the seller had clarified it was an English version despite it being the standard Japanese one. I guess its the risk we take:D and I'm glad you're happy with your 4.5, it's lovely c:

Acually, that series of designs (the ones with the characters on the shell and beads on the chain) are all v4.5's in the form of v4's. Some that have just beads aren't v4.5's but the ones with characters AND beads are.
