I called up Myer today, turns out that only the Melbourne and Sydney stores will be getting them. Melbourne doesn't have them yet, but has the display materials, and will be getting them any day now.
So for those of you who don't live in Melbourne or Sydney, sorry :P
Like everyone else said, we don't know about whether Tamagotchi Life will eventually get us a new Tamagotchi, but according to Anz Falcon (spokesperson for Tamagotchi Life I believe) the products Tamagotchi Life will be releasing are TamaDepa products from Japan. I'm pretty excited about this...
The V1 and Plus have the same relationship that the V5 and FamiTama have: they are exactly the same, except for the language, and possibly some minor localisation changes. They are 100% compatible. V1s and V5s can both connect to and marry their Japanese counterparts. Just for the record, V1s...
I always threw away the packaging of them. :/ And also I had them all on a lanyard, even when I have more than 10. I eventually stopped, but when I had about 12 Tamas on them they would all scratch each other and the lanyard would swing and they'd hit walls and everything.
I contacted Bandai South Asia via Facebook to see if they're still selling Tamagotchi iD Ls in Asia, because I was hoping they'd still be available on eBay closer to my birthday. This is what they said:
Bandai South Asia - Girls & Boys Toys Official Page
Me: Hi, are you still selling...
Anz, thanks for responding to our comments about T-life. I'm so sorry to hear that you cried when you saw the negative comments. Considering you're a Tamagotchi fan, and us Tamagotchi fans made such negative comments, I'm really sorry. But may I just say that while the marketing is a bit...
Hi! I'm guessing you're Anz Falcon from YouTube? If not, then ok... but if so then I'm so glad you've made an account here! Either way, welcome to the forum and enjoy yourself!
Have you been putting it to sleep instead of pausing it? Everytime your Angel wakes up, the age will increase by one. It shouldn't do any harm to the growth of your Angel, and it's not a sign of physical damage or anything. It's just you'll have a very Angel. :P
If worst comes to worst, though it may be easier, quicker and more satisfying, add this Tama to your "spare parts" box or sell it on eBay as "junk" or something, and buy yourself another P1. They're so cheap.
This theory has been tested by many people including myself, and though we don't know the technicalities it seems on the V2 and V3 the partner affects the child.
