This Tamagotchi was released in France in a single toy store chain (JouéClub). There were only 8500 of them for the whole country (physical and web shop) and everything was sold out 10 minutes after the opening ! So I couldn't get one...
The store announced on twitter that it could not get more stocks from Bandai : "It's already been complicated to have 8500 pieces for all of France."
I would have liked to buy one for my collection (and also because it's tiny and cute), but I prefer my Japanese tamagotchi in colour! These versions look much too simplified.
I hope that Bandai will take advantage of this success to try to relaunch a new modern tamagotchi with colour screen outside of Japan.
