What should I buy for my first color Tamagotchi?

I am looking at the Meets, M!x, and Sanrio M!x in particular, though I am open to other suggestions. The P seems to be quite expensive so is likely not an option for me. I''d like to stay around $100 or less from a reputable seller. I don't care if it's Japanese-only since there are guides in English.

I have the Ps and the new Meets (magical). I also have the 4U+. I may be a little biased, but the Meets is, so far, my favorite. I'm still figuring out the little quirks and games, but they's very fun and easy to understand. I like the Ps, but yes...they are pricey. I have two, and don't use them much, anymore. I much prefer the family tree/ genetics, locations, and achievements you can get with the Meets. The 4U+ is also easy to understand, but it doesn't have as many features as the other two. However, it is a great model for someone who has a very busy schedule and just wants something to sort of fiddle with. I WAS going to get a M!X until I saw the pre-order for the Meets, and I'm happy with my decision. I might still get a M!X in the future, but maybe after I get my way through the Meets

I honestly have enjoyed every tama I've ever had, from the little guys in the 90s (when I was a kid) all the way up to the latest model. I don't think you can go wrong in whichever you choose

I'd go for an iD L, it's not too expensive (at least if bought used) and very fun, they pop on JapanYouWant from time to time. In general even a P's (that's the full name btw, not just P) can show up on JapanYouWant for about 70$, even with a pierce (and those usually cost 25$ a piece when loose) so I'd just look there. Don't be afraid to buy used units if you're a beginner collector.

Meets is a quite okay version, I'd go for it rather than the M!X unless you prefer the M!X characters.

Thanks guys! I think I am going to start with the Meets, but also keep my eyes open for an iD L. I appreciate the advice!
