Hi I am from New Zealand and they definitley sell them here and they are reliable too. I have heard of Tamagotchis from other countrys doing weird things and conking out but they dont in NZ. What country do you come from now? Although you may not want to buy online it may be your only option. Try going to www.google.co.nz and look up buying Tamagochis. I did this for a friend that wanted to buy online. I can not remember the website but there is a good site when you do that search that is very helpful and reliable. Please let me know if this helps. I hope so.
