They're not released yet. As Jhud said, some private retailers in Poland and Spain have already received early shipments and are selling them locally, but other than that, they're not being officially released anywhere until at the very earliest next month. I've seen various release dates, such as December 1st and December 9th, as well as the UK release dates December 26th and the newer, earlier projected date. They'll also be available in the US from Spring 2014. I don't really think that you'll be able to get one much sooner than next mid-December.
Yeah, i understand that they haven't been released. But hey, if somebody got them already then i have a shot at it too. Might as well try, y'know?
Haha, I know what you mean. I've looked into a few things already and decided that it was best to wait until the UK release date, for me.
As stated before, this Tamagotchi's main features are bumping and Dream Town. But because you cannot do either yet, it just seems boring to all of you. XPI'd just wait for them to be released in stores. Seriously, this version is not worth 40$. Both me and Carol and also our another friend are already bored with it, not sure how other tamafans would like it, but I'd hate to see people who waited anxiously to get their tama and then getting dissapointed...
I'd even sell or trade my one if I wasn't a collector who wants every version.
I was happy to hear that they may be in stores again, but ever since I found out about the new ones in more detail I just been really disappointed. I know a lot of people are, and if so many of us tama collectors feel that way I worry about people who aren't into tamagotchis so much. I just hope parents buy a bunch for their kids to make sales good so we can maybe get something better later on. It's all more of the same, and I hate having a connection to another website.I'd just wait for them to be released in stores. Seriously, this version is not worth 40$.

Yeah well it wss just an idea for a better platform to play online with I just don't think many kids will be using a computer to play drean town on I mean these days you see kids down the street playing with an ipad.
And the price, yaaay! That's perfect. 
Ha ha, I feel kind of like Bandai has always advertised subsequent Tamagotchi versions like it hasn't been released since the 1990s. Of course, that's probably because it's never had the same popularity explosion that it saw back then. The tama has become very niche in its modern iterations although that doesn't have to be a bad thing provided that the core fanbase is catered to
Agreed on both points: if they have plushies, I'm going to be buying them up, and $20 is just the price point I wanted to see for the unit itself. As for the 24 characters question, it's hard to tell because that information could have been lost in translation. If I had to guess based on past versions I'd say 24 total characters across all stages, but 24 different adults would be awesome, especially if you could keep them as "friends forever."^ AH! That Mametchi plush is so adorable I want it! I hope they sell plushes and stuff as well when the TMGC Friends is released. <3 So it has 24 adult characters, or 24 characters in total?
