    Sadly I've been pretty dry in wins lately myself *cries.* Still hoping to win that shiny Celebi before it goes away. Or that they bring back Jirachi so I can win that. Congrats to you both on some awesome wins!

    The time is upon us...

    You'll get something soon, I'm sure. I had a long dry spell for a while, too. I'll admit, some of my wins were like just dumbfounding where I was shocked no one was trying for it and they just left it one or two plays away from winning it.

    Lately, I've been trying for that Eevee pillow and boy, that thing is stubborn. XD

    I won these two since the last win with Ampharos. The second one is for that 1st Movie Pikachu, the one holding the black envelope thing (usually featured alongside that Dragonite with the messenger bag).

    So far I'm up to six fairly decent-sized plushies now, which is great considering I've only spent $10 on Toreba just to get those daily tickets. That's like only a $1.67 per plushie, which is crazy good for these!
    Yes. XD As for how, tapjoy. Looooots of tapjoy and finding the good games. I spend a few dollars on some games that give me LOTS of tp. Others I don't have to pay anything. Also practice on the actual crane games, I got really good at one kind a month-ish ago, and won a ton of stuff from machines with that setup. As for where I stash them well right now I have several on my bed + shelves plus others in my plush hammock (which I keep my pokemon plushies in), some I'm going to sell when I get around to it. For the bigger ones I want to have a little reading area/plush pile in the corner of my room when I finally get around to rearranging things. XD My wins from the past few months haven't come yet (they're BIG orders and covid has screwed things up so I understand the wait) and I have some from there I'm gonna sell so I'll probably wait till they get here to sell all the stuff I want to.

    That's awesome you won more! (And pokemon too!) I have WEIRD luck with pokemon. I seem to win only specific kinds (lately my thing has been vulpixses...I won a lot of vulpixes XD) and others I can't manage to get. I seem to have the most luck with vulpix, growlithe, and raichu - doesn't matter the size/style of the pushie, I always seem to get those. XD The leafeon/glaceon I won yesterday were my first eevee-related wins actually. I've never won a pikachu...despite there being lots of them. XD I DID win a pichu the other day though. o:

    Yeah that's a REALLY good deal for them! With my tapjoy stuff I've gotten so many plushies (I don't even have an exact count XD) for probably like $20-25. Which is great because I don't have much money, and selling some of them can help with that.

    Don't give up! O: You're the one who got me into Toreba and inspired me to give it a try. And I get weeks where I have stupid dry spells but the luck always comes back eventually. Good luck on getting that celebi!

    I've had those wins too, or ones where people keep getting in and out of line but nobody plays, and I'm finally just like "screw it" and get the prize in one try. XD Also have you ever had a stuck-on-claw win? I had a pretty funny one a while ago. XD

    I haven't tried for the eevee pillow but now I'm curious about it. O: Honestly I could try to win it (if the machine isn't total crap) and the celebi and send them to you guys if you paid for shipping? Obviously not a guarantee I'd win 'em but I could give it a go....might take a loooong time to get to me though because shipping delays with large orders and I already have some in my cart. XD

    Aww, well thanks for the vote of confidence! =3. Yeah sometimes it takes awhile, but it's been quite a few months now. I'm sure I'll get lucky sooner or later. I just hope it's before the Celebi disappears xD. Or if a Jirachi shows up. I already know if one does my wallet will feel like its trying to jump out...and I'd rather try to not spend another dime on this. Unless I have to.

    I hope you do too! I'll keep an eye out on the celebi machines. O:

    Neo Emolga (I'm too stupid to know how to tag), is this the one you wanted?

    Hey, nice one! Yeah, those Eevee pillows can be pretty tricky, most of the attempts I've made on them usually result in a small budge at best, but still haven’t come close. Usually I try to latch onto and drag over the one corner of it that's barely clinging on, or I try pressing down on the area that I think will have the most impact, but it just doesn't quite do what I was hoping it would. :P

    I tried the machine that has the pinball setup for that Eevee pillow, curious to see how it worked though that's totally based on luck. Wasn't quite as showy as I thought it would be (the ball ended up just going plop after hitting the wall) but it was fun to try.

    Still, congrats on yet another nice win! Do you plan on keeping it or selling it?

    We should work together! With my dumb luck and skills and your skills and luck combine. We can win anything in Toreba! All 3 of us together would be unstoppable xD.

    I actually tried again last night. Saw someone win 2 of the shiny Celebi back to back. Didn't quit once they won the first and won again in 3-5 turns. I tried to mimic them and almost got it. Should've taken one extra turn like I thought to move it more to the left...oh well.

    Hopefully next time!

    I just got my shiny Celebi yesterday. It's a great plush, hopefully you can win one of your own. :3 I'm still seeing them around so you still have a chance.
