Earlier this year, Kotaku reported that a bunch of plush toys based on the first gen Pokémon plushies were going on sale in Japan. Twitter user Sekai bought all of them.
The total cost? Roughly 180,000 yen or $2194.
That, it seems, does include sales tax.

一昨日Tweetした151匹のぬいぐるみたちを一般家庭で飾ってみたらこうなった。
実はこの棚、ぬいぐるみ発売2ヶ月前から151匹のぬいぐるみを飾る目的の為だけに予めニトリで購入してました笑 pic.twitter.com/S8lMiBe1M5— せかい (@sekai1215) November 18, 2018

Rad collection tho
to be fair it works about to be about 15 dollars per plushie which really isn’t that costly
Import it into Australia, ends up about $50 because of fuck you tax. =P
prob have to add more dollars for postage, handling and parcel tracking
I have no trust in Aus post =p
Signature on arrival…
OMG I WANT THAT CLEFAIRY!!!!!!!!
[Leave a blazing trail all the way to Japan.]
Now why would someone want 151 Pokemon plushies for 180,000 yen or $2194 including sales tax?
I think that’s ridiculous purchasing all 151 Pokemon at a very expensive price for under $2200.
$15 a plushie is pretty good
Here they tend to skew at around $25 a pop wich is ridiculous
Id buy that whole collection at that price, youd save so much and plus having all 151 original pokemon has more sort of satisfaction than just having your favourites (like i have every original eeveelution, its nor nearly as meaningful as the whole set of first gen pokemon)
