I GOT MY BOX YAAAYYY!!
Guys I'm so excited MoonbeamStar did such an incredible super awesome amazing job! I opened it in the car while my girlfriend was driving us around and just kept screeching hahaha. I love everything !
Let's start with the extras..l
So funny story, MoonbeamStar and I had a lot in common, so much so that I requested from Tiki to have her as my partner. She'd already been assigned to someone else though, but my little brain never thought that tiki would be so smart as to make ME Moonbeamstar's partner!! So clever.
First thing I saw was adorable 90s pokemon stickers all over the box! Already getting sooooo pumped!

he's in the photo below later with the other art cards.
Next, I opened the card which said "open me first" on the envelope. visitors can't see pics , please

I had never seen those sour gummies before, we must not get them here. I was a little afraid to try them but oh my gosh are they ever delicious!
The next extras were beautiful keychains from two of my favourite anime shows ! Sailor Moon and Madoka Magica! I opened sailor moon first and loved it, and opened a second similar shaped package and was so shocked and excited to see the madoka Magica one. It even has all three of my favourite characters from the show on it!!

I should mention, my wishlist was incredibly sparse so MoonbeamStar has done an amazing job of finding things I would love with hardly any guidance at all Ahaha.
Next, I opened this box of pokemon cards...

OH MY WOW!! And so many of them are foil sparkly beautiful ! I loooove foil cards (who doesn't?) I also really like each and every pokemon in the group. The Eevee, jigglypuff, sylveon and Xerneas go down as biggest faves.
I also found these adorable butterfree cards in the box :

I also wanted to give you a nice little Pokemon collection "starter kit", since you mentioned not really having a collection. We also have matching (sorta-ish) keychains! I have the Chibi Moon version of the Sailor Moon one I got you, and I have a keychain with Mami, Kyoko and Sayaka on it. Shopping for you felt just like shopping for one of my best friends!
I payed for slightly faster shipping than normal because I feel absolutely terrible. Work has swamped me more than I could even imagine but I don't want you to think your box isn't coming ! It is! And I hope what's inside makes up for the long wait
