Almost 20 here and been a Tamagotchi fan since primary school (4th year of it) and sadly my interest in them faded a bit when I lost my second Tama ever, the only working tama I had at that time, then in 1st year of middle school I found a V4 in a store in my town, that got me many wonderful moments but it got lost, then in 3rd year of high school I found my V4 instructions with personal notes and got so nostalgic I had to get a tama even if it was the last thing I ever get, I ended up with a Tama Friends. I wasn't exactly satisfied with it, so I bought a V4 over the net from another person and then a Familitchi and finally my first color screen, my yellow P's. Later that year, in October, I got a tama that is an exact replica of my first tama ever- white v3 with pink flowers. I still have almost all of the tamas I bought during that period, I sold one. Never willing to give up tamas ever again, no matter what I happen to do in the future. Running my first P's and my only v3. In the meantime, during the tam boom period in my life, I started to listen to rock and metal music but despite trying to make my P's look more metal and a silverish case for my V3, I didn't modify my tamas much in order to make them fit my style.
TL;DR 20 and still going strong
