I belong to a not-so-rich family. So i usualy go to the fake tamas since i cant afford a real one. I need help! Ive seen some floating around on ebay. They look like knock offs but i dont know where their coming from. What does ES stand for? The fake dinkie dinos look cool too! Please HELP!!!

Hi! I would also like to add these links for your shopping options :

However, I highly recommend the "Vintage Color Screen pet" in the link provided by Hayden. It's called a "Tamagezi", a Chinese color screen knockoff vpet. I own one of those, and I can tell you it's worth it! ^_^ Take note, though, that it's in Chinese, and there are no language options, but it's very easy to navigate. Here's a video of it if you want to see its functions:

I hope this helps ^_^ good luck finding the right Tamagotchi for you! happy tamashopping!

Buy a vintage... used. Or a color... used... some type... used.

Hong Kong box still looks bootleg to me and I know its real. Lol.

Otherwise, save your money for something worth while.

Aliexpress, Just remember shipping fees aren't as cheap as the item. You pay more for the shipping fees if you are not where they are located... Oh and paypal is "locked" for some silly reason for the USA... suuu.... they lost me as a potential buyer because of it. (Regardless they "unlocked" it for me)

Agreed. I have a couple of Tamagotchi knockoffs, as well as some non-Tamagotchi-brand vpets, and none of them hold my interest for as long as actual Tamagotchis. I find that "real" Tamagotchis are better in terms of the variety of characters you can get, the features they have, and how user-friendly they are. They're just more fun!

Sometimes on eBay you can find used Tamagotchis for very inexpensive prices! Check often and be patient, something will show up
