Apparently, there's an expo for Tamagotchis going on in Japan or something (Can't really read Japanese)!

I went to "Tamagotchi EXPO" a few days ago.
So, I write a small report here.

Actually, the purpose of this event was to please young children.
And there was no interesting information of new Tamagotchi. :(

Love the pictures! Thanks so much for sharing them! :)

It looks like most adults would have been bored there though lol.

Ra,

Thank you for going and taking pictures to share with us, maotchi!!

It does look like it was aimed for the children, but it still looked SO cute! The 'tamagotchi museum' must be where they got some of the photos for some of the previous books from. Did they have any of the 'vintage' tamas there?

I wish Tamagotchi could be as popular in the US as it is in Japan.

That looks slightly boring, but so cute and interesting!! Even though I'm older than 7 years, I think I would still have liked to go there.
Thanks for the photos, and ditto to what atashi said (about Tamagotchi popularity outside of Japan), but also to other countries than US, like Australia!!

Yes, they had them from things released in 1996.

Atashi, !Gotchi-Gotchi!,
I also wish that Tamagotchi becomes popular in various countries!! :heart:

I wonder if they had to buy those things second-hand from a place like YJP, or if they really keep their older models in stock.

Ra,

^ I bet their employees had them from when they came out, I can't imagine working for Bandai or on Tamagotchi products without being a fan.

I've heard of the Tamagotchi Expo...well not really heard I seen it on the Japanese Tamagotchi Website...it does look intresting from the pictures posted ^^ I wish I could go though... :(

I think that they are the stocks of Bandai.
Because the act of leaving own products as data is common sense in Japanese company.

It looks cool but...to some people it would proboblly look strange for a 15 year old guy to be walking around at a Tama Expo :haha:
