Please Note! USA supply is currently pretty limited to local stores (you can read notes from many frustrated shoppers on forums talking about having to drive great distances or check multiple stores to find their Tamagotchi Connection pets). We recommend shopping online instead to save yourself from the hassle. An added bonus to online shopping... Some locations have lower prices for online purchases!
