Estimated Cost
Still calculating o_O (I obtained many by purchasing lots & selling extras, so it's hard to tell)
Method Obtained

Logistics

Order Obtained
See "History" section of my collection website to see how I collected each and every one of these! (History section<-- WIP, will post again when it's completed)
Notable feats
- Did not post a wants post for any one plush (But I did mention "Wants List" updates in my sales posts)
- I had five Espeons pass through my hands o_O
- I collected two boxed sets of the Friends Plush Special (1998) mini's: one open, one minty
- I have two Satoshi/Ash's (extra was obtained in a lot)
- Yes I still have extras... to be sold....sometime soon...
A Note on Repeats
- It should be noted that all Pokemon in Set 9 (2000) are repeated in later Sets:
* Totodile, Blissey, and Mareep appear again later in Set 11 (2000)
* Hoppip and Smeargle appear again in Set 12 (2001)
- Other repeats:
* Bulbasaur in Set 3 (1998) seems to appear again in Set 12 (2001)
* Piplup in Set DP1 (2007) appears again in Set DP2 (2008)
- Most were obtained unboxed, so it was impossible to tell which set it was especially if they had the same year on the tush tag
- Thus, I decided to collect ONE of each repeating pokemon, to a: not hoarde, and b:
- I attempted seeking a 2001 Smeargle and a 2001 Bulbasaur, but every repeat to pass through my hands had only the original years of release on them (the ones they first appeared in)
