Pokémon and Mario showbags at Royal Easter Show

Posted 22nd of March, 2010 at 04:54 pm by Infernal Monkey Infernal Monkey is online now

Holy crap, Sydney's Royal Easter Show is almost here again! Smell the manure! Exchange sweat with others! Put balls in a clown's mouth to win a novelty comb that just ends up cutting your fingers somehow! Wait half an hour to spend three seconds on a rust-bucket ride!

But that also means the Nintendo-themed showbags are back. This year you'll be able to pick up a 'Nintendo bag' and a 'Pokémon' (it's not a 'Pokémon bag', it's just Pokémon).

$20

1 X Pokémon Backpack
1 X Pokémon Cooler Bag
1 X Pokémon Stop Watch
1 X Pokémon 3D Tumbler
1 X Pokémon Sticker Book
1 X Pokémon Key Ring
1 X Pokémon Wrist Band
1 X Pokémon DVD

$22

1 X Nintendo Backpack
1 X Nintendo DS Case And Accessories
1 X Nintendo Figure Keychain
1 X Nintendo Folder Kit

Hmm. They still have the $2 Bertie Beetle bag, so that's all that really matters. Sydney's Royal Easter Show kicks off April 1st and ends on the 14th.

Last time I went to one of these, all the colour of my Pokemon bag rubbed off on my leg.

I haven't gotten the Pokemon Showbag in years, they used to be so awesome with official merchandise and trading cards, now it's just novelty crap with a Pikachu chucked on it.

"Hey bro, I can't find the Pokemon Diamond & Pearl DVDs we were supposed to put in these bags full of Pokemon Diamond & Pearl stuff."
"Just use those Pokemon Advanced DVDs, nobody will notice."

WELL GUESS WHAT? I NOTICED, but I wouldn't waste money on showbags so whatever.

I don't live in Sydney either. lol

If anyone buys either of the bags, I will personally travel to your place of residence and punch you repeatedly in the face.

Very few showbags are worth it at these events, although I do say I love the warheads bags that give me what should be a months supply of sour drops (but for some reason only seem to last 5-6 days hehe)

Only suckers get the "novelty" showbags. Get the ones with food in them, people!

Kirby showbags for a 2012 Royal Show would be ideal!
