Title: Waps? - A blast from the past.
Post by: Wolstenholme on November 17, 2013, 16:26

(Wasn't sure if this was the right section of the forums for this :/)

So I was rooting through some old stuff and I found my Pokemon Waps.

I'd forgotten about them but I was impressed - I had over half of them! I remember that my lucky wap was my Red Solrock wap.

For those who don't know what Waps are:
Waps came out after Gen III came out, they were small plastic squares with pictures of Pokemon/Trainers on them and you could play games with them, there was a big box that you could place them in after collecting each one.

I can't be all alone on this  :ohmy:

I suppose they were aimed at a younger audience but you bought them in like packs of 3.

I think I was about 8 at the time... so this is about 8 years ago if that helps.

you're not insane! the cornershop near my dad's place didn't sell pokemon cards so I used to always buy those waps instead :)
