EBGames Canada Lists 20th Anniversary Digimon Re-Release Preorders
It is no surprise that the Digimon Digital Monster is coming back for the 20th anniversary! We reported this a few months ago from the Bandai Booth at the New York Toy Fair 2019. What is shocking is EBGames Canada, a popular toy retailer in Canada has listed them up on their website prior to an announcement from Bandai.
The price of the device in the United States will be identical the re-released P1 & P1, at $19.99, and $29.99 in Canada.
We finally get to see the packaging! Very similar to the re-released P1 & P1, it features almost identical packaging to the original minus the flap. It’s a modern twist on vintage packaging. We love this because it allows you to see the device on shelves without having to open the flap.
Our exclusive information straight from Bandai America has been confirmed! The official colors will be brown, Gray, Blue, & yellow which are the original colors from the 90’s. Many fans will be happy to hear this!
Here’s the description of the listing on EBGames Canada’s website:

The Digital Monster you train for action
The website also indicates that this listing is a pre-order, but be careful; the color you receive will be chosen at random. If you're not a fan of this, its best to wait for another pre-order or simply purchase in store after launch. The launch date EBGames Canada is giving is July 5th 2019, which is a little earlier than expected, but these dates tend to change.
Stay tuned, we will have some more exclusive information and images coming real soon straight from Bandai! Who’s excited?
