The Pokemon Center has started selling music box dioramas and framed maps for all nine of the franchise’s regions, but you’re going to have a tough time getting your hands on them.

For as long as Pokemon has been around, it’s had some of the best merchandise in gaming. Not even counting the unbelievable amount of gorgeous and sought-after cards for the TCG, there are skateboard decks, Lego sets, plushes, golden figures, playsets, and oh so much more. Just look at the branded cans of soup, if you somehow need more proof.

Since there's clearly no shortage of Pokemon goods in the world already, you’d think that there’s not much left that could possibly leave an impression. Well, you might want to change that tune, as the Pokemon Center has just revealed an incredible new collection of dioramas and framed maps that are going to leave you cursing if you’re not in Japan.

As pointed out by Dexerto, the official Japanese Pokemon site recently shared a blog post detailing a new collection that’s being added to the online store on November 12. The collection focuses on the “evolution of the Pokemon series” and includes music box dioramas representing locations from each region in the series, framed maps, and paper crafts.

Watching thousands of Pokemon Go players gather in Chicago showed me that the game's greatest feature has always been community.

Pokemon is no stranger to dioramas, but these music boxes are absolutely gorgeous , featuring nicely crafted replicas of areas like Route 1 alongside acrylic or 3D figures of the respective generation’s starter Pokemon and, of course, Pikachu.
