Which version do you have?

For the cheapest way to own Lugia, purchase the Standard version at $39. The 1st Edition version, priced at $32, offers a slight premium, usually signifying earlier production or specific packaging, though in this case, it is cheaper. If budget is the primary concern, buy Standard. If you want the slightly more collectible designation, the 1st Edition is the better choice for a small extra investment.
