* The Tiki Tack man only adds to his stock every once in a while, and today is one of those days. Visit the Tiki Tack shop to pick one up.
* Update! - The Neopian Bazaar is the latest map to receive an art update! Hopefully it's much more pleasing to the eye now.
In addition, a new map has been added to help with some of the clutter from the other two shop maps. It will have more icons on it soon!
* The newest issue of the Neopian Times has been released! Keep your eyes open for great stories and adventures like O, the Joys of Owning a Slorg! and Patch's Money Tree Adventure.
* Once again, no one was able to decipher this week's Mystery Pic, so we're extending it for another month! Okay, just kidding. A new contest is now underway! (If you're curious, the mysterious image that stumped everyone was Pirate Caves Spotlight #74.)
* The most versatile food in all of Neopia now has its own set of Fun Images!
* Congratulations to stargaze3 for snagging the User Lookup of the Week award! Well done.
* Movie Mountain is now open to the Neopian public! This new sponsor area features unique souvenirs, a snack bar for your Neopets, and great new games you can play to earn yourself some Neopoints. Click to visit, or check it out in the Bazaar in Neopia Central.
* Kdhg is a Meridell Castle Spotlight champion with - The Cell! Why not give it a shot?
* A new set of Buddy Icons is now available for you to use, each more spotted than the last.
* Leaf after leaf: building a forest is the name of the lastest Gallery Spotlight and was created by angelicinsanity.
* The Toy Shop was so overstocked, the owners decided to open a brand new plushie branch! You can visit Plushie Palace by clicking here, or by visiting the new Neopian Plaza.
*squee* Plushies!

The addition of the plushie shop just made an insane new place for everyone to restock.

The bazaar looks EXACTLY the same to me. And the movie fairground looking thing, doesn't really work for me, and, is it me, or is Neopets lagging...a LOT!
I have high speed internet, and its been 10 mins on loading the main page -.-

The Bazaar looks the same for me, though the map for the Main Shops is certainly different! Where's the hospital, for instance? Where's the Kadoatery?! The Movie thing is wonky for me, too. The souvenir shop won't let me buy anything. Is this May 2 or April 1?

I assume something went wrong with the sync, or it synced before EVERYTHING was updated, and that's why the new shop updates aren't in place. No worries, people.

I see the new maps....

They have actually made a new map for the Kadoatery and the Hospital... in the Neopian Plaza.
If you go to the main Shops page...
http://www.neopets.com/objects.phtml
you will see above the picture two more links for the
Neopian Bazaar
http://www.neopets.com/market_bazaar.phtml
Neopian Plaza
http://www.neopets.com/market_plaza.phtml
I think they have to work on it some more... personal opinion... but to me, everything looks to be "to lined up and structured". If they would just move the shops around a bit and whatnot I think the image would look better. I know they said they plan to add more... so maybe after they do that, it will look better.

The souvenirs shop doesn't appear to be working though. I can't buy anything. o.O

I don't like that it opens a new window each time I click on something

i think the new map will grow on us. thankfully, they've made a shop for the pound. it never made sense to me not being anywhere in neopia, just on the 'pet central' page.
