...aaand I got piece #2. Officially the most pieces you can get without being able to build anything.

I'm so glad you guys let me know that I shouldn't just "build" because the grayed out "or build all" would not have clued me in that I shouldn't just click "build." TNT, you really need to not rely on the utterly failed help system to post the rules for these things; you used to post the rules in a separate tab, and I don't think it'd be that much extra work...
From what I've heard, there's actually information in the pop-up when you chose to build that would've alerted you to the fact.
ETA: I forgot, there was some info in the editorial about the event:

Why do I have a feeling that you guys are gonna be swamped with questions about the inflation of junk items? I AM GIVING YOU ALL MY BEST WISHES THAT YOU ONLY GET A FEW. ~shootingstar_23Wish harder.

Hey, TNT! Could you please do something about the inflation of certain items in this spaceship event? It's getting super ridiculous that items from Grave Danger and the Discarded Grundo Plushie are reaching unbuyable prices and many of us can't afford to do this event anymore. Oh, and please leave out my username. ~username removedIt seems our item sink got a bit of a clog! We're tweaking the system and keeping an eye on it. The list of eligible items should now refresh much more often (meaning anything that moves out of junk status will be removed very quickly). We intended for the prices to go up a little bit so junk wasn't so worthless anymore, but eep, not to that extreme.
The dinosaurs on the dashboard of The Coincidence gave me warm fuzzy feelings. Thank you for the continued tributes to amazing series from the past! :* ~ospreypatronus*whistles innocently*
TNT, in light of the results of the current event step (at the time of this writing, massive inflation of junk items, sometimes up to unbuyable level), could we get clarification on what is considered false inflation and what isn't? It's been stated previously that false inflation is defined as groups of players working together to drive prices up, which is against the rules. However, what if multiple people are acting independently and buying masses of items to the same end, just working on their own? Is someone hoarding thousands of the same item and then claiming, "Okay, I have them ALL now, so I say they're worth 90,000 NP!" seriously within the rules just because it's not a group? Furthermore, is this sort of scheming behind the massive inflation of this week, or was it regular supply / demand mechanics? Please remove my username. ~username removedThe inflation issue was our fault. We've adjusted some things to hopefully reduce the chances of that happening. Players that were acting alone (and thus playing fairly) in cornering the market found a way to play the economy to make Neopoints, and that's a perfectly legitimate way to play. If the items are actually selling to players for that amount, then it's inflation caused by supply and demand.
I find it very commendable that they acknowledged that they had messed up. Plus, it's clear the super inflation was not the intent - clearly some of the staff remembered CoM and also the Tagobo potion items.
I wonder if JN will change it's policy and post the lists after all? Since TNT has basically stated they're not going to leave items that super-inflate in the pot? Not like it makes a huge amount of difference, but it'd be nice for hoarders to dump all their excess right now.

D'aww. Snarkie's around and helping out on the neoboards.
Snarkie is awesome!
