4th November
This weekend is very special, not only is it Bonfire Day (yay for fireworks and jacket potatoes), but it also marks the release of the Darkest Faerie TCG expansion.
Note: Be careful when opening your TCG booster packs, hidden inside a rare few are hand drawn sketch cards! Click here for more info about them.


You couldn't have bonfire day without enjoying a cup of hot soup now could you?




If you are lucky enough to get hold of some of the new cards, you can redeem your virtual prize code here. You could win all kinds of things including plushies, battledome equipment and Neopoints.

Wish your friends a happy Bonfire Day with one of these Guy Fawkes themed Neogreetings.



There is a new Mystery Pic competition. The answer to the last one was the Pick Your Own Gelert Farmer image. 689 people guessed the correct answer, earning 2,903 NP each.

The Food Shop has just finished perfecting three new flavours of baked potato.



The last Pet Spotlight award of the week has been given to a Wocky called Dilliie. Congratulations!

A new issue of the Neopian Times has been released. Keep your eyes open for great stories and adventures like "I Fell off Faerieland" - and Other Wacky Excuses and The Warf that could Fly.



10247 Evil Street, Spooky Woods is this week's Neohome Spotlight winner owned by Milly2x.

Four new plushie sets have just gone on sale at the Official Neopets Ebay Store including Kougras, Gelerts, Kacheeks, SHoyrus and JubJubs.




If anyone is going to be in Texas this weekend, they should stop by the Wizard World Texas convention where you will have a chance to meet some of the Neopets artists and get your own personalised sketch at the Wizards of the Coast booth!

You can host your own Bonfire Night party with one of these super-safe magical bonfires. Get yours at the Garden Centre now!



Is your hair looking a little unruly? If so you may be interested in this rather exciting promotion at Great Clips. Great Clips hair salons are giving away a free Neopets booster pack with hair cuts!

A new round of the Beauty Contest is about to begin. Get ready to cast your votes.

Can you think of something funny to say for this rather bizarre Caption Contest image?



There is a new page of Neopets releated Poems for you to read.

The Toy Shop has plushie versions of three of the main characters from our new TCG set onsale - Tormund, Roberta and the Darkest Faerie...

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night and Fireworks Night, is an annual celebration (but not a public holiday) on the evening of the 5th of November primarily in the United Kingdom, but also to some extent in New Zealand, South Africa, the province of Newfoundland (Canada), some parts of the USA, and formerly Australia. It celebrates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, in which a group of Catholic conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London on the night when Protestant King James I (James VI of Scotland) was within its walls — the evening of 5 November 1605. Some believe the proximity of the event to the pre-Christian festival of Samhain Eve and Halloween are notable, but it is generally agreed that this is a coincidence.
