Neggs that are not neggs/"pick up a negg": 1/1



Sooo.....yesterday, we got a re-release of a 2013 item (Baby Holiday Scarf - was worth almost 50k). Today, we got a restockable item (A Snowbunny Tail - was worth 100k) and a retired Hidden Tower item (Snow Faerie Doll - was worth 5 mil).

....I'm really not sure what to make of this? What are they going to do next? Give everyone a randomized retired stamp or something?! Oooh! Or maybe some of the retired neggs I'm missing? Christmas Negg, anyone?

Also, them handing out retockable items makes me think about the VERY EARLY advent calendars, where we got a LOT of restockable items. Ah, reminiscing...

Day 2,
You find 694 Neopoints!!!
You find a Snow Faerie Doll!!!
You also find a A Snowbunny Tail!!!

Bonus: Icy Onigiri
Snowie: Faeries Fortune Scratchcard

I am guessing that they will not be 50k and 100k for long...

Heh, the TDMBGPOP is now wearing a red scarf and is covered with snow.

[Pickles]

Yeah, I noticed TDMBGPOP this morning, too.

Prices have plummeted on all of the items already.

People are the boards are asking if we're actually going to get the Rod this year...

While I would love them to give out a retired (or stupid rare) stamp or other items (like the aforementioned Christmas Negg), I'd prefer it be randomized as to which one you get. A no-trade np capsule could take care of that....but I highly doubt we'll be seeing anything like that happen.

This would be awesome!

Also, the idea of a festive wallpaper for cell phones as part of Advent Calendar is a nice change of pace - definitely something different!
