I’m not getting anything. I found the cog, went back to the shop which shows I got the cog, went to arcade next. It asks if I want to help. Nada happens. What am I doing wrong ?

I received a Mad Meepit Mocha as my premium prize today!

Never mind. Click on the Nigel leaning out. Got the prize.
by joelnava on August 13, 2026 10:00 AM NST
joelnava, Nigel will literally pop out of the side of the page and you have to click on him.

Yay! Excited to see I have 5 widgets, 4 large claws and 1 tier booster waiting for me when Wonderclaw is active again!
by bekkerz on August 13, 2026 10:30 AM NST
@bekkerz: I hope those still work then. You never know with this TNT

I think the event itself looks kind of... mediocre. The rewards are nice, sure, but the rest of the art assets seem to be of poor quality.. Maybe that's just me.

I also got Garlic Mynci Pizza for premium

All the prizes are NYC themed
by pancake on August 13, 2026 11:02 AM NST
And the resellers are already going gross with hoarding the prizes. Sandwich Tree was 300k on SSW a few hours ago, now hoarded onto auctions for 50mil. Which is weird behavior when yoy consider these items will be here for 7 days, and neo_truths disclosed before there's at least 20k premium subs.

by whatevermaycome on August 13, 2026 11:29 AM NST
Got a *Mad Meepit Mocha* with the weewoo today, I am premium, is that a missing prize from the list?
by spicylife on August 13, 2026 12:31 PM NST
I cant get him to pop up for me to collect the prize. I already collected the cog, am I cooked?
by 1_doglefox on August 13, 2026 12:34 PM NST
@1_doglefox on the main page click “play wonderclaw” and it will take you to a new page. When I did that, Nigel pop up for me instantly!
by jmo7692 on August 13, 2026 3:10 PM NST
Spotted Weewoo and a Springabee.
by faellie_ridiculous on August 13, 2026 4:11 PM NST
Oh, didn't know it was only for the avatar. I donated 300,000NP. She thanked me. I already have the avatar. I will continue to donate, possibly daily if I remember. Congrats on all those getting the avatar

OOPS! Wrong thread above! Sorry--meant for the Soup Faerie thread posting. Please ignore last post.
by sycatt on August 13, 2026 4:30 PM NST
Followed the guide and got the prize but no checkmark. ?
by premium17 on August 13, 2026 5:06 PM NST
I went to main page and then went to Donny and got the popup, but back on the main page and I cant play? did I do something wrong?
by pretty_feet on August 13, 2026 5:45 PM NST
I received the Takeout Coffee Handheld The Spotted Weewoo is so stinking cute!!!!!
by myriamele on August 13, 2026 6:11 PM NST
I would make it clear this is a non-NC event! I usually just zone out of all NC related stuff and assumed this was just another one… thankfully something made me click the link and imagine my surprise when I got NP items from Nigel!
by sheepmad2018 on August 13, 2026 7:18 PM NST
Now I'm not expecting a lot since this is a NC Event, infact its nice they even have a Base Experience component to it.

Never expecting to see Nigel as part of an Event (aside from a cameo like someone you visit for Trick-or-Treating). I guess like for any other character its welcomed but he's as corpo as you expect him to be. But hey, he at least realized the player could help Bigsby instead of just demanding he finds a way to speed-up and leave, so I'll take Bigsby word he's an honest Chia.

Nice seeing them do something with Donny again (even just for a quick cameo), makes sense him and Bigsby would know each other. Hm, I wonder if they could expand Donny's Toy Repair Shop feature. Like, I was gonna suggest "they should make more broken versions of toys", but that would just be creating fodder items for the sake of it. I'm not sure if making a Quest Giver would work, and I wouldn't make him another "Cooking Pot". OOH, I have an idea! We have a whole batch of BD items which are "Fragile", meaning they have a chance of breaking; aka we lose 'em. BUT, what if instead of losing them forever we just get a "broken" version of them added into our Inventory that we can take to Donny to fix (though for a much higher amount of NP for gameplay balance; in-lore he can say he doesn't usually like fixing weapons). Would certainly make people less hesitant to use Crystal Boomerang, Fake Von Roo Fangs, Golden Scarab, Holiday Nova, Kacheek Flour, Mirror Mote, Pocket Lab Ray, Volleyball of Fire, and the Staff/Wand of Nova & its variants. Still think they could do more, but this would at least give him a small boon. Another Idea: Maybe make some "generic" unidentifiable broken items you can get like from Tarla's Shop of Mystery which Donny can fix into a random item of a certain category.
by pikachu315111 on August 13, 2026 7:33 PM NST
Moving on, as expected there's Premium Prizes and it's an interesting batch.

Hey guys, do you know New York is famous for its Hot Dogs? Like, they might as well have Hubert as one of the event hosts for Neo York. Infact now would be a good time to make a batch of new Hot Dog items. If they need any ideas just look at PB Colours. Though they can do anything as long as they don't call them "glizzy"; that's a DC/Maryland thing, the real life event is taking place in New York City.

Pizze Meepit is funny, though I think they should have used one of the rat/mouse-based Petpets instead of defaulting to the Meepit.

I'm questioning the inclusion of the "Ruined City" TCG card. Like, did someone on TNT have a bad trip to NYC?

Huh, so the Slyce is a Petpetpet? I'm happy they're experimenting with P3s being more than bugs, but the amount of new object based P3s is starting to get a bit tedious. I would at least suggest basing new P3s on smallest animals: Paedophryne Amauensis (smallest frog), Brookesia Micra (chameleon), Barbados Threadsnake, Octopus Wolfi, Pygmy Seahorse, Bee Hummingbird, Etruscan Shrew, Kitti's Hog-Nosed Bat, etc.. There's also plenty of microscopic lifeforms (how do we not have a Tardigrade P3 yet?) and small Plants. Also I'm sure you can find inspiration from Petpets and other characters around the site; infact if you can make a P3 based on the Krawk, Meerca/Babyca, and Blumaroo/Baby Blu that would be funny. We also have some unreleased P3s, one being a featherless chicken.

Tattoo Rock is a tattoo of a gravestone? Feels like that's stepping on the proverbial toes of the Halloween Rock. I get they're probably a popular tattoo for those who want to honor a lost loved one, but for the Rock Petpet I don't feel it was the best choice. Honestly I wouldn't have done anything, just make it a tattoo of a the default Rock Petpet with (maybe with some of the random doodles other tattoo Petpets had).
by pikachu315111 on August 13, 2026 8:12 PM NST
I got the Tattoo Rock as my premium prize.
by kirin on August 13, 2026 8:43 PM NST
I love the new pigeon (spotted weewoo). I think this is now my favourite petpet and I will need to figure out what new pet eventually gets this little buddy.
by dont_earn_np_on_side on August 14, 2026 6:46 AM NST
Anyone having trouble claiming their Day 2 prize? I found the cog but keep getting the dialogue with the clue when visiting Bigsby.
by gardenialily on August 15, 2026 7:10 AM NST
@gardenialily Not sure if you're having the same issue I did, but I didn't realize you have to go to the Wonderclaw page specifically to get Nigel to pop up from the sides to claim it.
by squ33ble on August 15, 2026 11:13 AM NST
@squ33ble I got the Nigel pop up to claim the items but my day 2 clue is still grayed out and says “Check back soon for this hint!”
by gardenialily on August 15, 2026 6:32 PM NST
Ugh, wish there wasn't that odd noise going on in the Wonderclaw page with Nigel in it...It's been forever since I last played the game so the freaky sound effects made me go back kinda quick, lol.

I think I used to play Neo with my volume off for the longest time - never had on music or anything - so maybe that's why it threw me off. But a little sound warning if you're like me and didn't know or forgot that there was any hint of sound. xD



Also now I need the Pizza Meepit for my gallery. xD Not premium though so I'll have to see if prices become normal sometime.
by overboss on August 15, 2026 6:51 PM NST
I think in the past they made prizes not repeatable on some events, but it looks like the Premium prizes can repeat on this one. I got the Pink Mazzew Sandwich both yesterday and today. So now I’m really crossing my fingers that my luck changes for getting the p2s and p3
by polarbearlogic on August 16, 2026 5:53 AM NST
Ok, so if you don't claim the day of, it's not working? Great. Home from the hospital but excluded because I couldn't attend every day since the start. So I'll not be able to finish it. What is the point of all the work they put into these events if they're so glitchy they never work?? And if they exclude people for not living on Neopets 24/7 to be participants in a TIMELY fashion when they decide to have events. *rolls eyes*
by katina_choovanski on August 17, 2026 9:15 PM NST
Even though I got all the cogs, I couldn’t activate the pop-up for my prizes on day 2 :/
by debbiejanescott on August 20, 2026 3:08 AM NST
I didn't get the Charm. I got all the cogs the same day and all the pop up prizes and I still didn't get the Charm.
by wolfdragon27 on August 21, 2026 5:57 AM NST
I'm in the same boat as @wolfdragon27, did all that and no Charm. Bummer
by fellfroschtagge on August 21, 2026 6:11 AM NST
The Charm is a premium bonus prize. It has nothing to do with collecting cogs on time. I saw somebody claim they only collected 3 cogs and still got it. But they were a premium player.

Everyone who got it is premium. Nobody else did.
by recklesse on August 21, 2026 6:26 AM NST
Also, why is this post pushed way down on page 2 while the event is still ongoing?

Nigel is still handing out gifts until the 23rd.
by recklesse on August 21, 2026 6:27 AM NST
This sucks! I totally missed the event as it looked exactly like an NC cash event... I didn't realise it was a normal event.
Please can you make it clearer on your news page when something is a PAID/NC event, and when its standard? Can you put like a label on the news post or something so its clear please please?
by unipie on August 22, 2026 10:32 AM NST
I agree - I thought this was an NC event and completely ignored it until today.
