I'm excited to see that the Premium Advent Calendar is coming up soon! Would you consider giving Wand of Asparagus on Borovan Day for the Borovan themed Advent prize? this would be the first time that it has been released to the general public, ever! Thank you for considering this. ~_vap3_

Is the new item, "Shrooms and Slorgs Foreground" coming out soon by chance? I haven't seen it yet from this past Slorg Day. ~i_vap_
Hello!
Oops! Looks like this item was trailing behind in some Slorg Slime; they’re not very hasty Petpets. You should be able to find it now over in Ugga Shinies!

Thank you so much for the Ilere Trick-or-Treat Bag! She`s an underrated character and I was so happy to get more items featuring her, they go straight into my gallery! Also a huge THANKS for giving us the empty bags - lots of people in the past have chosen to not open their bags due to them disappearing. Very happy with the Festival of Fears event, I love Neovia and the Tale of Woe plot. ~aleu1986
Thank you so much for including the Tale of Woe unobtainable Plushies and the Tale of Woe itself in the Trick-or-Treat bag prize pool. I panicked and bought them immediately, when I could have been smart and waited for them to get even cheaper, but having them in my gallery finally is so very very awesome! Thank you for making this happen. Thrilled over here! ~eliz1bef

Grarrl Day was again grreat! One item announced in the news for it though, the Hatching Tyrannian Egg Nest, is searchable on the Shop Wiz but won't appear in the site search bar results. Can you please verify its item info and make sure this incubating base is released properly? My 6 Grarrls thank you and promise to keep their claws to themselves. ~quailbat

The Lutari Paint Brush seems useless. The Alien Vending Machine keeps awarding it. Are there any plans to ever activate this Paint Brush and add the colour officially so it can be usable and of value? Thank you.
Hello! We have retired the Lutari Paint Brush as of now, so it should no longer be available from the Alien Vending Machine.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FAERIE BEAROG! Sorry for the all caps, I'm just too excited. As a IRL human to 3 corgis it's the most perfect Petpet you've ever created. ~nbbug132
There are a few weapons to mention that have been absolutely delightful lately, like Baelia Net Thrower. This Baelia weapon defends against Water and Physical... an interesting combination considering that all of my 2-Player opponents have usually be using Icicle against me lately (Icicle is a very Water-heavy faerie ability). Keep up the good work ~_vape_

Why is it called Inside A Quiguki Claw Machine Background Item when it's filled with Quiggle plushies, not Quigukis? ~enzo_07
The claw machine was manufactured by Big Quiguki TM, hence why it was named after their brand. However corporate has taken your rebrand into consideration and updated the name of the machine. Happy customizing! ~~TNT Luna

Hi TNT! A few weeks ago you changed the Raining Jelly Beans Collectible Filter’s placement, and ever since then I’ve been wishing it was back to its original higher foreground placement because now the piles of jelly beans always float on top of my other items. Can you consider changing it back - pretty please, with jelly beans on top? :) ~estival

Hi TNT! I'm sure you guys have your hands full with all the plotting (I know I do!), but I wanted to ask about the physical merch. I really love the idea of a Neopets keychain (or two, or three...) but baby pets don't grab me, you know? Any chance more styles will be available in the future? Any hints if so? Thanks, and keep up the great work :) ~marguerite_st_just

Hi TNT, the Powdered Wig currently (and unnecessarily, in my opinion) restricts the back and front earring zones and rather interferes with customization options (lots of wearables besides literal earrings occupy these zones).

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for making my Blueberry Meerca idea canon! Your final design is BEAUTIFUL! From the violet eyes with light-green eyelashes, to the vivid palettes of the berries, to the addition of blueberry flowers, what you did truly brought it to life! I love it! *heart* (And the Plushie is precious!) Thank you so much for reaching out to artists about making their art official to the site! ~1jediboy
I wanted to say thank you for adding more Booktastic Books and making some of the older Booktastic Books more accessible! My Pet is going to be soooo smart. ~astrogalaga
I thought I peaked in childhood delight when you all released the Nostalgic Plushie tokens when I could finally get the plushies I've always wanted, but you topped it this week. My very first painted pet was the classic Desert Shoyru on a now extinct account and I always missed it. I was able to reclaim that pet name after a name purge. And now he's repainted to his classic desert self, it's like I got him back! I'm elated! Jubilant! Overjoyed! Thank you all for bringing joy. Please send my well wishes to the designers and the decision makers who brought the classic side staring Shoyru, and his designs, back. ~ninkish

Greetings, TNT! While stocking my Health and Beauty-themed store, I happened to notice a bit of an oddity. I have a supply of Fire Faerie Hairsprays, but it seems the lids have somehow welded shut; and no matter how hard I try, I'm unable to use them to groom my pets despite their clear description as a Grooming item. Perhaps a Fire Faerie might like to take a look, as I'm sure they'd not want their names associated with a defective item... ~astrangespirit
Hello! Oh dear, I wonder if some hairspray got stuck on the lid and it dried shut! A Fire Faerie was able to knock the lid loose and this item should now work! Thanks for writing in! :)

There’s more to getting a Lupe to look like Captain Scarblade than just making him Green - he’s feared across the seas of Neopia after all! And I know a long time ago the Captain Scarblade Collectors Ensemble was released in the NC, but how can we capture those charming looks of perfect jagged scar and dashing moustache to match along with an iconic Captain’s Hat which any wearables could never contend with? That being said; please can we have Captain Scarblade as a Restyle Character? (This recommendation has not been written by Captain Scarblade taking over someone’s account. At all. Nothing to see here. Or else. Everything is normal. Go away. ~gloomyhalloumi
