Robot Ixi? Ixi day is only the the 11th or 12th



Yay! World challanges!
And the Aisha and Pteri plushies are old, I have both I think.

[Shifty]

They should have saved the robot ixi for ixi day... Makes me wonder what they are planning for then.

And the world challenges has been free for all for more then a month now.

[Duke of Earl]

World challenges... more money from mootix drop, here i come

[Trick]

Yeah I wondered about those two plushies being "new", there have always been red pteri and aisha plushies surely I like the hissi one though =)

The Ixi release is a bit odd too, the whole news is a bit odd/random actually.

[Kitten Medli]

I notice the new characters are more human-like.. hmm.. not trying to start a debate, just something I noticed.

[Anoohilator]

I didn't realise that that was the breadmaster dude... Isn't he short and chubby and 1337?

His apron says 'The Breadmaster' . Also, can someone explain to me how the pans are hanging...and what the breadmaster is going to use the meat clever for...if he bakes bread.

[metalmario]

The Hissi plushie looks terrible o.O
I'll bet the reason they released the robot Ixi right now was because they have three new Ixi colors (I think?), and usually only release two on a pet day. Though that's not really a "reason," just trying to throw out and idea lol.

[Xerophyte]

No firework avatar?

Oh well.

[MRBboy8]

They can't do a fireworks avatar or conservative mothers will try to sue neopets for advertising explodables

[Erin]

Where was this week's Neopian Times? Did I just miss it or something?

[Xerophyte]

They can't do a fireworks avatar or conservative mothers will try to sue neopets for advertising explodables

Good point, I suppose.

Forgot people could try to sue them.

[Runevalkyrie]

If that was the case, they'd have to remove every single picture with fireworks on it.

Such as:

[Moonlight Flower]

And those same mothers would be VERY offended at the TNT abbreviation of 'The Neopets Team' and the avatar that goes with it.... XD
Oh, and the Lupe Asplode avatar as well. *snicker*
