Fancy Chair

I like that fancy chair!

I like the furniture a lot. I like how simple it is, sometimes you just don't want furniture shaped like petpets or novas or chairs with wings.
Why are they even bothering to continue releasing school supplies? Uselessness.

A lot of people collect them.

I find it humorous that they're releasing school supplies when the Neopets School has never been released.

What's so weird about that? There are plenty of items that serve no purpose. Clothing? Tiki Tack merchandise? Almost anything out of the gift shop? Even collectable cards are relatively useless, the only thing you can do is stick them in a deck. People enjoy collecting school supplies, a lot of the items are nicely drawn and fit into larger themes. I don't see the problem.

I collect school supplies to be prepared for neoschool. If neoschool isn't realeased then I will sue TNT.

They've stated a couple years ago that Neoschools aren't coming at all... according to them it was the fact that it just didn't work out as far as what they were going to accomplish with the project. It's not a good reason to sue them though.

Yeah, I guess they just kept releasing them as collectors items.
I don't really see the point in collecting items, unless we had something like Subeta where we could give our pets a few items that'd appear on their lookups somewhere. I think that'd be cute. It builds character, and is really the only reason I'd collect anything on the site.
