New update on the glitch from yesterday:

Apparently TNT is releasing the items from yesterday if you had tried to click to get them. However, they are going through in alphabetical order. So if your username starts with "Z", you could be waiting quite a while.

It doesn't seem to matter if you actually collected the prizes yesterday or not; I now have 2 sets, one in my SDB and one in my inventory!!!

Weird. My username starts with a C, and I haven't gotten anything at all yet.

I know people on the neobards were saying no one with D's had gotten 'em yet, and that was less than an hour ago. It probably will take a WHILE to get to everyone.

...and now I kinda wish I hadn't spent about 15k to buy one of each last night.

Yay :D I am so very glad I didn't spend 120k on these today!

I'm quite keen to wait.

P.S. The SW price is plummeting. The plushie is currently down to about 18k 14k 7k

Im a D and got mine. But I had them already, since I collected late. I guess they're not caring if a person gets doubles?

Ooh, yay! I'm glad my username starts with a B.

I'm glad TNT is doing the right thing. :) Too bad my user name starts with "T" though. I guess it's going to take awhile, but at least I'll get it. ..... today's prizes??? erm, interesting?

I was waiting for the rat to come alive. :lol:
Mmm... Seems I'm gonna be waiting for a while, seeing as how my username starts with a 'P'. Still, I'm glad TNT decided to step up to this one, and give us our loot. :D Well done!

Yesterday was the first time that I had a glitch with advent calendar over the many years that I played neopets - I'm glad that TNT decided to give us back the prizes as we shouldn't be punished by the glitch. Thanks, TNT!

I dunno if the rat gives your pet Ugga Ugga, BUT:
Peppermint Stomach Medicine description wrote:This festive medicine tastes much better than Sporkle Syrup, and still cures Ugga-Ugga. This was given out by the Advent Calendar in Y10.

:o
The Peppermint Stomach Medicine is running around 7k right now. Not bad when Sporkle Syrup costs about 330k. :D

ETA: I foresee this particular advent item eventually skyrocketing.
