Customization thread

[fructy]

Thanks for all the congratulations and complements on winning the spotlight with Bindiya. I wasn't expecting to win so I was really suprised and happy when I heard I had won.

Kriskrossness, your baby chomby looks really cute. I wish there were more items that baby, mutant and maraquan pets could wear too. I like the idea of a wearable baby security blanket, that would be really cute

Daze, your uni looks wonderfull. I love the wings that matches the fire on the hooves. And the cloak looks great too. Too bad there are still some people who will give a pet with any nc mall items a 1 as a score. On the page where you enter your pet you can see that pets are categorized either "neopoint" or "nc mall", so maybe there will be seperate nc mall and neopoint winners next week.

Thankyou Fructy. I tossed up between that cloak and the one with stars (without a hood). I think when these items disappear, she will get the other cloak.

Yes, unfortunately people have a weird sense of 'right and wrong' - everyone thought that NP only pets would be discriminised against, but reading the chat boards, it seems that it is the NC Mall pets that are being discriminated against.


I did notice the 2 different categories - I wonder what happens if you have a mixture of both? You would just have to hope that you picked the right one, but I hope in the long run that it will even out the contest.

So no one has used this thread in ages, but oh well. Around Christmas time (with the help of my neocolours secret santa) I finally got around to getting rid of the travesty that was my new Tyrannian Aisha. Lol, 9 months later and no 'justice' in sight I figured it was time.



The transforming went mutant -> disco -> royal -> pirate. He doesn't have his disco accessories on right now because the glasses take away his mischievous expression, which is why I love love love the pirate bruce in the first place. He is also wearing Wellington boots to get rid of the Bruce's doughy foot issue.

My bank account has not yet recovered, but I love how he turned out. If anyone wants to check him out one can do so here.

Gave them a new look, and now I'm hoping to win Customisation spotlight

[fructy]

varii, the royal and pirate goes really well together. Have you entered it in the customisation spotlight?

Siouxper, I love the poogle! He looks very Darth Vader-ish with all the space items

I'm thinking about changing my tyrannian uni. I don't really like him as much anymore as before tnt changed all the pets. I'm thinking about this:



A raindow pirate lenny. I might add a goatee and glasses. What do you guys think about this combo? Not sure what background, trinkets etc to get him though, any ideas?

[Siouxper]

I like that idea Not sure about backgrounds/trinkets though

I just decked out my Xweetok for Valentine's Day



And my Lutari for the Sloth Plot

Aww! That's awesome!


Here's how I've got my poogle:



I haven't managed to find any backgrounds I like enough to stare at everywhere I go...lol

Quote from the editorial:

Is it true that, after you buy a Neocash item, it goes away in 180 days, or do you get to keep the items forever? ~pokeflower
When the NC Mall first opened our intent was to have items expire due to legal concerns. We've worked with our lawyers more and have decided to almost completely drop the expiration date from items. It's not guaranteed that all forthcoming items will lack expiration dates, but for now, no item has one. Before purchasing an item from the NC Mall please review the item's tool tip so you are certain you understand exactly what you're purchasing.

Since when don't items from the mall expire anymore? I thought items would dissapear after 180 days.

I believe they announced it at some point last month...some items still do expire, so make sure you check the item information before you purchase. Most items don't expire, though.

It wasn't very long ago. Looking throught the old news, it seems to have happened on the 14th of last december: http://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml?nf_date=2007-12-10

Ok, now I'm nearly 100% sure that someone in TNT is a phan: first the Phantom of the Background, and now those earrings

So yeah, my "what to buy with free nc (giveway + expellibox win)" is no more:

I also want to add the red ribbon thingy, but for some starnge reason it's not showing on the customisation page even though it's in my closet.

oh man oh man oh man.
I officially hate you, lol. I want that background and those earrings so bad!!!!!

I am indeed a phan myself, and I've been lucky enough to actually be the phantom of a production ^_^

@varii

"Off with their heads!" love this look!

@fructy: like the rainbow pirate lenny look, but it makes me think of toucan Sam for some reason...

Here's my Kougra:


But I'm not 100% happy with the spaceship. Can anyone suggest a background object that will match the "kid playing pretend inside a cardboard box" theme? NC mall trinkets ok, because of the free 150NC

Also, suggestions for an island kougra that I'm going to be adopting? He's one of those "Zen new-age California surfer" dudes. I will probably take off the neck wreath, give him shorts and the Shenkuu snowboard...

Budget for items: buyables only; cheap is good

[fructy]

Eilu, I can't think of a better trinket or background to go with your theme. The Mechanical Darkest Faerie Minion sort of looks like a wind-up toy...

I want to buy some nc mall items for my lenny, not 100% sure what to get though. Wich of these is the best? I put the images in the spoiler-thingy
