I'm just wondering why they couldn't have drawn it like the other Ogrin plushies, those are so cute...

I moved my book around a lot and once I finally had one of my pets read it, it disappeared in the good way, but it doesn't come up that my pet has actually read it.

The AC this year is waaaay too quirky for my liking.

Maybe this is a hint from TNT, and the conditions necessary for seeing the book are the same as those that get you the sidebar? Probably not

*is tempted to start up an "Unloved ugly ogrin plushie gallery in his side account*

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My book, which I have had absolutely NO trouble with since I received it, is now a broken image in my SDB!!!!!!!!!!!! *sobs uncontrollably* Why are they doing this to us?!!?!?!?!?!??!

...

*sniffles* However, I think the holiday tree from today's AC prize looks really neat in the aerial view when you put it in your Neohome.

...Ugh, the music is giving me Sutek's Tomb flashbacks ._.

EDIT: Daze beat me to it. But the music is still giving me annoying flashbacks XD

If TNT did a better job on the animation (don't make it a loop, but make the little Ruki open all the presents etc), it could've be really interesting to watch. Frankly, today's animation is quite boring.
Funny prizes, though.

Hmmm... nice book. The artwork (of the book) reminds me of something else though... I can't remember what...

Do you mean Fruit Stripe Gum? Loved it as a kid...

OMG! that's IT! yes, I loved it too when I was a kid. Specially the green one (and there was always only one gree one in each pack :cry:

)

*ahem* back on topic...

maybe the looping animation is supposed to be that everyone is giving him that gift? It would explain his eyes-half-close-and-frowning "*groan* not again..." facial expression... just my $.02

nooooo... sutek's tomb music.... driving me maaaaaaaad.....

Maybe... but he's opening the same box, so probably not.

I don't know... I know it's dumb to whine about free stuff, but still... this year's AC has been less than impressive, from the short loops to the weird (and for the most part, useless, when it comes to the clothes) gifts.

Ah well, there's always next year, right?

We did get lots of books though. Those are good items and will rise in value quite a bit over the years.

Just look at some of the older advent books.

I am a bit dissapointed that the calendar is so glitchy this year though. I missed two items because of that.

I liked the music. Good beat, and a bit unusual.

I've liked most of the animations this time. Very nice! The gifts are fine. I figure if it's free it's fine with me.

Dang, what's going on with the book in shops? I spent about 15 minutes just trying to restock ONE for under 2000NP. I always buy an extra book - one to read to my pet, one to keep. Most AC books have been pretty easy to this for, but the Ruki book is flying out of shops! I use the SSW, and my last resubmit, one shop had 8 copies at a low price. I got to the shop and it still showed 8 copies. Clicked on the book, and BOOM, item doesn't exist in this shop. Does this seem unusual to anyone else?

I know what you. I had a bunch of copies in my SDB and they're not even showing up now.
