I sure hope the Advent Calendar doesn't actually get stopped lol. No offense to Orion, but whenever he pops up I'm literally like, "Bro I've got enough to worry about offsite already, I'm just here for the fun daily prizes and festivities." The rising darkness can wait, let me have my chill end of the year.
But in seriousness, I'd be surprised if the plot they have in mind is ready enough to be launched this month in any capacity, so it's probably just more teasing until if fully kicks off next year some time.

I agree honestly, first time he popped up I was like "Oh they'd better not." Still can't help but wonder if they're actually going anywhere with it. XD

The wearables they made for the Advent Calendar this year have been really nice <3 Especially these: Gingerbread House Living Room Background Baby Fireball Fireplace Foreground (though it's a bit of a misnomer since it's actually a background item) Winter Woodland Petpets Background I'm hoping to get some new Neopoint clothing by the end of the event, too, but will be happy with whatever they manage to make.

I see Snowbunny prices have already taken a dip. Not crazy about the new Christmas one, but the re-release was probably a good idea.
GIVE US THE CANDYCHAN STAMP TNT

Hmm I don't know if we knew anything about Reina until now. I wonder if her mother is a character we've met?
One JN book-of-ages search later, I think the only other really major character who is an aisha from Terror Mountain is Prytariel, but I know nothing on her lore.

They... they actually did it! AAAAAHHHHHHH. It is so nice to not have to grind for years or shell out irl money for merch to be able to afford a stamp album! x'D I know some people will complain about this being given out "for free," but you know, it did require being engaged with the site for at least a year. Sticky Snowflake Stamp was given out in last year's Advent Calendar, Snowbunny Stamp is in the current daily quest prize pool, and now this. Not to mention the other cheaper stamps that would've required either patient restocking or saving to get, too. I am very happy. If TNT continues this pattern of making some albums achievable just for frequent participation, I'd stay on board for sure.

MADLADS.
Gotta say, in all of my time on the site, this is 100% the first year that I've not only never skipped a single day of the Advent Calendar but also sleepy-scrambled to my computer at 10 AM sharp on more than one occasion. This is how you enliven site activity.
In all of my time on the site this is also the first time I've actually properly buckled down with stamp collection. There just never seemed to be a point to it before now.

I didn't think TNT would actually rerelease the Candychan Stamp. I really didn't. I was trying not to get my hopes up.
But they did. That's freakin' amazing. So many people getting their stamp avatars - in many cases, their very FIRST stamp avatar. I do agree that we should be utilizing other avenues (creative contests, Hidden Tower, or event prize shops) to rerelease stupidly rare and expensive items, but the Advent Calendar and the daily quests dropping the most expensive stamps in the Snowy Valley album is a really good start.
I hate to be a downer but I also have to mention one other thing - now that these previously nigh unobtainable stamps are very obtainable, inflators are now setting their sights on inflating the other stamps in the album. Stamps with rarity 90 and below are now hitting unbuyable prices. While they are very unlikely to reach the heights Candychan Stamp, Snowbunny Stamp and Sticky Snowflake Stamp reached, it's...well, it's really scummy that some people's first reaction to this is "well, we're not going to make money off these stamps, let's yank up the prices of the other stamps instead!"
I'm very happy TNT is making stamp albums more accessible, bit by bit, but something really has to be done about people who take previously buyable stamps and make them unbuyable. Yeah, supply and demand since more people are now motivated to complete the album, but still. Going from a few thousand Neopoints to a handful of millions?
If anyone is looking to finish the album and hasn't yet bought the other stamps, I suggest waiting a bit for prices to come back down. The stamps people are now trying to inflate restock in the post office and majority of them can be wished for, these unnatural price hikes are not going to last.
Anyway, when do I get my Golden Mr Irgo Stamp rerelease? I don't like knowing that there is a NQ-related avatar that I don't have, TNT. Hop to it, chop chop, I'm 24/25 of the way there.
