Events & Collectibles General Discussion

[Zane]

so Zane, do you think there will be no white or dark feathers then, or star glow wands??

umm star wands seem possible, black and white feathers would surprise me (especially black since it's so limited, plus it's new). but that's just my onion

What kind? Red, white, Spanish, shallots, etc.??

You said "onion". What happened to the "pi" part. Now I can see why opinions taste so bad (and smell so bad).

I'm really surprised there would be anything left over after the contest winners make purchases.
how many of each item gets restocked for them? is it 5 contests x 3 winners = 15 of each rare item??

Not sharing restock numbers, sorry.

But I will be surprised if there isn't anything left actually. Of course I meant that in an overall sense -- not saying to expect black feathers sitting there for taking!

Zane's insight is interesting too. There definitely were a few purple feathers left last year. Sounds like a safe bet again this year too looking at the Shop right now before any restock.

I do like your sketchy avatar. That's my tomato.

What's your tomato on the TBT Fair?

gotcha. i guess its a two-fold risk then in waiting: there's a risk that what one wants won't be available after the contest winners' purchases; then there's the risk of getting nothing anyhow due to the usual mad restocks rush i would have to think once the shop doors are opened back up to the general public...

 

[Chicha]

I feel like I've said this in different threads at least three or so times now so I didn't feel any need to repeat myself again here. But to be sure...!

There will be restocks available exclusively to the contest winners (top three) with Black / White / Pink / Purple Feathers and Star Glow Wand. If there are any leftovers unsold from these, they'll be made available to everyone else afterwards. (details on times/dates to come later) Other than this, there will be no restocks.

I will say that I actually expect there to be some leftovers available for some items, but we'll have to see later for sure.

YESSSS

Here's hoping I place ;v; Probably not. Aiming for the yellow glow wands *o*

when you have enough tickets and that purple feather is just waiting, taunting you...

why are you waiting? I went ahead and bought mine!

purple is the traditional color of royalty, you know...

I am very tempted...but there's just that nagging voice in the back of my mind saying, "no no just save them for the possible restock leftovers!"

Welp, looks like I need to save up my tickets to buy that purple feather for you.

 

[King Dorado]

just 11 of them left!

i wonder how much longer they'll last...?

 

[Laudine]

Your purple and black feathers look really nice together

 

[King Dorado]

just 9 purples left!

i'll be surprised if they last the day...

It does encourage more participation, but also encourages rushed participation to get tickets faster. Those who spent more time and effort into their entries will lose out, even if they win first place. It's sad to think someone who wins first place won't even be able to buy a feather. Or second place, or third place. Again, I have a strong hunch that with this in mind, they will have a restock. They've done it in the past, and all I can do is cross my fingers for those who are still awaiting results/tickets.

I assume that's their reasoning for the low stock as well. Though I personally don't agree with it, and you know how I love me some rare collectibles haha. (Even though I'm selling mine for pokeheroes stuff xD)
Hopefully they'll increase stock and most, if not all, people get what they worked hard for, even if it would be to resell them.
Another idea I just had is to have a limited stock for tradable collectibles, but an unlimited supply for those that wouldn't be tradeable. That way those who saved up for a feather would be guaranteed their feather, given they obtained enough tickets. I feel like that could be a compromise most people could get behind.

Well apart from certain Chopped people I don't think stuff is really rushed per se unless people are having a very laid-back attitude towards stuff like "Hey I can't do this scrap paint thing bc it's for kids" or such. As for the other, well it's simply color a picture or take photos of things and for staff favourite you can't really "know" who will make it anyways. And yeah there will be restocks for those who place top-3 in contests as already pointed out.

Haha yes we do Wish I could get some haha. And yeah maybe that could be an idea even though I guess they want stuff to be trade-able, I don't really know what they consider in that question in general, but yes the limited thing is, as I said, for participation and their encouragement of it. Also if you actually had the NL/HHD game you could get even more. I don't have any of those game now and I managed to get my white feather in the end

 

[Kitsuragi]

welp, no white feather for me this fair, but i got a purple feather aha

 

[Alienfish]

Yeah, I don't know if there will be purple left after some more events so I'm not hoping for much tbh, I'd rather save up or get that prize pack maybe because it has free shipping aaand hopefully our really piece of **** mail service will fork it over lol.
