Hello everyone!
I hope you're having a great day because we've got an exciting little surprise in store for you... it's the five year anniversary of Animal Crossing: New Leaf in Japan and we're celebrating with a fun mini-event! Hard to believe but it was five whole years from now on November 8th, 2012 that the game finally released after years of anticipation, at least in Japanese. That wasn't the end either with another eight months of waiting between then and the worldwide English release in June 2013.
We're hoping this will make for a fun surprise 'mini-event' as oftentimes the timing of our events have become too predictable on the holiday calendar. It's pretty low-key in scale compared to a typical forum event due to coming right after the Fair and Halloween but there's still lots of fun to be had! Read on below for the various happenings...
Five Years of New Leaf Anniversary Photo Challenge
Runs Nov 8th to Nov 15th!
The main highlight of our 5 Years of New Leaf mini-event is a supercharged daily version of The Bell Tree Fair's popular New Leaf Photo Challenge! Can we convince you to turn on your 3DS and play New Leaf every single day for the next week to celebrate the anniversary? There's only one way to find out, and you'll want to find out with rewards heading your way depending on your ability to do that! For more details, head to the event thread in the New Leaf board.
Rewards for this event include plenty of bells and fruit collectibles, plus a chance at winning the rare

The Stalk Market Experiment
Runs Nov 10th to Nov 14th!
| Joan is visiting our forums for a very limited time and you can purchase a White Turnip from her until November 10th at Noon/12PM Eastern. From then on, you can play The Bell Tree's Stalk Market and sell your turnip at a dynamically changing price for five days. For more details, open the spoiler below. Read it before purchasing the White Turnip item from the Shop. We will not be responsible for any mistakes on your part. |
The Stalk Market Experiment is a version of the turnip market game found in Animal Crossing, brought into The Bell Tree's Shop. Purchase a White Turnip for 99 Bells from the Shop before Nov 10th at 9AM PST / 12PM EST to participate, it will be out of stock once the market begins.
The Buyback price of the White Turnip item will change everyday at 9AM PST / 12PM EST and 9PM PST / 12AM EST for five days through November 14th. The last price will remain until Nov 15th at 9AM PST / 12PM EST. Please note that for this experiment, we will be manually adjusting the price so know that these are approximate times and there may be small delays.
At any point, you may sell your turnip and cash in for the current Buyback price by clicking Sell next to the item in your Shop inventory. The Buyback price can be found by hovering over the item in the Shop and looking next to "Buyback Price". This number may be lower or higher than 99 Bells.
Just as you may gain bells, there is also a very real possibility you will lose bells participating in this. If you do not sell your turnip item at all before the market ends, you can expect to lose all of your spent bells. The item will be discarded afterwards, do not expect to keep it as a collectible. There will be no admin refunds related to this item for losses.
Good luck!

New & Returning Character Collectibles
Runs all month long!
We couldn't possibly celebrate Animal Crossing: New Leaf without introducing the mascot of the game Isabelle! She's now available in the Shop for 99 Bells. We miss you Nook...
A couple previous villager collectibles are returning to the Shop too with Lobo and Mint at their original prices of 180 Bells each.
It sure would be nice to have another new villager collectible though... that's where our TBT Fair Prize Pack winners come in! Every user who received a prize pack in this year's Fair have either a character nomination ballot or voting ballot in their envelope. Those with nomination ballots will nominate one villager from New Leaf of their choosing, those with voting ballots will vote for their favourite villager from the nominations to determine the new collectible! Prize Pack owners: check your inboxes for a PM from Jeremy soon to participate!
All character collectibles mentioned will be available until the end of November, giving you enough time to earn some bells from the Photo Challenge event.
