"Well, you can host a little party with the afternoon-tea set! Go to any Nintendo Zone between 8/25 and 9/7 to receive your set! From your proper guests"

Nintendo you got my hopes up making Pete special deliver a letter, and all it was... was an announcement for something we've known about... You guys just pulled some crap. :/
 
Oh man....thanks for the warning, I didn't get a visit from Pete but I would have been excited if he'd been there this morning!

And so far we've visited FOUR Nintendo Zones that weren't actually working so they can just drop dead anyway. (Going to change my SSID later today and just get them at home, which is what I should have done in the first place.)

HomePass, that's how I got mine. Are you adding the wireless hotspots to your 3DS settings? I had trouble at first because I had them added to my settings, as soon as I took it off, it worked no problem.

No - we just have crappy NZs around here. The local best buy never seems to turn it on at all; and the others can be detected but you can't connect to them. This week, anyway. We had no trouble with the pumpkin pie.

I'm wondering if I should just leave my SSID changed over -- does anyone think there will be more DLCs coming up? (Aside from the slushie machine, which I have).

Apparently somewhere soon they are releasing the full-moon vanity. I don't remember where I saw that post or who's getting it...

The full moon vanity is the DLC for September. You do not need to do anything special to get it, just go to the post office anytime during September and ask for the gift.
 
I got no visit from Pete, not on Nintendo Zone or otherwise. And Pelly says I already got my present, which definitely wasn't any kind of tea set :( It's supposed to be for both NA and Europe, right?

Pete only delivered a letter that said what I wrote in the original post. He didn't attach the tea set.

Pics of the tea set?

I'll take pictures later for you, its bed time.

I know I have to ask Pelly for it, but the fact that I didn't get a visit from Pete also concerned me. The game is completely ignoring the afternoon tea set.
Hopefully I'll be able to get it on Sunday, when September starts.

I don't think Europe gets the tea set until next week; we're getting it earlier.

I actually saw a Starbucks today and ran in -- of course their zone was working fine. Pete gave me the annoying letter but then I was able to run up and get my set from Pelly. Huzzah!!

Finally got mine today. Went to two different McDonald's yesterday but apparently Nintendo Zone was down.

Went back today and got it.

So then I'm crossing you off my list? Good, good, one less Rover encounter for me today. Not that I don't love the guy, but yeesh.

I wonder then, if we can just do the router trick at home for this? I really don't wanna go to Starbucks today, especially with a grouchy husband after PAX.

Yay! :D

That explains it. I'll sit tight till Sunday.

You definitely can, I would have but to be honest stopping at the starbucks for 5 minutes was much faster than resetting my SSID and then reconnecting on all our devices. My friends did not want to redo everything, so they set the SSID, connected with their games, then set it back the way it was so no other devices changed (although nothing else had working wifi til they were done)
 
I just changed my iPhone's name to "Bestbuy" and just turn on the hotspot when I feel like getting DLC. :3
Got my bestbuy only dlc last time this way and it's still a NZ so it works for this. Hurray laziness~
