Prize Booth

[Jeremy]

For those wondering why there are two variants of the prize pack this time: the "NH variant" looks like the ones we sent out in 2020 and 2022. The "NL variant" looks like the ones we sent out in the earlier years. While the NL one is smaller, I'll make sure it contains the same items and maybe bring back the bad drawing to make up for the size difference between the two.

It's unlikely very many people will earn over 200 tickets even when completing everything. The very top tiers were priced as kind of all-or-nothing collectibles!

That being said, perhaps we should make a small adjustment.

** Price Cut Announcement **

Three tiers of the older collectibles are now priced as such:

120 Throwback Tickets -> 96 Throwback Tickets
60 Throwback Tickets -> 48 Throwback Tickets
48 Throwback Tickets -> 36 Throwback Tickets

Hi all, I have another update about prizes this evening:

The date that certain physical prizes will be purchasable has been pushed back by one day to Monday, August 12th at 5PM EDT.

*Note, the following very limited prizes will be available for purchase starting on Sunday, August 11th Monday, August 12th at 5PM EDT: Lego sets, shaker keychains, splatoon locker, snow bunny plushies and enamel pins. Since tickets will be distributed by event hosts at different times, we want everyone to have an equal chance in case these items are purchased quickly. All others can be purchased immediately.*

This was changed so tickets have time to be distributed for the final rounds of Count Inside the Bottle and Party Popping Puzzles. The IRL prizes still have yet to be added to the shop (simply because we haven't gotten around to it yet). Once they're listed in the shop, I'll make a more formal announcement about this date change. Thanks!

August 4th prize update and information!

Hello everyone, I have several updates regarding prizes to share with you today.

All IRL prizes are now listed in the shop
The sixteen physical or "IRL" prizes have now been added to the shop! As explained in the first post of this thread, they can all be purchased with regular tickets. Since many of these prizes are limited in stock, the vast majority of users will not be able to get everything they want, but with more IRL prizes stocked than ever, we hope many of you will be able to get at least something.

Some prizes not purchasable until August 12th
Prizes that have the fewest number of available items will not be purchasable until Monday, August 12th at 5:00 PM EDT to prevent someone from having an unfair advantage. This includes the following prizes:

• Ghostly Kitty Plush Enamel Pin
• Snow Bunny Enamel Pin
• Celeste Chick Plush Enamel Pin
• Dino Plush Enamel Pin
• LEGO Maple's Pumpkin Garden
• LEGO Julian's Birthday Party
• Bandai Splatoon 3 Locker Collection
• Custom Shaker Keychain Commission by Mistreil
• Snow Bunny Plush

As I mentioned above, some prizes are in high demand, so unfortunately they may sell instantly, with many users receiving errors during the checkout process. The staff worked very hard to make these prizes available and we included as many as possible, so thanks for understanding and best of luck!

If you're one of the lucky few who ends up getting a Custom Shaker Keychain or Snow Bunny Plush on this day, please give us time to officially confirm that the amount of items sold is correct before celebrating (just in case of any glitches). Also, to make it fairer for everyone else, we will not allow your name to be drawn for any of the three raffles for IRL prizes, so please don't buy raffle tickets for them. Thank you!

New balloon collectibles will be added to the shop during the event
As you can see, we also have a ton of forum collectible prizes. There were some questions about why there aren't many to buy with your regular tickets. This is only temporary because new balloon collectibles will be added to the shop by the Confetti Collecting event, so be sure to participate to help influence what's added!

Stickers and prize packs
The prize pack is a staple for The Bell Tree Fair and this year there are more available than ever with 24 of the New Horizons variant and 24 of the New Leaf variant. The only difference between these variants is the stationery used, as their contents will be the same. The New Horizons variant uses NH stationery from the 2020 and 2022 Fairs, while the New Leaf variant uses NL stationery from the 2014, 2016, and 2017 Fairs.

The primary prize included in the prize pack is an assortment of TBT stickers and we need your help deciding which designs to print! Head on over to the new Sticker Poll thread to place your votes.

New raffles
We have also added new collectible raffles to the shop, so feel free to dump all of your leftover Tickets and Throwback Tickets into them when the Fair ends. As already announced, we have three IRL prize raffles:

• Nintendo eShop Gift Card - 1 Ticket, 3 winners
• TBT Plush Enamel Pins Full Set - 1 Ticket, 3 winners
• Snow Bunny Plush - 1 Ticket, 2 winners

And now five more collectible raffles:

• Your Choice of Rainbow Balloon Collectible- 2 Tickets, 4 winners
  • Available collectible: Rainbow Balloon, Rainbow Heart Balloon, or Rainbow Bunny Balloon.
• Your Choice of Non-Rainbow Balloon Collectible- 1 Ticket, 6 winners
  • Available collectibles: any balloon collected on the forum, excluding the three listed above.
• Fair Pinwheel Collectible- 1 Throwback Ticket, 2 winners
  • Available collectible: Fair Pinwheel.
• Your Choice of Tradeable Feather Collectible- 1 Throwback Ticket, 2 winners
  • Available collectibles: any feather collectible on the forum, excluding the non-tradeable Rainbow and Pavé Tail feathers.
• Your Choice of Select Feather Collectible- 1 Throwback Ticket, 6 winners
  • Available collectibles: Blue Feather, Cool Feather, Fresh Feather, Green Feather, Hot Feather, Pavé Pink Feather, Pavé Purple Feather, Rad Feather, Red Feather, or Yellow Feather.

All raffle winners will be determined sometime after the Fair ends. The date will be announced in the event's closing ceremony.

Physical prizes will be shipped at the end of the event
Some physical prizes can only be shipped to certain countries, so please be sure to check the first post in this thread for more details. Sometime near the end of the event, you'll receive a PM with instructions about how to provide your address for shipment.

That concludes today's update about prizes. Please let us know if you have any questions!

We have also added brand new Enchanted Forest Scenery to the Shop for 20 Bells! This scenery matches the background of items from The Bell Tree Fair 2022 currently sold for Throwback Tickets such as crystals, butterfly spirits, and mushroom lamps.

Other relevant scenery previously released has been available for sale in the Shop since shortly after the Fair launched, in case you're interested and hadn't yet noticed.

 

[Jeremy]

this is random but the new enchanted forest scenery (which is so pretty) actually made me realize that the lily of the valley is included with the crystals, butterflies, and mushroom lamps. would it count as a fair collectible even though it’s kinda not on theme?

I didn't even realize it was missing until you pointed it out omg... I always considered it a 2022 Fair collectible. I wasn't around for the fairs prior to the one in 2017, but I did assume they brought back every fair collectible to exist, so you'd think the Lily of the Valley would be included.

Good point, that must have been an oversight. It has now been added to the shop!

Apologies for the delay. I've been meaning to post an update with photos of the pins and bun plush, but things got a bit too hectic irl

I've finally received pin photos from the manufacturer and I'm honestly screaming inside because they look so amazing?!

I have never made enamel pins before so I didn't really know what to expect. My jaw dropped when I saw the photos because they exceeded my expectations and more! The glitters are perfect and the pins are so shiny I really can't wait to see them in person.

They're plated in rose gold and will come with two clucthes each! Also it's hard to see in the photo, but the kitty has glitter on the white part of his body.

I also have more photos of the bun. Have I mentioned that he got toebeans? Because he does! I love his fluffy tail as well

Celeste and bun. They're best friends.

Just want to note that the bunny plushies will come with a tag that has my logo. They currently don't have it because the tags need to be made in bulk

I've received some questions about them in PM and will get back as soon as I can. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Important highlight from the replies below: The missing raffles have now been added to the shop. See this post for more details about the prizes available from them.

Where/when is/will be the pin pack raffle available for purchase? Or am I just missing it in the shop??

the raffles usually get added at or near the end of events

Funnily enough, this was not intentional and they were meant to be visible on August 4th when I made this post. This has now been fixed.

Are all the physical prizes really out? And just when I was getting into this whole TBT fair thing. Dang.

Other than raffles for some of the bigger prizes, the prize packs and amiibo cards are also available!

i had the snow bunny pin in my cart and pushed update cart instead of purchase OTL !!! lol its okay though, i was able to get a dino pin so i'd consider that a win!

will the people who ended up getting an enamel pin be able to enter the snow bunny plush raffle?

Yes.

Question, when the raffle appears at the end for the snow bunny, are you allowed to put in some tickets for the snow bunny raffle and the raffle for a chance to win the eshop gifr card? Or just one?

You can spend any number of your tickets on any number of the raffles. However, when we're drawing winners at the end of the event, we'll start in order with the biggest prizes first and the collectibles last. If you win one raffle, we'll skip your name in the next ones, meaning you can't win more than once.

this is a stupid question but. am i allowed to buy both the NL and the NH prize pack JKGKDSFJ i just like the stationery c:

Not stupid! Someone else also PMed me about this and I suggested waiting to see if other users will want one of the few remaining ones. However, I do have some extra stationery, so I may add an option to buy a partial one and then we'll include both types of stationery in one envelope (the other contents would not be doubled).

Prize Pack and Sticker Update

Regarding the boosters for the prize packs that previously sold out, I have decided not to restock any more. We won't have enough stationery and when it comes to the stickers, I think it would be a much better idea to give everyone more stickers instead of saving them for more boosters that only a few people would be able to get.

That's why we're going to be extra generous with this year's stickers! We typically have 4 designs printed, but for this special TBT Fair, we have a total of 7 new stickers: the TBTF 2024 emblem and the top six voted-for designs. In addition, you'll be able to pick any extra 3 stickers: either duplicates of the new ones or any old ones that are still available (some may be more limited than others). This means each prize pack will contain 10 stickers. If you were one of the few people who managed to get a sticker booster, you can pick an additional 5 extra stickers for a total of 15.

And here's our stock of stickers, with the new 2024 ones on the right!

Later today, you'll receive a PM with information about how to provide your address and select the stickers you'd like (among other details).
