There are people in Neopia who collect plushies simply
for the sake of having a gallery. There are others, however, who collect
them because they think it will be “a fun thing to do” as I used to think.
I’m writing this article to convey my feelings and thoughts on Plushie
Collectors, and hopefully I will inspire some people to take it up as
a hobby.
***BE PREPARED TO SPEND MANY THOUSANDS OF NP***
The First Step
The hardest part of plushie collecting is deciding what type of collection
you want. My gallery isn’t very complete yet, but as of yet I haven’t
seen a totally complete gallery either. Some types of galleries you could
make are:
Favourite Plushies
Colour Galleries
Magical Plushie Gallery
Species Gallery
Unbuyable Galleries
Every Plushie Gallery
All of these galleries can be very difficult to complete.
Most people opt for the final type, as I have.
The Beginning Plushies
The Toy Shop is where I started, as most of the plushies there are
cheaper with haggling than ones from the Shop Wizard. Aisha plushies,
Elephante plushies and Buzz plushies are the easiest ones to get at first.
Then move on to the more expensive plushies using the Shop Wizard. Kacheek
Plushies, Usul Plushies, Wocky Plushies, Chia Plushies and Tuskaninny
Plushies are the ones to search for. Be sure to get all the basic colours
first (red, green, blue and yellow) before moving onto a different and
far more expensive type.
***HINT: Keep all your plushies in your safety deposit
box until your collection is fairly complete***
The True Gallery Type Plushies
Most Blumaroo Plushies, different coloured Fuzzles (regular and evil),
Grundo Plushies and Techo Plushies are far more expensive than the 100
to 700 NP basic plushies. These plushies will cost 1000 to 20,000 NP These
are what make Galleries good and show your NP status.
***TIP: Keep all your NP in the bank. Keep two windows
open, one to search on the Shop Wizard, the other to take the exact amount
out of your account to spend on the plushie. This will ensure that you
do not over spend and leave yourself with less than 100 NP***
Oh My Borovan!!! Where Did My NP Go???
This is what you’ll find yourself saying over and over as the plushies
you buy get more expensive. I kept all my NP with me for two months, thinking
that it was the easiest way to keep track of my NP The bank does this
far more easily, so you should only keep the necessary amount for the
plushie with you. Go to the Omelette for food and the Healing Springs
to heal your pet (OK, so how obvious is that???).
Don’t buy any plushies for a while, play every game you
can possibly get NP from (the flash games are the best) until you have
over 100,000 NP. You’ll want to go to the Trading Post now, with some
good items and all of your NP except for 2000 (for safekeeping). Starry
Techo Plushies are VERY expensive, and so are the Magical Starry Techo
Plushies. Start offering one or two items and 20000 to 40,000 NP for one
plushie, and hopefully the person will accept your offer. Your plushie
collection should have increased and should have some good plushies in
it, but your bank account would be very lonely.
Finishing Up
It will probably take up to a year to get most plushies, but you should
be satisfied with how big your collection is. Create another account and
get a shop. Become Neofriends with your accounts and send all your plushies
to the second account. Instead of making yourself rich in your second
account, use what NP you have left in your first account to buy something
that is normally cheap for a lot of NP in your second account’s shop to
assist your alternate account in upgrading its shop. You’ll probably need
a size 50 shop, which will cost a lot of NP I hope that everyone enjoyed
reading this, and that one or two people will start collecting plushies
for fun. Neomail me if you have any comments or questions about this article.
