Dear Neopets team,
I remember myself envying the other Neopets players from the States when real life Neopets merchandise
was being sold in the Limited Too stores. How I wish there was one in Singapore too! Needless to say,
when I read from your site about Neopets coming to Singapore for a day, I felt as though my wish had
come true!
I started spreading the good news to all my friends who are Neo-addicts just like me and was anxiously
counting each passing day as the BIG DAY drew closer.
I even shared my excitement with my boyfriend who
knows about my crazed-obsession with your site and made him go with me. He's a non-player by the way,
but I'm trying to get him to play! *grins*
We woke up exceptionally early the next day just to be the 1st thousand people in line for the free
stickers. I must say I'm pretty impressed with the event because even though we turned up an hour
early, there was already a longgggggggggggg queue outside the myEPB Bookstore in Suntec City.
Initially, we thought we'll never be able to make it to the 1st thousand and a pang of disappointment
surged upon me. But we still continued queuing up though cos I wanted to bring some Neopets items home.
I guess we were one of the oldest people around (Early twenties), seeing all the kids and teens queueing
up before and after us. It took us almost 2 hours before we could get into the shop. It was a long wait,
but I'm glad we did it. I got my free sticker too which comes with a rare item code! Hip Hip Hurray!
Once we were inside the shop, I couldn't set my mind on which plushie to get (I only wanted one). I
asked my boyfriend for suggestions and he told me to get both the Yellow Chia and Blue Aisha cos they
are just soooooooooo cute! He told me it's a one day event afterall and no harm buying more of it.
I bought all the stickers available in addition to the free stickers I already have plus two notebooks,
a tattoo and a packet of Neoscapes! I saw some kids walking past me with a Limited Edition Purple
Chia in their arms but thought my yellow one's pretty cool too.
I spent an hour inside the shop and another 15 minutes queueing up for payment. While queuing up, I
spotted Anthony and Keith busy drawing Neopets characters for everyone. It's so nice of them!!
I even
spotted Lupe walking around with some "Neopets reporters" giving interviews. I spent a total of S$ 78
on Neopets items that day! But I still think it's worth it! Hehe...
While on our way out, there was still a long queue outside the shop. It sure is a successful event cos
I saw articles about Neopets and the event spread out all over the local newspapers the following day.
You have such a loyal fan base here in Singapore. So how about setting up a store here as well? *winks
winks*
Regards,
