New Year 2020 Celebration Mystery Capsule in the NC Mall!

[Nyanobyte]

Explore all of the celebrations happening over Neopia! Open this capsule and receive one random item worth 150 NC (or more if you are lucky)!
This capsule also has a chance of awarding one of five limited edition bonus items.
On sale in the mall through Jan 15!

These are the bonuses you have a chance at getting from this mystery capsule.

Rainbow Fountain New Years Background (you need an account to see links) - (you need an account to see links)

New Years at the Battledome Background (you need an account to see links) - (you need an account to see links)

Defenders of Neopia Lobby New Years Background (you need an account to see links) - (you need an account to see links)

New Years on the SS Primella Background (you need an account to see links) - (you need an account to see links)

New Years at the Neopian Times Office Background (you need an account to see links) - (you need an account to see links)

Now we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is these five new backgrounds are lovely!
The bad news is that this cap is releasing items that are currently in the nc mall. So aside from the new LE backgrounds, you are going to be getting buyable items.

Buyer beware, these are NOT rerelease caps - you are getting current NC mall items from these with a chance at getting a new bonus background.

For real though, the New Years at the Neopian Times Office Background is so nice * . *

[Heck]

The passed out Shoyru in the Rainbow Fountain one is sending me. Definitely had some special celebration juice if you know what I mean *wink wonk*. A bit busy for my taste, but you best believe I'm hoarding them because I have a problem. *defeated thumbs-up*

Anyone open these right after release? I think they nerfed the drop rate. It was like 1 every other cap for a solid 15 minutes.

So wait.... you�re telling me I�ll get an item currently in the mall, and *maybe* one of the new BGs??


TNT, you gotta be kidding me!

Oh gosh, the Shoyru is hilarious, def had some special celebration juice xD
Its certainly a busy bg, but a nice change from the typical winter themed stuffs ^^

Exactly. T.T
I'm not sure why they couldn't have just done a small prize pool of relevant items and then the pretty bonus BGs instead of using the cap to hand out buyable junk. When I grabbed a few I naively assumed that it was just a random prize pool of past mall things relevant to the holidays. Nope. All current buyable stuff.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

But seriously, what�s the point of releasing a capsule if it doesn�t rerelease stuff or give out limited new stuff that isn�t in the mall??? Where is TNT�s logic???

Gacha is where all the money is right now.

It's the same as per any other mobile/mmorpg game online right now - and since neopets is moving towards the mobile game scene....

I've opened 15 so far and got 3 of the BGs...luckily I didn't have any of the other items that are buyable in the mall but lord, I just want one of each BG haha.

[Bowsette]

I MUST have that fountain BG >.<

[Lapis]

could TNT please put non-buyables asking people to waste money on RNG for LE items or literally trash is disappointing
