Did the shoes arrive ok? Not even sure why I had them, lol; maybe from spinning the Archives wheel?

TNT is changing how they handle tickets. I would send in a completely new ticket to them. You can do that here: https://www.jumpstart.com/support/np-classic
I hope TNT is able to solve your problems and get those items back to you.

i find that if you  complain on public forums, such as a facebook post, they pay more attention to you.  good luck!

Hiya, i'm sorry you lost some of your items!! 
I'd pursue this with TNT, regardless of if they have 'resolved' the case. If you still have a record of the communication from TNT where they promised to fix the situation, i'd send that through as well as any other details - account names, pet that wore the clothes, rough idea of when you bought it etc. I thought they were generally better about NC issues, but obviously you still have to push them 😐
If you don't have any luck with them, your best bet would be to go on the NC trading board, and ask if anyone is trading the items. I just checked waka (NC trading value guide), and all of the mad tea party items, except for the teapot are valued at 1-2, so they should be fairly easy to find, possibly some for 2:1 if you're lucky. The teapot will be harder though. Im not sure how much trading stuff you've done, so i'm attaching a simple trading guide from jellyneo:

I hope that's helpful. I don't have any of the items unfortunately, but i'm sure you'll have some luck on the NC board, and keep pursuing it with TNT!
 

I absolutely hate this plot because of the purple haze on dailies! 
I quit fishing with all my pets because of it! It's so annoying. 
I really really really hope it'll over ASAP! 

I doubt KQ will ever be back. I heard the files were lost/belong to someone else, whatever it was, it's toast :-((

It easily could, especially with Altador Cup starting in a few weeks.

A few more months? why do I have the nagging feeling the plot will turn a year old before it goes away?

Odds are there will be at least one more major battle judging by how most plots have been in the past, that said it will likely take months until we see another update with how many things are going on at once. Daily Dare and the Quest event right now, the Altador Cup in a few months if memory serves, trying to convert the site from Flash to something else (I think it's HTML5), while I enjoy the events I feel like JumpStart is trying to do too many things at once and should be more focused on getting the site fully converted from Flash before they do anything else. I think most people would be okay with fewer events if it meant the site was moving away from Flash which could help with getting Key Quest back.

Siiiiigh.
Also, another "beat enemy on hard mode" achievement. Here goes another once-a-day chip-away with Throw Pillows strategy. Again.

Welp, it's Monday... now we wait in dread for the update.
 
Edit: Still nothing. Either its hidden or they haven't implemented it yet. This is making me antsy.

YAY! I KNEW there had to be a "Final Battle"! Thank goodness things are going to start moving again! This is an odd and LONG dry spell for being in the middle of a plot!
Scoobert, you might! At least it will be only half the blessings for you to retrain "Throw Pillows"! If the final battle is like previous FINAL battles, Throw Pillows might be a way to go, but as it's the collective damage done to the boss by everyone battling that whittles it down to 0... Such as, during the Obelisk War The Order's faction had to fight Envy for it's final battle. I had 394 battles with Envy and of course, 394 losses! LOL
I don't know if there will be a point system or anything for how many times or how much damage you do to whatever this final boss might be. But if NEITHER damage done or battles fought matter... The "Throw Pillows" strategy might be in the better interest for some players. In the past, if your pet strikes the finishing blow first, you might be awarded a special prize for striking the deathblow. However, no guarantees on that. I don't know how JS will run the final battle or the set of events around it. I just hope this wraps up BEFORE Easter! (Which coincidentally is April 1st this year.) I travel to visit family on holidays like that, and while I have limited access, I much prefer doing neostuff at home.
Thanks for posting the update!!

Well well . . .
Looks like the darkest faerie's gonna be involved in the plot.
https://images.neopets.com/items/twr_sta_darkestfaerie_charm.gif
I'm looking at that and thinking, "wow, she's got really big hands."
Then I realise, those are flames . . .

I'm not sure how I feel about The Darkest Faerie's involvement in all of this. On the one hand she's always been my favourite faerie, on the other hand I'm afraid Jumpstart is gonna ruin her for me one way or another.

I think that's everyone's fear.
I know nothing about her myself and even I'm afraid of them creating some super-naff story line. They're going to be well aware of people's expectations when they use long-established characters, but that doesn't magically give them great plot-writing skills all of a sudden . . .

This plot has "jumped the shark" a long time ago now.  And then trying to tie in the CC to it was not a good move.  I feel it was just another scheme to draw it out even longer, or at least justify doing so.  This plot and the CC event that "goes along with it" are both epic failures in my opinion.  Good try JS, but you missed the mark.

Yep, tie-in Charity Corner. Of course. If this counts towards the plot points I'm gonna yell

This is on JN so I really hope we can wrap this thing up Monday!

I wonder if this new update will actually wrap everything up, or of it'll just involve more steps + more waiting around...

I think there'll be more yet, there's too much unrevealed for a quick wrap up. We've got to find out whoever this is that Malum is talking about, and probably find and defeat them at least, and there needs to be some kind of finale, I'd hope, lol. Not just like "ok, bad guy beaten, that's it" with very little story behind it.
Though I may have just described how things will actually be in their entirely . . .

I'll take your ending, just to be finished with this "plot". Or, Queen Fyora wakes up in bed and it was all a bad dream...
I have a feeling this plot may have been delayed due to other things expected or promised in the next coming months. There is still, hopefully, the annual Faerie Quest event, Festival of Neggs, and Daily Dare. And a Charity Corner is/was promised. AC, for that matter, is "just around the corner", too. Wondering if they are having to get all of that ready, and has gotten them behind on (finishing) the plot. But, yeah, they never say why. Just, "Oh, sorry! But we will wrap things up soon.", kind of comment. At least they are acknowledging it, even if they aren't stating why.

HA!!!
You see, when I talked in another thread about them needing some Deus ex Machina thing to finally get those guys out of bed, I absolutely remembered them pulling the "the entire last season was all a bad dream" thing with whats-her-face on Dallas . . . whoever Victoria Principal played. So you saying this now amuses me greatly. xD

I think, however, that it DOES match with certain Neopian features that have that been proclaiming themselves as "new" for approx. 15 years.
So it seems to me that they'd intentionally not openly addressed the lack of ANYTHING plot-related, until someone actually asked about it. That's tiresomely passive-aggressive of them. :^/
From what she says there nothing's going to be happening this week.

Well, today's (9 Mar 2018) Neopian Times Editorial (Issue: 818, 9th day of Running, Y20) had this question and answer:
ref: http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&issue=818
So I guess @kayahtik's wish came true. I noted that Scrappy said "soon" three times. And I'm really hoping we will see movement on this plot, next week. However, I do get nervous when Scrappy say's "soon", as her definition of soon, doesn't match mine. I guess we will see.
