Lady Kakata Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm a total idiot :sad01_anim: I bought a few of the Spring Garden Mystery Capsules ... I forgot this didn't mean GIFT BOX mystery capsules! I spent NC for absolutely nothing! -_-;; *Goes to the Trades sheepishly* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Awe! I really wish Gift boxes weren't such a pain to get. This would eliminate so many problems. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Awww :( I still don't understand why the NC Mall can't just sell gift boxes. Plenty of people would buy them by the bundle and that way we don't have to depend on the cards to get them. If anything, I wanted to get that capsule since there's a chance to get the Garden Tea Dress (which a LOT of people continue to seek). So at least you have a GOOD capsule ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Kakata Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 XD true, but I need gift boxes to send the items people want ... I need GBC to trade for certain items ... but I need boxes to send anyway! ARGH it's all such a mess >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Let us force boxes to be sold in the mall and reduce Neopets' first world problems! I'm very serious xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Kakata Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 XD I just wish I had paid closer attention and saved myself a lot of cash. I could always open all the capsules and take a chance that way ... Y/N? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 It's a big risk...especially for duplicates soo...unless you like almost all that it has to offer then probably not :/ How many did you buy exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Kakata Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 6 -_-;; I opened two and I've traded 1 away to an absolute gem of a Neopian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaana Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I remember when I had three cards, over two accounts. I was constantly playing the "where's the box" game. Stuff like "I'll send you 3 caps from my side and the MME and another cap from my main" Good times...not... I don't know, I kind of think gift boxes should be free, or at least very very cheap.

GuardianAwesome Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm sorry to hear about the capsules. :( I know how you feel... I managed to just about waste all the NC and boxes I bought for my main because I was stupid and didn't plan ahead. I agree with increasing the availability of gift boxes. I keep all my NC on one account, and I don't like having to waste the boxes just trying to get them to my sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Kakata Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Gift boxes should utterly be free, but TNT is making too much money from limited GBC sales to allow that to happen. I just learned a very expensive mistake -_-;; When I get boxes again, I think I'll give some of my 'common' items to Neopians on here who don't have anything to customise their pets with. No-one is going to trade for them openly so why not make someone happy? I'm sorry to hear about the capsules. :( I know how you feel... I managed to just about waste all the NC and boxes I bought for my main because I was stupid and didn't plan ahead. I agree with increasing the availability of gift boxes. I keep all my NC on one account, and I don't like having to waste the boxes just trying to get them to my sides. My problem is I had a TON of boxes ... But I foolishly gave them away when I was doing my Cloud Facepaint giveaway a few months ago. I didn't predict my source of Nc Cards going bust (or near bust; GAME is in administration) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataluna Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 i hate the box thing. so frustrating. and i would have been confuzzled too, the artwork is just a re-worked version of the just retired GBC so argh! especially for transferring items to side accounts. a lot of the cheaper items i just trade for duplicates if i use them often enough :( good luck getting boxes, hopefully they will be out in a week or so.. (probably 2 weeks but TNT have been changing stuff lately, so who knows?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Kakata Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Boxes tend to come out in the middle of the month and retire at the end from what I've seen looking on previous caps on JellyNeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodnymph Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If you buy a card roughly how many boxes do you get from it. i have to travel about 20 miles to get a card so i try to buy caps when they are available, but the last one i bought i only got one box from and i used that to lend my daughter a dress for her uni. Would it be worth the drive to buy a few cards.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Kakata Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm honestly not sure, I can't remember how many boxes I got from UK cards :C Some good news; after a bit of trading, I managed to get all the items that I wanted, and I have a lot of extra nonsense that others can trade for XD After all the tears, some good came of it! I got my precious Heart of the Forest so Arlialah is gorgeous! (I might have undersold my Flower Wings, but hey, I'm happy!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
