That moment when you..

[BEE.]

...remember about the 'Easter Bunny' avatar. 1 day late. I can't believe I have to wait another year! D': I told myself that this would be the year I get it. But I've been too busy and have only been online for a few minutes each day for the Festival of Neggs.

 

I could really use Hermione's time turner right now. -.-

I did the same thing with the Valentine's avatar. I remembered to get the theme, but not the avatar. /facepalm

Since you reminded me I tried it just in case, and I got it. Weird.

... double-check your Food Club bets and realize that you probably missed checking off one of the arenas in one of your bets, so that your potential payoff of 555,696 NP is reduced to only 92,616 NP for that bet. On the plus side, it might mean an extra 92,616 NP for 3 other possible outcomes that I bet on. But now I'm really hoping Admiral Blackbeard doesn't win in Hidden Cove.

OH! So did I! I didn't even think to try it anyway.

Well uh, forget what I said in the first post! :)

...frantically log on at hyperspeed to visit the Snowager, only to find you were too slow by a few seconds. <_<

Some of my guild friends actually set alerts on their phones to remind them of seasonal avatars. Pesky little things!

Congrats on the surprise avatar!

Since I am EST I have a pretty easy time getting the 6am - 7am and the 2pm - 3pm, but I rarely get the 10pm - 11pm time slot. My frustration is getting blasted and not getting the avatar. I had it happen both times for multiple days in a row. It makes me want to tear my hair out!

I went into a panic yesterday about thinking I forgot to get the Easter avatar...and then I checked and I already had it. Of course. All that panicking for nothing!

[siniri]

... check the Food Club results, and realize that if you had gone with the bets you worked out on your own instead of those of one of the "experts," you'd have made nearly 300k NP instead of losing nearly 80k.

Happened to me with the march 7th avatar.. And I also forgot about the valentine theme -.- didn't realize that until just a few days ago when I was checking through the list of themes.. sigh have to wait another year -_-

This is just a reminder that the OP was discussing missing a seasonal avatar. Please remain on topic by only discussing seasonal avatars here. All other Neopets related moments like this should only be placed on the Facepalm moments board.

Missed to get the Happy Birthday! avatar by 3 days when I started collecting avatars last year :(

[caughtinadreamx]

I can't tell you how many times I've done this. In fact, I missed the Sloth & Valentine's avatar on my new main. I've actually had to start setting reminders on my phone so I remember the seasonal avatars. xD

I have had the stuff for the Chef Bonju avvie for about a year now - and I completely missed August last year!! Arrg... How silly of me!
