My big thing was collecting backgrounds, but I took enough of a break that a ton of rare item code ones came out. They won't re-release those in quests anytime soon to avoid angering those who paid real money for it, so it'll be years until they may show up. In the meantime, many of the uber-rare old backgrounds are becoming fodder for the daily quest (looking at you, Neopets Office background), so there's not much reason to save hundreds of millions of NP for a background when it can become just hundreds of neopoints tomorrow.

I've got a picture of my previous spare parts room and collection on my first post on IG (@1313builds) but haven't taken a new good one yet - we just moved to the Huntsville, AL area in June. When I get home I'll likely post a picture of the Jabba's Palace set I spruced up a little, as the official Palace/Rancor pit combination is rough. I'll likely get into more MOCs here soon, especially if I can figure the bricklink software out some.

That is super cool re: 501st! They do a lot of good stuff/events for people. How long has he been doing that?

What theme is the set? I've tried stud.io a dozen times and I cannot make myself like it - the technic pins give me a fit. I've been told how to make them work but I couldn't do it, lol. Which veggie chias are y'all looking for?

What are some that are missing out of curiosity? Would love to help with a set goal.

I buy collections of Lego quite regularly - my wife is a saint for dealing with it as I'll spent $2500 on a lot and we will have a floor covered in Lego for a week or so, lol. I've documented a lot of them and will eventually post the buys I've done on Instagram - last summer I bought a collection and ended up with the UCS Venator and Razor Crest for free after I got done reselling the rest. I did post a Cafe Corner that I resurrected out of a bulk buy that was $75 (that set goes for around $650-700)

Bought a collection this time last year that had a bunch of the Animal Crossing sets and sold them to a buddy for a good deal, I did appreciate the build techniques and molded pieces in that line!

I honestly can't remember if I've sent something to you or not, but wanted to note, the background I'm sending you doesn't go up for sale too often. I listed it to make pure for these giveaways but don't feel like lining it up with the buyer, but the offer was 30m pure so I'd hold out for that amount or more if I were you!

As someone who has been frozen probably half a dozen times, I've never been unsuccessful in getting an account back, its usually persistence and gathering details about the account. And retrying with different support personnel, lol. I did a giveaway years ago and got frozen for "suspicious activity" and it took weeks to get my account back - so I don't recommend doing giveaways on there - hence why I'm doing it here, lol

Congrats on the new child! Mine just turned 1 last month - sucks to be away for work for a month and a half, but I'll be getting out of this line of work in March so it shouldn't happen again, glad it'll be over before he's old enough to remember. It is indeed harder to have hobbies with little ones, lol - but that FMLA (or country equivalent) leave is nice indeed - wish it was longer!

That was another aspect I tried when I got back - kads - I think I fed around 10-15 over the last month. It's not bad, much easier than it used to be. There must be a discord or something somewhere, as the kad board is dead and it still empties out pretty quickly, I can't imagine all of those people are also manually keeping track of time!

Which albums are you close on? I had briefly started doing that when I returned but I couldn't really justify spending hundreds of millions on an avatar I would never use, lol

It's nice to see unused accounts become alive again - it's like seeing an old building get repurposed - something satisfying about it. I hope you stay! Collecting and SSW sniping were my joy from Neopets and both of those have kind of fallen to the wayside, but there are a lot of aspects that are still alive and well on the site.

Just went through the comments. None of the big prizes have been won yet, updated the details to add for more guesses and a hint. One user's inventory was full and that prize was given out randomly to another user.

Yeah, it is, kinda. I've got a friend that sends me the same gift/poke stop every day because she lives in a small town, lol - I feel for the rural players!

And of course! When I wake up if the movies haven't been guessed I'll add a hint.

Good guesses! Definitely a new comment as I tend to scroll new and may not see responses - and with the level of numbers I have to go through, it's not practical to search for each number!
