Sugar Skull, Zombie, Vampire
The slots that these pets are occupying are currently up in the air. Here are the possible replacements:
Banana Swirl, Cherry Blossom Tiger, Dawn Breeze
Ice Leopard, Nature, New Years Tiger
We do, in fact, have 4 spots open for figurines. So, pick your four favorite out of the original three and the new possibilities :)
As another notice, we are thinking about pricing these--cost permitted--around $6 for a random one, $6 for a white one, and $10 for your choice of one (no random). I haven't figured out bulk discounts yet as I don't have the final quote until we submit all our sheets. :)

Melo Figurines
Pets
So, anyone who's been on the forums (specifically Aywas Talk) will have seen that I'm playing with the idea of getting melo figurines made. Why melos? Prototype development for figurines is very expensive, so we can only have one figurine at this time if we want one, and melos have the most colors and the most popularity. :)
Anyway, the figurines would be three inches, solid vinyl with that beautiful vinyl smell. They will be packaged in a box that gives you a random melo figurine of 10 different colors, so every box will be full of excitement. *flail*
Aside from that, there will be pure white melo figurines available for you to color on with markers, paint, etc and make your own customs. We can have monthly or bi-monthly "melo custom figurine" contests if enough people are interested in coloring white figurines for prizes. :)
Here are the colors we've tentatively chosen. I say tentatively in that you can give me suggestions for replacing out a color with another color, and if enough people agree it'll be done. :)
In closing, before any of this can happen (and I hope it can, man, I want a ton of these things all over my room and house... everywhere you turn--MELO!), there needs to be sufficient interest from the userbase. So, poll time! Keep in mind that USD buyers would be first, so if you CAN use USD (or any other PayPal supported currency, lol) pick that first before GP!
The trading cards are still on the list of cool ideas, but since they require so much custom art and templating, they might be be around for a while - just for anyone wondering!

Happy Birthday Kaz and Shoe!
Pets
Happy Birthday, Kaz and Shoe!
It's June 15, which means that Kaz and Shoe just turned 21! .... Or, they would, if they aged. Which they don't, so I guess they've been "turning 21" for a while... a long, long while. But it's still their birthday, so let's celebrate and feel happy for them!
In fact, they seem willing to let you poke them every hour of the day! They might even give you something, though it comes with a condition... after all, it's THEIR birthday, not yours (unless you're Hiiro, but whatever).
You have 24 chances to poke them. Let's start now!
Please note that sending the present to a user and asking/having that user send it back to you is violating the conditions of this feature - so don't do it! >:|

Scavenger Hunt Prizes
Pets
All prizes for the Scavenger Hunt have been awarded finally. Enjoy the spoils of the hunt!
Note that if I made any mistakes/forgot you, let me know. Post as a comment if I did. It took me like... five hours to send these prizes out and I might have made some mistakes a few times. There were so many people I awarded stuff to!
Now to rest my fingers... guh.

Contests and Designs
Pets
Alright guys, I know everyone is waiting for the Scavenger Hunt results.... and unfortunately I don't have them for you. And to be the barer of even more bad news, I do not yet have the results of the Dragon Custom Writing contest. However, that along with the May Custom Design contest results will be posted here shortly as my last few judges send in their votes.
To keep you busy though the newest round of contests have been posted so go ahead and join on in!
Xaoc Design Contest 3 - July 2010 That's right! It's time, finally, for another xaoc design contest. This month though there is also a prize pot for the runner ups and the theme is HORROR. So head on over to the link, check it out, and start planning. I can't wait to see all your creepy and most gut-wrenching entries.
July 2010 Monthly Design Contest As always, the new monthly contest is up. July, themed of course. Beaches, picnics, American 4th of July... anything stereotypical greatly encouraged. Can you come up with something interesting for the potion? Awesome!
July 2010 BP Design Contest Again, this will now be a regular thing. Want to make a nice edited pet for July, your best buy is to enter it in here! Doesn't have to be monthly themed, but it would be great if it was. Make sure you check the rules.
Haven't quite yet saved enough money for the next BC release (July1st-7th) then don't forget about our pet coloration threads where we pay YOU to make pets for us! We still have multiple threads open, that won't be available much longer so you better get as many submissions in as possible before time runs out. We're still accepting insi colorations as well as vions and drylis colorations for ara, the alternate hybrids and the new lacers! Threads will be updated in the near future.
