If you like the selection of items the Basics Shop has to offer, you are in for a treat ! The NC Mall is now selling three different Basics Bundles: Colourful Clothing ** Everyday Adornments ** Wigging Out. These bundles contain items from the Basics Shop + all-new bonus items. Hurry to the NC Mall as the bundles will only be on sale through March 30.
Did you get some of the bonus items ? Then please help us model them ! Check out what we need at our Model For SunnyNeo page.
Have a bit of time inbetween giving junk to Dr. Landelbrot? Why not check out the SunnyNeo Dressing Room? With the dressing room you are able to search by Themes such as Altador Cup, Faerie, Steampunk, Winter, and many more. Or maybe you want to try and colour coordinate your pet's outfit. Well with the dressing room you can do that too! You can search by an assortment of colours to be able to easily find clothes that match.
If you didn't know this already, the SunnyNeo Dressing Room lets you filter and sort by special groups, themes, and colours, to find just what you are looking for! If you have tried this feature before and thought some items were missing, then please try it again, we found a bug in it and just fixed it today so it should be ready to go.
While we were at it we made it so now all the pets show up happy when they are trying on clothes! Because trying on clothes is a great experience!
Not another dress to try on!
The Moltara Portal is now working and takes us to Dr Landelbrot, who is aboard the spaceship The Coincidence and needs help in repairing the Random Events machine.
Our guide now includes the new step: Aboard the Coincidence - check it out to see what happens during this part.
Give me all your junk! Yay!
The NC portion of our guide is up to date and will show you which two items you recevie each day.
Edit: It appears that the items Dr Landelbrot is requesting are having their prices rise greatly. Items Neopians were discarding daily, are now thousands.
We have lowered our Packrat List drastically to 50nps and under the last few weeks. However, some of these items are being asked for and are now spiking in price.
We are hoping after the event, things will return to normal, but be sure that we will check into this after things settle in Neopia.

The control panel in the Water Tower of Moltara City is down to one light after you unlock today's puzzle. Who knows whether tomorrow we solve the panel and wait, or if we get to jump through the portal and meet the mysterious Neopian behind the message. What could he possibly want us for? Where does the portal take us? We are sure to know soon.
He looks friendly enough...
If you are having any trouble figuring out the control panel, please visit our Control Panel guide. We have the steps on how to complete the puzzle, as well as a table that visually shows what each step does. This way, you can see if you've made an error just by comparison.
TNT has activated this and last week's NP Wearables.

Well it seems like Neopets has now been sold over to JumpStart.
And to make this post longer, here is the FAQ that TNT has posted:
Who's JumpStart?
JumpStart loved Neopets so much that they became our new benevolent overlords! (Their logo even has a star in it. It was fate.)
They don't jump everywhere they go or anything like that – that would be tiring – but they do make mobile and multiplayer online games. In addition to their own properties, like JumpStart and Math Blaster, they also create games for companies like DreamWorks Animation and the NFL. You can find out more about JumpStart at www.jumpstart.com.
And now we're part of JumpStart, too. We're pretty excited to be the newest member of the family.
What does this mean for Neopets right now? What about the future?
Neopets.com isn't going anywhere. To start, Nickelodeon and JumpStart will work together and help us get everything moved over to our new home. All the behind-the-scenes stuff that's needed for the site to run has to be transitioned over. You shouldn't experience any downtime on the site, but please bear with us while we focus on getting all that done. Even with the help of our new cohorts at JumpStart, it's a lot of work! We'll keep you updated.
Once that's complete, we can get back to making interesting things for you to do. This all just happened so we don't have anything definitive yet, but our first meeting with JumpStart had a lot of talk of how they could help with new Games Room games and mobile stuff (that we know you've been asking about) so that'll give you an idea. They were excited and we were excited and there was excitement-induced flailing by all. So everyone's quite enthusiastic about the cool stuff we could do together if only we could stop flailing long enough.
TL;DR - Our first order of business is to get settled in our new home, and then we can get back to focusing on new content for you to enjoy. Also, there will be flailing but it's the good kind.
What is happening to The Neopets Team?
Not much. For the most part, the team you know and (hopefully) love isn't going anywhere. (We love you, too, by the way.) We'll continue to make weird items and crazy stories and try our best to keep you entertained. We're just part of JumpStart now, and they're Neopians, too.
Mr. Insane also wants to assure you that "the Meepits can be electrostatically confined to the ∯W sigma plane", whatever that means.
What does this mean for my account?
First off, rest assured that all of your data and progress will remain intact! You won't lose a thing. We wanted to get that out of the way for everyone's sanity. *nod*
During the transition, your current Nickelodeon Games account will be split into two accounts. One account will stay with us and log you in to Neopets.com and PetpetPark.com. The other account will stay with Nickelodeon Games and log you in to MonkeyQuest.com. The accounts will have the same username but they will no longer be connected. For example, if you decide to change the password on Neopets, it will not be changed on Monkey Quest. (Because of this, we and Nickelodeon advise you to change the password on both accounts when the time comes so that they're not the same, for security purposes!)
We'll let you know when this part of the transition is complete!
What happens to my NC?
For now, your NC balance will still be shared across all three sites: Neopets, Petpet Park, and Monkey Quest. At some point, there may be changes in how NC is allocated among the sites. We will notify you of any changes in how your NC can be used.
What if I have Nickelodeon Game Cards that I'd planned to use on Neopets/Petpet Park?
For now, redeemed NC will still be useable on Neopets, Petpet Park, and Monkey Quest. At some point there may be changes in how redeemed NC from Nickelodeon Game Cards may be used among the sites. We will notify you of any changes in how your NC can be used.
I'm Premium. Is my membership affected?
Nope! Your membership stays the same and you can still manage it through https://nc.neopets.com/managemembership/ as you always have. You will continue to see the same information on your billing statement, but we'll update you if this changes in the future. If you have any specific questions about your subscription, please write in and let us know!
Where did that one sock go?
Probably Dragona. Or maybe she was set up and it was actually Meep-[REDACTED]
So today we say good bye to Nickelodean Games, but not without some gifts! Checking the New Features page the next week will award you two plushies, and 150 NC!
Normally you cannot collect NP items on your side accounts, but according to snarkie:
