I want that Pteri...no, I don't want it, I need it!

Best Faerie Pet EVER!!! (In my opinion)

The artists are just getting better and better!

It took me all of 2 seconds to decide that I had to have one. Four to decide to sell my honey potion and green sticky hand. 15 minutes to get everything sorted since my connection is running slow, and 1 second to avoid the biggest personal disaster on Neopets this year by remembering at the last moment to morph my koi before painting faerie. I'm currently trying to round up enough cash for a faerie niptor. Say hi to Kepheus.

Enough said.

that looks soo cool u must have like the first one in neopia

WOW... That faerie Pteri is AWESOME!! Never would've thought I'd say that for a pteri color... just WOW... very impressed.

Actually, two other people on Neocolours beat me to it. Yes, we're all quite mad.

Amazing new Faerie Pteri. If only all faerie pets were like that- especially the kinda ugly Faerie Bruce... :P (Well, I only have Bruces for pets and plan to keep it that way on my account. If it wasn't so, I'd seriously consider saving up for a Faerie Pteri.)

Hmm, Chia Bomber 2 is okay. Seems only to be a redraw of the original rather than anything different in gameplay. I'm surprised they haven't retired the original though.

yeah i agree with you about the game i was hoping some new cool things would be diff like in meerca chase two but its exactly the same

The movement has been ruined in Chia Bomber 2. It used to be that being halfway into an intersection and turning would make the Chia continue moving... Now this is harder and you stop with your face in the intersection to be shot at... Makes it much harder

Agreed. My Christmas pteri will have to get a new "do." Now for that elusive faerie PB, which I guess will have jumped substantially in value.

And, it rhymes!!! Faerie Pteri. Too much. Too bad I don't have a pteri named Larry or Jerry or Mary.

I checked out the Faerie PB prices and it seems to have only jumped around 50k for most sellers. There are a few still asking for 800k, so probably worthwhile jumping on those sellers before someone twigs that the Faerie Pteri has seen release...

the faerie pteri is awesome!!! I'd get one if they allow you to have 5 pets... I can't morph or abandon one of my current pets for it :'(

I also won the Random Contest for last week!!

All I can say is dang, that faerie pteri rocks. I wish more pets looked like that.
