..or today was just a giant tease, in which case it wasn't a very funny prank. >>;
They never fixed the glitch from the other day though. Where the plushie said "replacement" I had a friend send me one, cause she got it knowing I didnt, she sent it, my events said I got it, but it wasn't appearing in my inventory, and then later that day, all of a sudden, there it is. If the glitch was fixed, it would have produced two, not one.
EDIT
I'm gonna wait till later today to check the advent. Maybe by then, they'll have it working again.

Yep, no apology, no compensation, no even acknowledgement that it happened, and I don't expect any today either.
Glitches are understandable, but when they don't do anything to fix them, that's just stupid. Come on TNT, the advent calendar is supposed to be fun, not disappointing and vexing!
I'm gonna start checking here every day before I collect my prize, this is ridiculous.

seems their being bought by that other company only made them buggier.

I mean, if TNT had planned on giving us nothing they couldve pulled the old Pant Devil Prank (You find a Seasonal Attack Pea... The Pant Devil steals your Seasonal Attack Pea!)
Probably just a glitch. TNT hates us.

Hmm, my SDB has a glitch that may be related to the advent item (or lack thereof...): it says I have 153 pages of items, but the 153rd page simply says "End of results reached!".
Wed Dec 20, 2006 4:19 pm
Totally should have checked here first! Now I'm without my "replace," whatever that is supposed to mean, and no prize today! My SDB number is right, so I don't think that's what's going on

And won't it be grand when/if the sidebar requirement was collecting everyday?

I thought about this, too. I am going to be in town this December every day and decided that I would be able to get the prize every day, in case that is a way toward getting the sidebar. Now it looks like I am out of luck.

"replace" was probably just the entry in the database for that item. Kind of like when you make a sample letter like this:
and then when you send it to someone, you forget to swap their name for the words NAME GOES HERE.
I expect that those who did not get the Bori plushie were intended to have gotten something else. Most likely, TNT had that alternate item planned, then decided that was a bad item idea (copyrighted, or insulting, or just plain dumb) and it should be turned into something else, so they deleted it and put the word "Replace" in the item name as a reminder to themselves. And then forgot. Definitely forgivable!
Any way you look at it, I doubt they'll be able to give us the item, unless they give one to EVERYBODY, which won't be fair either... because I doubt they keep track of who gets which item.
However, it seems that NO one has gotten anything today, so I am hopeful that they can get it taken care of.
And honestly, even if they don't... free stuff 30 days out of 31 isn't such a bad ratio!
Dear NAME GOES HERE,
Thank you for buying ITEM NAME yesterday at my shop.
I hope you have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Me.
