The new issue came in the mail today. There wasn't anything about NeoSchools in it, as promised in the last issue, so I guess they really were put off.

Also, there wasn't a plushie guide. How is a plushie collector supposed to know what is coming up if they won't publish a guide in every issue?

The editorial sucked as well. It was answered just like the one inthe NT. "Has this item been released?" "Can this petpet have more colors?" More of the regular. Nothing really special. This issue was centered around pirates. Here is the table of contents:

The 10 Signs Your Addicted to Neopets was funny. I have about half the symptoms.

lol The pictures of the TCGs were nice, as well. Thw winner of the art contest was *awesome*. The rest of the magazine was basically just fluff. I didn't really see anything useful. The game codes were widely known as well. Nothing surprising. Not really any new information. If you are a collector, I'd say to get it because the pictures are nice and such, but if you are looking for anything new, don't bother. There was also more non-Neopets advertisements in this issue than in any of the previous ones. Is it just me or are these issues filling up with more and more large page advertisements, big pictures, and stories, and less useful information?
