Ya, hopefully they maybe use my idea. I think that it would work.

Its not repeatable either, and the article doesn't say it isn't.

I remade the character and got to Kamadan and tried following the instructions in the November issue of PC Gamer to get my Gray Giant mini pet. I typed /bonusitems but the Broken Toy did not appear in my inventory. I guess because it appeared on my first character and I deleted him? Does the Broken Toy not respawn like the other bonus items? (I still get the Ithas Bow every time I type the command.) I would be very upset if I lost my mini pet because of this.

I discovered it while Gaile was in town, so I asked what was up and she explained it. It's frustrating.
My best suggestion is (for those who haven't already lost a toy this way) to do the quest before deleting any characters, and put the miniature in storage.
I don't know if you can put the broken toy in storage and get the quest with another Elonian character, though.

(Isn't that what you understood from the PCGamer details?)

I also dragged the Broken Toy to the trash can when I discovered I could not receive the quest with a Tyrian/Canthan character. I didn't think for a second that I wouldn't see it again. You make a very good point that people would be able to get multiples if you made a blanket statement that anyone who deleted their item could get a new one by simply contacting ANet.
Is there some way that this can be restored on a case-by-case basis? Thanks for any consideration.

Why would you trash something that was worth cash? 'WTS Grey Giant 20k' would have got you more PM's than you could reply to, let alone trying to sell it for market value.
Sir Skullcrasher
I got Grey Giant and took me about 5 minutes to get the quest done. Don't know if i want to keep him or not.
Lavindathar
All worked for me, flawlessly.

I'm having the same problem. Everything worked fine during the preview event but its not spawning now. I did the /bonusitems command and all of the bonus items show up except for the broken toy. What gives?
Knightsaber Sith
Mine just showed up in my inventory when I first made my dervish without me having to type the command.

I recieved this response after trying to tell them that toy quest I abandoned (because I changed my mind and wanted the 2k exp for another char), was not offered again by Mhak. With this in mind, I deleted the toy model QUEST item (not the completed version), hoping that would triger Mhak to offer the toy quest. As far as I know, you can always get quest items (for any type of quest) back provided you do not complete the quest. I would be happy to provide them another unused pc gamer magazine key if all else fails.
But I was wrong and this is the response I got from the Guild Wars Team.

Hello,
Thanks for contacting the Guild Wars Support Team.
We regret instances where players lose characters or items, whether it is through the actions of unfriendly or unscrupulous players, through deletion accidents, or through other means. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to replace such things; Guild Wars does not have the capability to recover lost or deleted characters or items. No matter the cause for such loss, replacement of such things is simply not something that we are able to offer or support. Again, we are most sympathetic about your loss.
Thank you for your understanding and for your support of Guild Wars.
Regards,
The Guild Wars Support Team

Diablo???
Yikes....
Knightsaber Sith
I never would've taken that kind of gamble on a special promo mini pet. Certainly not for a measly 2k xp......
dansamy
Yeah, my survivor ele died during the quest for the pet. (Too low a level to be messing with level 8 monsters, especially with only flare and firestorm. 
) I finished the quest, got my giant and re-rolled her after the giant was safely in STORAGE.

GL with a fix guys, might be hard for them to do due to the nature of the beast, (being a pet and all).. I almost did the same thing (deleted my char with the broken toy because I didn't like his eye colour, lol), but thought better of it/otherwise... Didn't want to loose my one-time-issue toy for good
calderstrake
Thanks Dookie for taking the bullet and submitting an official request.
I tlooks like the only way to get one at this point is to either add another code or buy the pet in-game.

Maybe it's answered already, but I'm gonna ask anyway. If I get multiple keys from different magazines, could I use them all? Or could I only use 1?
Knightsaber Sith
One key per account.

Well, that response seemed more like a" Duh, tards you should have known that if you delete the quest item that you can't have it back. Anet responded like we were wanting our characters back.
Question? Can anyone else think of any 'Quest Item' in the game that you cannot get back once lost. I have never lost one that I couldn't recover, so why then can we not recover this 'Quest Item'? Yes, I know that it is special so don't call it a quest item and trick all of us mindless robot gamers into thinking we can recover it if we lose it.
