The Mini Asura, street value 20k, tons and tons out there
The Mini Graw, street value 100k 20-30e, ohhh ahhh they had stacks and stacks of tickets for them at each event, and were giving them out like hot cakes....

CAN THE USA GET 1... JUST 1 SPECIAL MINI???!??!!!

I think, they saw that The Mini Graw were holding alittle value, and decided to crush it...

Note.. the view of Anet and rewards... Kanaxai and Panda were top lvl guild rewards from a Tournament... that isnt easy... yet, they were also prizes for title contest, "tell a friend", wallpaper contests???

How can one area get TONS of rare minis, yet 1 area of the globe get none?

**Was trying to find somewhere that broke down the market to show how many customers / players are from where, but i cant...***

You're forgetting that most Asians countries pay per month, if I'm not mistaken.

Will you be able to use more than one code? E.g. if I acquire 2 of the same magazines from a source.

Check the link. There are contests from magazines in several european countries.

OT: I believe Gaile said, after the news about the Netherlands/Belgium magazine and the contest got out and all Americans & non-benelux residents started complaining, more deals were coming, for both other European countries & America, obviously these are the European ones Gaile was talking about, and I guess it will come soon enough.

However when that happens, it'll be just a matter of time before people start complaining about how those minipets aren't worth much anymore because there are too many contests ¬___¬

This means prices may drop now. Yes it would be nice to get something special. But I'm not holding my breath. Anet has disappointed me more times than I can count when it comes to promotional stuff. Mini asura and gray giant were a joke compared to the Asian minis. Its not so much the value of the Asian minis but how much more nicer they look compared to the asura and gray giant.

Not really bothered about the price of a minipet, when i get one i want it for my collection, if i can trade for antoher thats good by me too, did that with a double asura i got.

However I agree with max this really isn;t fair on other countries that don't get access to the offers or mags, while I live in scotland i will obviously be able to get the UK mags, to get these

But poor Max and others livign in these places not supported won't be able to

I trust that Anet will be doign offers for our American friends and others soon, but obviously the wait it not nice for them, and its frustrating waiting on news of when they will be out.

Still want my kunvang dragon mini but kind of loathe to pay £45 to get the CE edition when it will only add that to my account. Can't affoard the pricetag on the pet ingame either, so have to wait a whiel for it as Anet will not offer these any other way

We've got quite a few threads going on this already.

And Gaile has already said that we will be getting the same in North America.

Hey, Guys,

We're really happy that these offers are getting out there, but have no fear! Beyond the local Grawl Giveaways we conducted at various fan shows this sumemr, we will be offering a similar, more-accessible opportunity for players in North America.
