What are your thoughts?
Quite honestly I believe they will all become so cheap it won't even matter.

Having said that, your best bet is to wait until after the event, see what prices are, and make a decision from there. As the token trader will be there until a week after the event.

Very interested in seeing what these new RBR rewards will be. I'm hoping I can paint my beetle like Zippy like I've been asking for for years.

The minis presumably aren't exclusive anymore so there's no point in getting one unless you need it. Just sell or hold Lunar Tokens, or advertise as helping someone get the mini of their choice.

Also I just realized that this is now a free HoM point.

so the tokens are out...and the answer is:
ALL celestial, past current and future....

so I picked up a piggie and a horse (though probably will be around next year to get one then....but---)....will do the gift bags for the snake....

yess....you missed the ALL part of the celestials...ALL 12 not all past, ALL of them that there will be (there is a roster, dog, monkey, sheep? as well as the past ones...so all 12 are available for the 100 lunar tokens/celestial token).

Worth a nice 150e for selling one in the first three hours of the event. Sold two others for one armbrace and 75e. Price will be insignificant by tomorrow.

I got lucky this year and got an extra snake one ofter the other. With the token I bought the dog so now all I need is a celestial horse, sheep, monkey and rooster. I plan on seeing if I can trade the snake and throw in an extra undedicated mini to sweeten the deal.

I like the beetle mini but I don't want to spend so much time grinding a game that I have no control over the outcome of.

You can still have a racing beetle friend as a ranger pet. I already have one at 20. The interesting thing about it is when they're summoned in the menagerie, you get a selection of styles to choose from. THEN when you zone, you get different colors of that style. You have options to acquire it. I chose the gold zaishen coin plus 100g. Then you go and charm it.

So if I got it right you can only reclaim one mini? I somehow hoped that if I farmed enough tokens I could get all the minis from the years I've been unlucky...I mean, in all those years I only ever found mini in fortunes once, the dragon (last year, right?). So now I'm undecided wether to get the tiger (the one I had tried the most for) or keep for the snake in case I don't get it the normal way....

Same for me, I always found it very fun, but once I started seeing I had no chance of ever winning despite effort...meh.

I spent my gold coin and got the ranger pet, but I had always wanted the greased lightning mini, but alas...with only one functioning eye ....it has been kind of hard to do the racing...I tried, and almost finished, but due to lag --I wond up back about 20 feet when time ran out (my best so far )....

(and Mintha...its why having additional accounts is nice at these times...I can get the piggie I missed and the horse and still try my luck at opening the fortunes for a snake!)

Hi guys,

I've got a little problem with the World-Famous Racing Beetle.
It doesn't add me 1 in my HoM. I'm staying at 104 minis instead of 105
Does anyone have the same problem ?
