.. sneaking a peek in the workshop ..

Blog 113013 Arcade 2 a

Every child that celebrates Santa’s visit always wants to take a peek into his workshop, right?  To see the magical place where all the toys are put together and bagged up to be delivered on Christmas Eve to all the good little (and big) boys and girls.  It’s tradition… and it has provided many fun film bits over the years too.  We watch those movies about the holidays and about the North Pole just waiting to see just where Santa works.  For the December round of The Arcade Gacha Event, Scarlet Chandrayaan of Alouette has created Santa’s Workshop.  You will have to play for all the stuffs with the house and the fireplace shelf unit as rares, everything is just adorable.  The chair offers assorted animations including Santa lap sits!  On the mantle, I have hung the cute monogrammed stockings that Emery Milneaux of Commoner created for this event.  In addition, I had fun playing with the Frostivus skating diorama from Sienia Trevellion of Lark.  This cute display has multiple skating animal characters that skate around on the ice.  While there is a skating base free for all, the Christmas option seen here is a rare prize.  The cute penguin putting the star on the tree is from Aime Takaaki for MishMash.  Her little animals are awesome and in the Gacha machine, you can also try for an adorable penguin avatar!  Zen Zarco for BoOgErS brings some all-time favorite toys to the gacha machines with a beaming red firetruck and a number train only two of the prize options.  Katharine McGinnis of Intrigue Co. offers her very popular Plushie Pals this round with the little owl and his forest friends.  While Hyasynth Tiramisu of SilentSparrow has created cute Elemen-Tails – stuffed animals that you can hold or display such as the Smoke colored Fire Foxy here.

Along with all the gifty goodies, we have some awesome items from Marisa Kira from D!va bringing us the beautiful Daisy hair.  The version with the long side pony tails, Type B, is the rare version…and it is worth playing the gacha many times to get the favored prize!  The awesome coat that I am wearing is from Kelly Iwish of Elate!  You can play for several colors including some lovely two-tone versions.  I am also wearing the Blair skin in peach tone from Nina Helix of Birdy Skins.  Each prize comes with appliers for Slink hands and feet and different brow colors too!  And those cute heels on my toes are from Betty Doyle of Ingenue – the Noella Heels in Pond.  And to top…er, tip.. it all off, the nail appliers are from Lynaja Bade for KOSH which are offered in cute holiday and other patterns for both fingers and toes!

twinklepug Arcade 112913

I squealed when I saw The Arcade Gacha prize from Culprit!  The Pugs are just adorable and so many options to win.  The face is so very detailed and has such expression…just like pugs do!  There are so many different ones too.  The rares include Voyager Pug which is wearing a space bubble helmet and his green space suit; the Clint Pugwood with his big cowboy hat and badge; and the Pug of Steel … yes, the superpug of them all!  But don’t think that all the cuteness is in the rares.. oh no!  Cuteness abounds through the prizes so you can’t go wrong with Pug Angel, Tinkerpug or Nursey Pug.  Even Frankenpug, Count Pugula and Risky Pugniz are cute!  What about the musical options with Elvis Pugsley, Lady Pugaga and even Daft Pug?  And there are also the holiday options with Grinch Pug, Elf Pug and Pugdolf!  So take a look at The Arcade Shopping Guide and decide which is your favorite so that you can head out to The Arcade Gacha Event on December 1st and start playing to win the Pug of your dreams!

December2013

The Arcade Gacha Event opens in less than 2 days!  This event is one of the favorites across the grid and brings many creators together in one location for lots of gacha fun.  The December round is sure to not disappoint.  The Shopping Guide is up and there are definitely some items that we all will be clamoring for … buying and buying with the hope to get the particular color or that ever evasive rare item.  The trading between friends, trading within the group and making new friends and just the overall fight to get onto the sim. Patience is indeed a virtue when The Arcade first opens the gates.  Remember that the event lasts the full month so you do have some time. And as almost every item is transfer…you might score some great holiday gift ideas as well!  Keep your ears open with your friends so you will know what they might be coveting from this round… and if you are a gacha addict, you will most likely have just the right thing holding a spot in your inventory.  And did you know, there is always a contest for those pics that you take with all of your goodies?  Check out the contest info here!

Check out The Arcade’s website for latest news, blogger posts and of course, don’t miss The Shopping Guide.
