Confirmed to be shipped from Neopets HQ itself. There's a rug that's a map of Neopia, and there's a throw pillow of an angry Purple Kougra. I'm tempted by the rug, I.
On February 8, 2020's news update, TNT announced a limited run of 'Neopets 20th Anniversary' themed merchandise, available to be ordered by any Neopian and shipped globally:
Did someone say merch?! That's right, we have new merch available now in celebration of our 20th birthday, straight from the official Neopets HQ! These limited-edition items will only be available until supplies last, so don't diddle-daddle and get yours before they run out!
The online store was set up on the Shopify platform, and was run directly by TNT themselves. (No third parties this time!) Two different items were available, along with both in a bundle:
- Neopets 20th Anniversary Rug: $39.99 USD
- Neopets 20th Anniversary Throw Pillow: $24.99 USD
- Both of the items above, bundled for $50.00 USD
The purpose of selling these items was to serve as a test for TNT with setting up an online store, sourcing the items, and dealing with the shipping logistics. The number of items available was unknown, but was limited, all of which sold out by February 20th.
