Unique Spotlight – Wallatat

Word on the street is that you have to get a real WallaBee Tattoo if you want to earn this Unique. Don’t worry… it’ll only sting a bit!

Owner: JenBee997

How To Get: Wallatats are free for all! Just send JenBee997 an in-game message to request one! Despite the item description I promise it will be pain-free!

Meaning: Tattoos have continually been a big part of my life and my family’s life over the years. I’ve always been fascinated by the striking beauty of body art. So naturally I knew I wanted to create a tattoo Unique, although I wasn’t quite sure what kind of tattoo I wanted. But then Andrew Cameron came to the rescue! When I first saw this beautiful tattoo artwork he had created I was over the moon! What an amazing way to honor my two favorite things: WallaBee & Tats!

Which number Unique is this for you? This was my very first Unique and is so special to me. I have been an avid WallaBee player since 2015 and was super excited when Unique commissions were re-opened in 2016 which lead to the creation of the Wallatat. I have special plans for another Unique in 2018 so keep your eyes peeled!

Closing Thoughts: Players often ask me if I have a real WallaBee tattoo. I’ve gotten about 20 tattoos during my life so far and I love every single one of them! But my favorite is my foraging bee tattoo! Unfortunately when you tap it no honeycombs come out!

Unique Spotlight – Dalí

Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.

Owner: Wyando

How To Get: As I have different goals for each set, I am sure we’ll find something. Just ask.

Meaning: This Unique is a homage to my favourite artist. Part based on “The persistence of Memory.” “The egg” is a Dalinian image that symbolizes hope and love. Part of the Sculpture “Finger of God”

Which number Unique is this for you? This is my second Unique.

Closing Thoughts: I discovered Dalí when I was a teenager (School trip to the Museum Ludwig). And it is one of the few memories that lasts: I was standing in front of a canvas (way too near), and looking all over it (it’s 295m x 406m!) seeing those different parts. Still I wondered about a red “bloody wound” in the middle, which made no sense at all. And while the class was already going to the next room, I just couldn’t leave, instead I was going steps back, until I got that painting in its whole view – with the effect of seeing why that “bloody wound” was there. And I was stunned about the effect of this painting, which is until today my favourite painting of all: La Gare de Perpignan (Perpignan Train Station).

Unique Spotlight – Mommy and Me

No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you’re the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.

Owner: Mickeynme and KristiLu

How To Get: The first batch of Mommy and Me Uniques were gifted to those players who had offered upgrades or collected numbers for very little. “Just send junk” are the most beautiful words in this game and I wanted to thank those players who had helped me in the game. The second wave (still in low TDs) is available for missing 1955s for Mickeynme or TD upgrades where I do not have the 1955 or a TD. The Mommy and Me Unique is also available for missing 1991s for Kristilu.

Meaning: This Unique is a celebration of the mother-daughter relationship of Mickeynme and Kristilu. It is taken from a photo of our matching Mickey tattoos that we had inked when Kristilu turned 21. The tattoos and this Unique celebrates our mother-daughter bond and our love of Disney. We have the kind of “favorite dinner date,” “first on speed dial” relationship that others envy. Kristilu came up with the quote “No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you’re the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.” and it still makes me tear up when I read it.

Which number Unique is this for you? Mommy and Me is my first Unique, but hope to have another next year.

Closing Thoughts: In a mother-daughter relationship we learn about trust, about separation and connection, about putting another’s needs ahead of our own, and about who we are as individuals. If you raise your daughter with unconditional love, mutual respect, healthy boundaries, and realistic expectations, she will always find her way back to your arms and your heart.

Unique Spotlight – WallaBeemer M3 CSL

This baby will get you to the next foraging spot in a jiffy! Don’t ask me for the keys though. 😜 (And don’t forage while driving!)

Owner: BeeMW

How To Get: Just ask and (optional) keep me in mind if there is a Unique to share in return.

Meaning: The E46 ///M3 CSL is on the top of my list of favorite cars. And commissioning a Unique was slightly more affordable than the real one.

Which number Unique is this for you? This is my one and only.

Closing Thoughts: Drive safe! Seat belts save lives…

Weekly Buzz – 08/31/18

Hello Collectors,

Pumpkin spice, anyone? No? Alrighty then…

Behind the Curtain

We dropped the ball with an update last week. Sorry about that. Hopefully this week’s highlights make up for it.

The stork is nearing. There will soon be a little forager in our midst! We’ve planned for the first item in this set to release around the time of our baby girl’s birth… so it can happen at any time now (38w, 3d). Here’s a teaser for what you can expect in this set. Enjoy!

Big Riggin’ set is finally complete, along with all of the hidden Uniques! We weren’t kidding when we said ‘There’s more than meets the eye.’ Luckily for y’all, there are currently no more hidden Unique Items with this set. Take a breather, you’ve earned it.

We’ve found some real interesting things in our pockets… can anyone relate with us? I definitely have some lint in my pockets. Don’t forget to post your predictions for this set in JenBee997’s forum post.

Let’s talk Mixerpool. We’ve gotten to a point with our Mixerpool where we have twice as many items to distribute between #1-999 than we do between #1000 and #1999. With this being the case, it makes ‘shiny mixers’ even more unbalanced over WallaBee Mixers, based on their ratios. Over the coming weeks, we hope to give the Mixerpool some much-needed attention, to provide the community with the best mixing experience. We will also attempt to update the pool at more random times, so other timezones have a chance to empty the pool (The last pool refill only lasted a few hours, thanks to ‘shiny mixers,’ so certain timezones were negatively affected). Thank you for your patience as we help balance this part of the game.

With golden items easily obtainable, creating a surplus of Golden Mixers was way too simple. This was never our intention with allowing Midas items to create Golden Mixers, so we are pulling back a bit of how frequently Midas items are obtain. We apologize that our negligence with leaving this unchecked for this long. We have adjusted where golden items can be found to help with this attempt to help balance things. Items change where they’re found every now and then, and golden items are no exception. All Midas items can be found by opening a Safe (forged from Orange and Pink locations) or available in the WallaStore.

EDIT: The Carnival of Curiosities has been released as a series on NeonMob! Check it out!

This week marks 3 years of WallaBee’s shutdown announcement. Let’s take a moment of silence to remember the bullet we dodged.
