Today’s mini release brings us a bunch of fun Halloween Minis, a bunch of new pets and pet-related items, as well as a St. George’s Cross t-shirt for the English!
If you were to buy all of the items, they’d set you back 291,160 tokens and 382 gems (gasp).
In addition, some of the pets in the Pet section are FREE! They’re creatures from the video game Littlest Pet Shop
Get ready, the Halloween items for this year will be out on Thursday! We gave you a few details of what’s coming up in this recent post, but there is a HUGE Halloween release planned and we kept a few of the treats (or tricks?) a secret so you’ll all have something to look forward to. :)
If you check out the What’s New section of the Mini Mall, you may notice a few Thanksgiving items from years past! It’s probably a pretty sad attempt at appeasing the Canadian Pogo players (whose Thanksgiving is this weekend), but you may want to grab them anyway. There’s one goodie (Winston, the Esteemed Turkey) and four backgrounds: Dinner with Relatives, Now THAT was a Thanksgiving Feast!, Pogo Thanksgiving!, and Turkey Diners.
In this screenshot, you can see the items and their prices (but not the “Try” or “Get” links because, well, the Badge Fairy owns them all already):
Thanks Pogo!
Get ready to indulge at the Mini Mall: the Halloween minis are coming soon. This year there are new costumes for guys and girls, new mini items, and great new backgrounds; and a few favorites from past years are coming back too.
This year you can dress up in Masquerade Costumes, a Cocoon, a Ghost Groom or Bride costume, Scarecrow Costumes, and Sumo Wrestler outfits. There’s also a new broom, Pogo carved pumpkin, and a string of lights for above your mini’s head. The new backgrounds are also fantastic, but we won’t give away all of this year’s spooky surprises!
There will also be, for you die-hard pet lovers, a few mini items for your pets that will help them celebrate the season as well.
Look for the new items as well as returning favorites soon, in October!
This week, Club Pogo UK turns one year old; and to celebrate, Pogo has released a whole set of UK-related mini clothes, backgrounds, and goodies for you to wear for the party! There are items for Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the UK. There are also some great backgrounds, costumes and crests for each. In addition, Pogo also snuck in a Ms. Moneybags outfit (to complement the male one from the last release) and a Dog Show animated background for your pets!
Pogo UK has a bunch of mini-games to play to celebrate, and all Club Pogo members have been awarded the “UK 1 Year Anniversary Badge” (seen here). If you play all of the mini games you can earn 10,000 tokens and get a free wallpaper!
Diner Dash Family Style is a downloadable, deluxe-style game that Pogo is developing now. As with the deluxe-style games (Operation Mania, Word Riot Deluxe, Tri-Peaks Solitaire: Quest for the Ruby Ring, Mahjong Garden Deluxe, The Poppit! Show, and Lottso! Deluxe), this game will have a limited-time free trial available. Club Pogo members will be able to earn a badge just for trying out the game, and then five other badges as you rank up.
There will also be items for your minis! There will be five backgrounds (different scenes for each restaurant), five goodies (different counters and trays you’d find in each restaurant), and five full costumes.
As far as gameplay goes, the Diner Dash franchise is a series of time management games. They all feature Flo, who is a zippy waitress trying to reach her daily goal. If you haven’t played any of them, you might be interested in one of the following free trials:
For an all-around sneak peek, check out the Diner Dash: Seasonal Snack Pack. It contains the first five “episodes” of the Diner Dash series plus new levels and restaurants to try out.
There are many new mini items available in the Mini Mall today that are sure to please even the pickiest customers!
Monopoly mini items include falling Monopoly money, goodies — ‘movers’ (or Monopoly player pieces) — , backgrounds, and exclusively for the guys a Mr. Monopoly outfit.
There are also pet items — many different breeds of dogs, cats, and exotic pets (including a potbelly pig and koi pond). It looks like Pogo is really taking everyone’s suggestions and requests to heart! Also, don’t miss the left- or right-side goodies for dogs, cats, and even rabbits!
Hey Club Pogo members, check this out! We don’t know how this slipped past us — perhaps it was a little too much summer vacation and not enough super-sleuthing on our part — but soon you’ll be able to earn exclusive Mini items from Monopoly!
Perceptive Pogo fans will recognize a few of these mini items — the second and fourth examples — from other games (the images are probably just a placeholder for now or just showing the other great things we can earn), but rest assured Pogo is working hard to create all kinds of new backgrounds, outfits, and goodies for us. In addition to the ones on the above-linked page, we’ve seen a bunch of ‘movers’: animated car, kangaroo, and tuk-tuk (which is totally hilarious); and non-animated elephant, mountie, penguin, and sumo wrestler.
It looks as if some of the in-game “earnable” movers will be featured as a “Mystery Mover Mystery” (yeah, we’re pretty sure this mini-site is still in development) in the Community News. They’ll be posting stories which will contain a clue which may reveal how to unlock special Club Pogo-only movers in the game.
Older mini items are back, and the best part of all is that they’re here to stay! With no expiration dates, there are tons of outfits and a hairstyle for the ladies, and a bunch of goodies and backgrounds — all from previous mini releases that had expired a while ago.
There are also three “new pets” (not new items, but old goodies new in the “Pets” section — thanks Ashley!!): Bunny Buddy, Duck Duck Ducklings, and Who’s that Meerkat?. They’re all animated and cost 16 gems a piece.
Today’s Mini Mall release is all about the Alien Invasion! There’s a full-body outfit called Suit for Space, plus three great Goodies: Another Bad Day for Winston (animated), Enk2 from Nkthu, and Z.Z. Zapper. The rest of the items are backgrounds: Alien Drivers! Sheesh!, Ancient Spacecraft Ruins, It Came from the Sea (animated), New Friends, Shrunk! (our favorite, animated), Teleporter Z-278 (animated), and When Aliens Attack! (which inspired the title of our post, of course).
If you want each and every one of these items, be prepared to spend 70,800 tokens and 68 gems.
