I love
Jepetto Joybuzz. He doesn't sell anything terribly useful, just silly ol' toys that you can goof around with. Dolls to place in creepy locations, trains to piss off your raid, paper airplanes, that whole deal. I
love when he gets new toys on the PTR, so his latest additions made my heart soar. His new offerings are:
Are you noticing a trend? None of these toys are 100% new, they're azure (because I said blue too many times) recolors of previous toys. Toys that are inaccessible now. The green ragdoll is still around, but the Rocket Bot and the Racer Controller are both re-released toys that were only available during Winters Veil in 2007 and 2008. Players that acquired them the year they were released get to keep their Feats of Strength, but now everyone can join in on the fun and play with them. It's probably strange that I'm so excited about these, but come
on. They're toys! Toys within a bigger toy, even!

Will the rocket bot be an actual non-combat pet?
Oooooohhhh....

I still wish he'd sell the Red and Blue fuel from the Mtn Dew event last summer.
Pam Feb 23rd 2010 8:40PM
AMEN~! I still have some left over of each color, but I am running out of bag space and I REALLY would like him to just sell us the fuel.

At least you got to keep your pet... those of us crafty enough to get them on the EU servers had them ripped from our grasp.
Still got screenshots :/

NEW TOYS!! *Lumbers over*
Volaro Feb 23rd 2010 8:07PM
For me?! Oooh, I promise I won't break them this time!
Ves Feb 23rd 2010 8:08PM
NONONONONO!
How will I maintain my E-Peen when every scrub who can log on has a Clockwork Rocket Bot? Way to totally devalue our gear, Blizz.

Sarah Bee Feb 23rd 2010 8:08PM
Noes. Mah Clockwork Rocket Bot is now less unique, QQ. ;_;
Tom Feb 23rd 2010 9:05PM
Far from useless, yours will be RED! Non of these common blue ones!
Still have my old rocket bot from ages past. At least now it will have something to fight against. Those Blues don't stand a chance!
Hollow Leviathan Feb 23rd 2010 8:07PM
Finally more rocket bots with which to do battle!

Did you know you can keep throwing a single paper zeppelin between multiple people, without ever 'catching it'. Simply avoid catching the zeppelin and it will appear in your inventory after a short time, ready to be thrown again. You can summon hundreds of zeppelins on your screen. All you need is a friend, a paper zeppelin and some patience.
Drive Dalaran crazy!
(Blizzard, if you read this, please don't take this silly little bug out of the game, it would make me a sad panda...)

They can't fix it as it's entirely client side. The server thinks you caught it, hence it appearing in your bags. This is also why you and your friend can see a million of them, but someone who drops by later can't.

One night, I was doing something on my bank alt in Ironforge when someone randomly threw me a paper zeppelin. I figured out who it was and threw it back at them. Soon, we were running all over the bank/auction house area throwing them back and forth at each other while not letting the zeppelins catch up with us to the point where each of us had dozens and dozens of them us around. It was hilarious. I even took a few screen shots (I wish I had been able to record it.) I was starting to get tells by the end asking why I had a small fleet of zeppelins chasing me down.

How about he sells a toy that protects my Toy Train Set from the Wind-Up Train Wrecker?
