Where's the accordion?

Hi, everyone.

I am curious to know how the mystery gift operation works. I've been waiting for the accordion to come back to try for for the hundredth time, or so it seems. It was the tractor car, then a low expansion item, then something big, then a low expansion item, now it's back to tractor.

My mailbox is overflowing! Now I have to wait over 7 hours for the next time, NOT including the wait time.

Thanks for letting me vent. I'm better now, just gonna have to wait longer. Hope the accordion is not obsolete.

Of course it's not obsolete, HD doesn't 'do' obsolete - I'm sure it'll go in the shop when they put new rewards in the catalogue, but given how long it was before we got these I imagine it's going be a very long time before that happens.

Like much of the rest of the game it just requires patience & persistence.

I haven't seen the accordian in my gift catalog in a long time. I'm still trying for that and the guitar. So far, no luck. I've got lots of leafy ferns and assorted topiaries though! :rolleyes:

I've only ever seen the accordion a couple of times in my gift catalog. It would be fun. I still only have the cello even through I've been choosing the 30-card "harp" package forever. It is my understanding that if your mailbox is "overflowing" with thank you notes on the ground (40 notes in the box) you will not be able to collect any more gift cards until you spend it down below 40. Those extra cards on the ground are not going to be added to your total, so you might as well send in an order from the catalog for something. I did get 15 diamonds instead of my harp a couple of days ago. Not too bad! Good luck with the accordion.

I just got it yesterday. I'm flubbergasted! Just the saxophone and harp to go (i got 15 diamonds few days ago instead of harp).
But YES! It still is there to get!! So keep trying. :)

I recently won an accordion when choosing the 25 vouchers mystery gift option :)

I had the accordion yesterday, spent my gift cards and got a hydrangea.

LUCKY YOU!!!!

"My" catalog showed tractor, shovel, ax, then back to tractor. Now my gift card is at 42/40 and now an overflow of letters at my mailbox. I have to wait for more than 6 days, to c if the next one has the accordion I can try for yet again.

I needed to use some up, I got a tree, I was happy :)

Your gift card tally reads 42? Hmmmm.... I may be missing something in my understanding of the gift card department. Can anyone help me? I seem to be catalog-challenged.

If you have gift cards falling on the ground because you have 40 in the mailbox, do those "extra" cards become accessible if you spend down your supply?

...and in the hunt for instruments...is it possible to get something "good" like the accordion as a prize even though another prize is the featured one on the mystery deco package?

Thanks! I have such low expectations of the gift packages that I've never been very scientific in my study of them.
