Edit: This listing has now ended, with all 15 beanies sold. Congratulations to all who bought one!
Do you ever wish that you owned one of those cute Norn beanies that came free with Creatures 2?
Well, here's a unique opportunity to get your paws on one!
It has been brought to our attention that someone is selling over 10 of these official purple Norn beanies at this eBay listing.
Note: The seller, cmosfm, is a top-rated seller, with a near-100% feedback score and he offers international shipping - so you can buy with confidence. I've snaffled one for myself.
If you want one, you'd better hurry, these little fellas have a habit of scurrying off fast!
Please do let me know if you buy one!
...
I do wonder... How many does this guy have? The poor man must be overrun; all those Norns running around, his house must be in chaos. |

May be he just got 2 and they reproduced over the years? XD
it's too bad they are all purple, but at least now everyone can get one!

Do we really know that they're all purple?

Spykkie said she contacted the seller and he said he only has the purple ones. It'd be great to have a brown one and a green one eventually though! |

Purple is my favourite colour, so it's all good! |

Purple was a pretty common colour and they turn up at flea markets in the US from time to time, but yes - that seller only found a few purple ones and are selling the batch they came across.
If I had any cash I would have been tempted, but I'm trying to resist.
This fellow also needs a home:

I think you should buy one AquaShee, just so I can see a photo of those Mernorn pants. |

Those look great! I might be able to get my mum and dad to get me one for my birthday on the 14th! |

Looks like 5 more have been sold so far, with only 10 left. I wish I knew some Creatures fans IRL, these Norns would make great Christmas stocking fillers. |

I can't wait till my little Norn arrives! Does anyone have any idea of what I could call him? |

Maybe picking a random name from Helen's Bibble Directory may help?
These names are for the Norns in the games, but I'll guess the Norndolls are the same species.

Congratulations of your new arrival, C-Rex! 8) I'm sure once your Norn arrives a name will pop right into your head. I know DragonGirl and SpaceShipRat (from CTopia) have each bought one too. |

Thanks Laura! I wonder how long he will take to be delivered.
Edit: He has already been dispatched! I hope he makes it in time for my birthday though! |

I'm sorely tempted to buy one of these, even though I still have my own norn doll. I'd much prefer a green one, but it's so rare to stumble upon a deal like this....
...
Oh, whoops, guess the decision's been made for me. The deal's ended. Looks like all 15 were sold. Congrats to everyone who got one!
You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there.

Wow, I wonder who bought 9? I knew those Norns would scurry off to new homes fast. I hope everybody's arrives soon! *Crosses fingers that hers does today*
Remember, there's still this beanie who needs a new home. The auction ends in 20 hours, and nobody's bid yet. |

All you can tell about the eBay user i***h is that they buy a lot of 'other toys', 'sex toys' and 'sex accessories'...

So a mixed bag then. They've also placed a bid on the other beanie, so if anyone here wants it they better get in quick! |

Congrats to whoever won the last norndoll! It wasn't that i**h guy either... hopefully he's going to a good, clean, small-norn-friendly home.

Oh, I hope Razgriz got that last Norn!! *Knows that Razgriz was really keen to buy it* |

OMG! If you really want a laugh, the guy that bought the bulk load of Norns from eBay (and all those sex toys) is now selling a pack of 25 Norns for $2,000.
Does he think the creatures community is full of millionaires, and not 'mostly' oldbies and youngsters
A Norn is worth around $10 at most, and that would just be for people who want them and would pay more than a plush toy was worth.
We could actually commission a company to make 500 Norns for minimum $2000. I have actually got quotes for that before now, and will see about doing it if I get hold of those kind of funds later.
- Then we can have a whole new generation of Norns!

$2000? Is he having a joke? That's even more expensive than a computer! |

He claims they are rare and its supply and demand.. as if any of us *need* a Norn that much
If I could get permission to get a new batch of Norns commissioned, what three colours would people want?
I was thinking a burgundy red, blue and pink would be a good combo?

Personally I think brown, green and purple would be good colours.
Brown is a classic norn colour, purple pays homage to the original beanie norns and green is awesome.
It also corresponds with iconic norns for the series: C1 norns are mostly brown, C2 has the lovely Emerald norns and DS has purple Chichi norns.

Why only three colors?
Green and brown would be nice, since they're the rarest of the official colors, as long as there's some way to easily tell them apart from the official norndolls so people don't get confused.
As long as one of the colors is kind of a medium dodger blue-ish, I'd be happy.

Otherwise that means buying a second batch of 500 to get more colours, which won't be possible financially.

I really like the idea of burgundy norns, perhaps a second more naturalistic colour like beige/green, and the third being some rather whacky, pink or blue like you suggest

My Norn arrived too Laura! I've decided to call him Vimto, after the purple drink!
By the way, did yours come in a parcel with "Do Not Crush" written on it? I think it's pretty hilarious they put that the box. Maybe they thought it was a live animal lol.
Here's a pic of me and Vimto. Can you tell who is who?

Welcome, Martin and Vimto!
I thought it was pretty nice--it wouldn't have been too fun to get it and find out the box had been totally squished during shipping.

Congrats on your Norn, C-Rex. Yeah, my parcel had "Do Not Crush" on it too. I didn't bother keeping the box though; I won't be selling my mine on. Right now, Martin's laying on his belly, ontop of my CDs, guarding my Bruce Springsteen collection.
I hope you hear the pitter-patter of tiny paws soon, Lucy. Silly snow. |
