Phil: I have extras of the 1-up mushroom and triple shells. Did you still need the Mario block flooring? I'll trade for Midna's Mask, or even just a chance to catalog some of your furniture (you have the modern wood furniture?) If Insanolord wants the Bill Blaster, maybe I'll let him trade his 1up shroom for it and I'll trade the triple shells.
Pokepal, did you still need a fire flower, exotic wall shelf, or exotic carpet?
in the US/EU they are being released through spotpass

Thanks for the link. Before I read that, I drove around with my 3DS all day and was sad I didn't get a single hit. Now I see I just need to be patient.
Ras: To clarify a bit just in case, you do get homes in the HHS through both street passes and spot passes. I've had about 10 or so street passes and 4 spot passes (Reggie, Krys, Rich, and DY). It's been a really handy way to get furniture.
Oh and you asked on the previous page about visiting between towns - you may have figured it out already by now, but you have to open your gate at the train station to let people in (faraway: online; nearby: local). That is the only time people can come into your town (there is the Dream Suite, but that's something else…). If you want to go to someone else's town, tell the monkey you want to go visit another town, and hope that someone has their gates open. If you register someone as a best friend (you do this when in someone else's town, or when they are in your town) you can then see when they are online, and a notification ("I am online") will go out when they log in. You can also message them while they are in their own town, which can be pretty handy.
I haven't been playing online much lately. Too focused on making those bells! I also have a lot of junk sitting on the ground and don't want people to steal it!
Oh yeah, I have the Best Buy exclusive
racoon clock, and will soon get the
cat tower if anyone wants to catalog them. They are order-able through T&T.
