I hope so, I don't have them all.
It just seems odd, as they'll usually replace it (eventually) with the next and not just leave no stone there for the time being.

Staff has been late releasing the birthstones before. I remember I had to wait until the 6th of November to get mine. It’s very possible staff has been busy with the the new year, but they’ll most likely have the stone eventually.

I would love for the zodiac collectibles to happen, though!

The January birthstone is there now. No, they're not being discontinued!

 

[Snowesque]

Thank you!
I was a little worried as I usually see the previous stone in the meantime.

I have a question. If the candies lost their value because of the 2014 restock drama, why are they still being re-released every year? We cycled out the eggs and the feathers, but not the Halloween candies.

My guess is that it saves staff time to re-release collectibles and I think candy overall has a very broad appeal compared to other Halloween collectibles (like the Voodoo Doll for example). Additionally, it also is good for lineups to have more dates as a option. Other than those reasons I can think of, I bet a staff member can answer this better! lol I do think they should phase out certain ones though (like the Blue, Purple, and Orange Candy) just to retain their values and release new colors like lime green, turquoise blue, brown, etc..

I'd sell my soul for a turquoise candy ;-;

It definitely would look absolutely sick, I just think there are so many colors they can tap into to compensate for potential discontinuation of the older candies (I really think blue, orange, and purple should be retired to retain value).

Well, it seems that the staff are at least trying to make purple and orange rare beceuse those weren't released in the Shop for Halloween. You could only get them if you won the raffle for the full candy set.

I'd imagine it's also because the candies have very limited design options, compared to the eggs and feathers (and even those took a while for them to break out more unique multicolored designs)

at this point it seems like they're content with having the original 4 candy colors be more common collectibles, with the later ones being slightly more valuable

You do have a point there my friend, I guess limiting certain candy variants that way is a great way of retaining and building value of a given collectible! I think as long as they keep those 2 limited in that way, there's really no reason to retire them... lol

Makes sense to me, I do think they should do something with the blue candy at least by restricting the new stock more just to safeguard the value more since I have seen firsthand through owning a shop how devalued they have become since coming back.

I would hate to admit this, but I am glad that I didn?t win a contest or an event back in the 2014 TBT Fair. While I did want to win a green pinwheel as this was the only time I could win a contest, my birthstone collection was not complete at the time. Any collectible I purchase before or during October 2014 to July 2015 will never show up in my inventory that you can see on my profile, and the green pinwheel and trophy are worth showing in your sidebar. Since I can?t change the order of my collectibles, I am fine with not winning anything special before June 2016.

Now I was upset that I didn?t win a Moon Wand back in 2016 (as it?s worth mentioning that it will never come back), but at least I won a Tetris Grid collectible the year after. Somehow, any glow wand would work being part of my ?assorted? collectibles collection, but the only arcade collectible that would work being part of it is the Tetris Grid.

moon glow wand is still my favorite of the animated collectibles, and I'd love for it to make return so I can have a second chance of getting it

same, that fair was a bit of a mess imo.

i love the pin wheel as well considering where i got it but yeah bro.

One Glow Wand that’s still missing is the Snowflake Glow Wand. Somehow, the moon wand is not a real glow wand you can get in Animal Crossing, but the Snowflake Wand is.

It’s a high time they should release a new batch of glow wands. My ideas:

- Snowflake Wand (blue)
- Sun Wand (orange)
- Flame Wand (red)

I love the collectibles I have (especially the complete arcade set) but damn... the glam feather and disco ball egg still haunt me to this day...

The Disco Ball Easter Egg haunts most people to this day including me

 

[LambdaDelta]

speaking of eggs, I think I'll probably work on collecting the ones I don't have for that set next

though the higher priced ones will probably never happen unless I strike it rich or something

Which ones are you missing

Which ones are you missing

crosschecking between my inventory and wildtown's guide

classic easter egg
togepi easter egg
candy easter egg
dark easter egg
zen easter egg
galaxy easter egg
eevee easter egg
leaf ticket easter egg
disco ball easter egg
gold easter egg (obv)

dark, zen, galaxy, and disco ball all fall under the "probably not happening" category, while classic and togepi look to be in a sort of middling area (would mainly just want to gt a bit more tbt before gunnign for those)

plus I don't want to grab up all too fast, both in case of any rereleases this year and/or new eggs that interest me more beyond what I can purchase in the shop myself
