We should petition for it to become a thing​
Yes! I want the salt and pepper collectibles.

I think they re-stock every week

They are only restocking the cherries every week
 
I kind of think you're making a big deal out of nothing. Nothing being the chocolate cake.

Yes, it's rare, I get it. Yes, you want it, I get it.

But to put it in your signature is just pointless and demanding imo, and to make a thread about a petition for one is just childish and selfish. You should just wait until the next restock like almost everyone else did.

Hate to sound rude but it's just my opinion.
 
Not surprising given the AC community one of the most self-entitled communities out there.
 
I got the March birthstone and the pear. Someone sent me a cake because I lost Stitches... but I'm for more collectibles :)
 
This is true :p

That said. I don't like seeing people ganging up on the OP for having a different opinion. I found this on ACNL Confessions and it really stood out to me:
TBT can be a really scary place at times. I'm always afraid to say something like Animal Crossing isn't meant for selling your villagers for millions or time travelling a lot, because the majority of the people on that forum will make you feel horrible about expressing your opinion and they'll start bombarding you with messages like, 'It's their game, they bought it with their own money, they play it how they want.' Ok, yeah, I get it, but can't I have an opinion?

I kinda have to agree with this. While it's quite different in this case, it's more or less the same moral issues some forum-goers have. Not saying I dislike it, but it should be worked upon.

lol It's just pixels on a forum website hun :/ I still don't understand why people like collectibles so much. I mean, if I can get one for free or get one because I happen to be online then sure. However; I honestly rather spend my TBT bells by buying things for AC instead, but to each his own ^-^. I also noticed most of the people saying no to this already have the chocolate cake lol. So here is a no from someone who has zero collectibles. Adding more would crash the whole bell system making TBT bells worth less, which in turn would make it harder for me to get mah AC stuffs. Since I'm pretty sure the whole reason why people even value TBT bells as much as they do is because they can go and get their rare collectibles or other shop stuffs, but mostly collectibles.
 
I woke up in the middle of the night for this chocolate cake. I want to be one of the proud owners. I want it to be rare. Sure, it's your opinion, and it's perfectly fine. I just don't support this petition. It would make me feel like that I wasted my time, I could have just stayed asleep.

If people worked for it, they should get it. If you didn't get up, don't fuss at the people who did. If people hoard them, they WOKE up for it. If they didn't wake up, oh well. You had a chance just like everyone else~ they restocked twice this week.

I won't support it, because rarity is what makes collectables "collectable". I am, however, against hoarders. Collectables like chocolate cake or Japanese letters are stocked very rarely, and keeping people from having them makes little to no sense unless you're selling them. Yes, it's fun to look at your rarities, but maybe some people have been waiting a long time to get one and never did (Not saying anyone in particular here, just an example).
 
I understand that you guys want to keep things rare, but there's one big presumption going on, which is not entirely true... that the playing field was level when the mad scramble happened. It wasn't level. The people who can afford super fast internet in real life had an advantage, and people who had lots of TBT bells had an advantage. So those of us who are poor in real life or were newer to the site/don't have tons of bells to trade in for tbt bells were at a disadvantage.

I am all for more restocks. TBT bells are hard to earn whether by buying them or posting a lot. So that itself will keep the items rare.

And I am also for making sure at least one restock is limited to those people who don't have the item, just like the popper was. This would prevent hoarding.

One last thing... the posters who are against restocks seem to want to keep things rare, which basically means that for them stuff like chocolate cake is a status symbol. I guess for me, it's something pretty to decorate my posts. I really wouldn't care if everyone else had them. Why not share the prettiness?

In real life, diamonds are not rare, but are sold at inflated prices because big suppliers like DeBeers artificially keep the supply low and push the status symbol branding. But whether diamonds are status symbols or not, I still like them because they are beautiful. I wouldn't begrudge a lot of people having them just to make me feel special for having something rare. Beauty should always be shared. :)

Where's the fun in collecting if it's just going to get common and everyone's going to have the same collectables?

I think some people are missing the point of what collectible means. I agree that maybe they should make it so it's only one per person kind of thing, to sort of get rid of hoarders. However, I don't agree with making the items less rare than they are. They already restocked twice this week.
 
Im biased because I have them all but here's my two cents.

Calm down. Its pixels. Buy them from someone if you want them so bad. I see nothing wrong with hoarders. It's an economy.
 
theyre rare for a reason
i dont have the cake either and i dont rly care bc tbh its just pixels like everyone else said.
you could probably try buying it off someone but yeah dont worry about it too much
 
"okay, so put up more chocolate cake. just enough for me to snag one. then i don't care. buh buh buh buh i'm a duck"

To tell the truth, faster internet is kind of a advantage. Yes, it makes it harder, but not impossible. The more TBT bells excuse? That's not really valid. You have tons of time to stock up, plus if you are a newer member that huge amount of TBT you get cancels out what you said. Hoarders are people too. Just because they take collectible, doesn't mean they should have the collectibles taken from them. They bought them like everyone else. They just bought more of it. If there was a restock limited to the people who didn't have them, that would mean half the darn website. It wouldn't even be a collectible anymore. Share the prettiness? We'll, if you wanted pretty items, you had plenty of time to buy them. They restocked twice. Begrudging a lot of people? Those begrudged people had a chance just like everyone else did. Everybody had an equal chance to buy. Even those with slower internet could potentially get an item from greedy people with fast internet. They just have to hit the checkout first.

My two cents!

Also being a status symbol is the entire point of collectibles...
