I thought that is what the plan was to make rare's officially rare? by making them limited only?

They have tried to be a bit "fairer" but aren't there as of yet.

In regards to the 10pm surprise, I see where you are going with that and I do think it's a decent point that they want to surprise us with up, but going back to my issue about .sg and .au players - it's hardly a nice surprise to them. Everyone in BST and EST timezones can quite happily look in the catalogue and go ":O a LTD, What a lovely surprise -purchases" yet people in .sg and .au are going to wake up and be bloody mad that it was released at such a ridiculous time for them.

"Habbo know full well to make the more wanted rares have more items or indeed cost more such as the Dragon and the Dino. They aren't stupid and they are milking this to the best they can!" - They are stupid if they continue to release at such a frantic rate. Why do you think a fair amount of the V7 rares are worth so little? Because they released recolours of Rares like mad and people eventually got sick and tired of it. The same will happen with LTDs if Sulake keep releasing far too many.

And tbh, I wouldn't be surprised either if they released an Olympic LTD. I'd imagine they'd probably design an Olympic furniture range as well though :P

Yeah the Leviathan and the Cherry Tree both got released at times to suit them but then again, the Exec Drinks Cabinet, the Black Scifi Pod and the Theater Curtain were all available to them too if you think about it. Weren't some of the first Plasto range released at 1pm? I know three of them were which is also an ok time for them isn't it if they're 8 hours in front of us?

I don't see how they have been suited to US times in some cases due to 10am being about 5am for them and 1pm being about 8am which are both rather early too.

They are stupid for releasing many but at the end of the day aren't we stupid for buying them?

I can see them releasing the Big Ben or giving it out in a competition just because they like to go back on their word.

laptop bludy overheated ;l

The point you made about us being stupid for buying them is a rather fair point lmao and I can't rlly argue against it. It just goes beyond the point of insanity when you start purchasing about 80 ltd rares, like fierycold did.

Also, the final 3 pieces of plastic ltd were tailored for est and bst timezones Idk about other 2 :P

Wouldn't be surprised if they rereleased the sports furni as well. And Idk if they would go back on their word about big Ben, it wouldn't shock me if they did though.

I usually find that their design is really nice, but the prices are ridiculous. I understand that they are going to continue to sell them at such high prices because people are willing to pay them...but I think sometimes they could be priced at half as much as still be considered rare. :/

As far my personal experience with them, I'm in the US here and I've never been on during a release yet. P:

I thought the prices were ridiculous and the only one I liked was the tree and would've bought that if it hadn't of sold out before I had the chance but I didn't buy any and have noticed that the price of some have gone down haha

i loved the cherry blossom tree but most of them haven't interested me haha, i never have enough to buy them anyway but i do have a couple of rainbow tables that were given to me by a friend. most of the rares go down in price though so i feel it's a bit pointless buying them for 75c or so then selling them for like 50c lol.

some good releases with LTD range and still waiting until you can list them on mp...

They're releasing them too frequently. I don't bother buying any of the crap. People buy rares for their value I buy them if I like them. I think a lot of people take it all too seriously and try buy as many of a certain limited rare so they can sell them at a hire price but whatever tickles your pickle.

I think it's a farce tbh. Habbo are trying to create 'rare' furni and it's not exactly working... my perception on what a rare is, is something that shouldn't be released out of the catalog. It would be better if say 1000 people who entered a competition won the furni instead of making people pay stupid amount of credits for something that will de-value instantly. I guess it's a good money making idea when the latest LTD Rare cost 200c which from the credits page in the UK costs about £22.50.
