    Default Rares to collectables?

    What happened to the great 1-furni with many colours idea (fans, smokes, screens, ect)?

    I thought those items were great, and the prices were constantly changing and looked great.

    Now we've got these collectable things, like the Kraken, which in my opinion don't look very good at all - I have no interest in buying them.

    They dont have a very flexible price since they are very certain room-specific items. (e.g. A Big Ben wouldn't go well in a salon, whereas with the old type of rares you could always find the right colour to fit in).

    Anyone know the idea behind the switch?

    I don't like it - is it just me?

    Well, the main part of Collectibles is that they are only being sold once, other rare's returned. Also, which is major is that these Collectibles don't have recolours.

    I think most of the Habbo users don't like recolours and want to see new furni.. These collectibles are always new and will never be sold again.
    Need any help? PM me!

    Due to pressure from the public Sulake changed the scheme and replaced Rares with Collectables. Recolours were becoming very unpopular and people were constantly moaning for something new. The tide, however, has now turned. I did a poll not long ago asking what people preferred, Rares or Collectables. An overwhelming majority stated they preferred Rares.

    Collectables are doing alright, but they are nothing special and look similar to some cheaper seasonal furniture. It seems afterall, people really did like recolours.

    Yeah. I guess people don't realize how good something really is - until it is gone.

    I've always liked the recolours, and I am surprised how much I miss opening the catalogue and seeing a great new colour fan or pillow (ect) to buy.

    I don't like the collectables at all... I hope we get some more recolour type furni -
    There's some great things they could use as new items to recolour.

    After seeing what the next (totem thing) collectable looks like, it makes me wonder what the response will be to it - I'd love to see the amount of recolours people bought compared to the collectables bought.

    Why change what isnt broke?

    Collectables unlike rares have a very low price for some reason. Recolours were better than collectables.

    Totally agree. I take no interest what so ever in collectibles however when there were rares, I used to buy every single one and bought 35 credits every time there was a new rare which costs 25 credits. Now I dont even look at them. Im that un-interested.

    I totally agree collectables are just furni that do nothing to impact your rooms, Rares were just amazinig furni which could be used for anything
