Can someone please explain to me what they are thinking?

1. Only one table and chair released that were both released last year?
2. Every floor item other than Romantic Skate and Valentine Bear were all released last year?
3. Only two counters of which one was already in catalogue?
4. Only one crate?
5. And the most questionable - releasing an oven from ONE year ago for 25 gems. WHY????? There are so many original Valentines ovens they could release, if not all of them.

They really make this game frustrating. I hope for these sales all year long to only be disappointed. Why such a small sale? It isn't good for us as customers nor them as a business. They could be banking in the money. When sales are introduced GEMS should be on sale for everyone the entire time. Well this sale didn't require me to purchase gems, so their loss. They just don't get it - release ALL Valentines Day items for a win/win but I guess they don't want to make money. So done! There was so much I was hoping for.

I was ready to spend a bunch of money to purchase gems for all the valentines day sale items. Disappointed in the limited items for this sale!

Trying out a new infographic style; let me know what you all think I kind of prefer the IG where the items are all mashed together (sooo much empty space in this one!), but this might be easier for people to see what the different categories are.

@Anniras feel free to take this and paste it into your first post if it saves you the trouble!

I agree with Dawn even though still new to game. Big disappointment. Not much variety. Game is old and yet seem so "reserved" in what you put out on sale. Could have added so much more. Especially for newer players. I was willing to shell out $$$ for old items. I see people who played longer that have items I wish I could buy. I don't care it's old. I just wanted a chance to buy it. Sadly some of those items were not in this sale. Also why not let us buy some of the old goal ovens!? Only one oven on sale? One of those players who look forward to the holiday sales. So far best sale to me was the Back to School because of the Mighty Ovens. Have to wait a whole year just to buy it for my other bakery.

Honestly, I've always lowkey wanted the Valentine Bear. Now would be my chance to directly get it. Especially since it's a 2nd place prize. Less struggle trying to get it, and even get multiples of said bear as I can buy it straight up currently. May spend 15-30 dollars on bakery then.

was expecting a big sale. there's so much stuff they could've offered - classic valentine themed tables & chairs, decos, appliances, mystery boxes... we have at least 4 I believe mystery boxes dedicated to valentine theme! and what did we get? just a FEW random boring items.

looks like S8 just isn't really interested in making money off bakery story if they dont use opportunities like sales. the question is why?

once again - dissapointed, but not surprised.

I personally think this game will be totally done for. It'll eventually be removed from the app store, everything is getting extortionate, goal amounts are increasing, 25 gems per old released oven.. this makes me lose interest in the game altogether

I love these Echo Sales, I really do. They seem to have a little something for everyone - previously locked goal items for new or casual players, a few items from other releases that thematically match the relisted goal items, a reduced mystery box and even one or two box items for sale individually to round things out.

All in, they're respectable sales but I do not think they offer nearly enough to replace the seasonal/holiday sales we're accustomed to receiving. While the Echo Sales might offer items that could be called rare and unique to many players, they just don't offer enough items to be the only sales we get moving forward. I think these would work best as flash sales that we get in addition to the standard offerings in the larger seasonal sales.

Please s8, please give us an actual V-Day sale or at the very least add more items to the current sale before the holiday passes us by!

Hi everyone

Since the U-Decorations and Echo Appliances are a fairly new concept in Bakery Story, I've added a poll to this thread to gather feedback on the concept. Participants can choose multiple responses and submissions are anonymous. The poll will close in 5 Days.

As always, feedback that the poll can't gather is also welcomed via additional comments in this thread Thank you in advance to everyone who participates!
