If you check out the RS Sale Thread, I've made a note in the info post regarding the issue. Long story short, I notified a Mod that the 2016 goal items were showing as on sale but Locked. The Mod flagged the issue with the team but as it's a long weekend in the states, it may not be dealt with until Tuesday at the earliest.
Disappointing yet again, though I am no longer surprised by it. Only thing I bought was the Rose Columns + 1 purchase into the Candy Jar. But even then I could've probably bought that like last year.
I bought into the Candy Jar once, as that is all I had gems for, and got (1) Candy Flowers.
I placed it in my blue floral area,
Which in the upcoming months (not this one) I hope it'll be offered again so I can try my luck and hopefully get a 2nd Candy Flowers and place it next/across to my first one. Right now I'm spending my money elsewhere into a different S8 game, and prefer the items over there more than the items here currently.
Anyway, everything else was pretty lacklustre to me. I hope the one in spring (the sale, if we happen to get one) will include nice items and maybe, hopefully will be a better sale than the valentine's one.
