Removal of Solid Gold Coffee Bean Collection + Prize (Leaving 2/3/15)

[FrozenTurtle]

Hey everyone, thank you all for your wonderful feedback and continued support! We're planning to remove the Solid Gold Coffee Bean Collection and the Golden Bean Statue from the game. Be sure to complete your collection or pick it up in the market before February 3rd (PST). At that time, the Golden Bean Statue will be removed from the market, the Solid Gold Coffee Bean Collection will be removed from your Collections Menu, and the Collectible items will no longer drop from the purchased items listed below:

Open Mic


Espresso Bar


Pastry Case


Bean Bag


Be sure to redeem your collection as soon as you can! You will still be able to purchase the individual items listed above. Please continue to share your feedback about this collection here. If you have any questions, let us know. Good luck!

Can you still buy all these items after Feb3 though? I want to buy all this nice stuff to make a coffee shop section, but waiting until after all the vday updates to make sure I can buy as many of what those updates offer as possible before I buy non-seasonal items.

You will still be able to purchase the 4 individual decorations. I updated the original post. Thanks!

I absolutely love the idea of timed limited edition decor collections. Hope that this is something that's continued.

My only suggestion is that the prize cannot be purchased - meaning that the only way to get it is to complete the collection.

I think if they are going to do that, it needs to be some other way of acquiring it besides buying gem items. Either it needs to be all/some coin items or it needs to just drop like everything else would, when cooking, tipping, etc. If it's going to be just buy all gem items and MAYBE get this item, it may as well just be the first prize in a box.

Well I'd rather purchase it for 1 mil coins than spend a lot of gems trying to complete the collection. Or if they're not gonna make the prize purchasable, at least make the individual items involved for coins instead.

Ditto this.

@FrozenTurtle (or any other moderator/staff member who happens to be reading): will the prices for the remaining four items stay the same, or can we expect them to change when the Golden Bean is removed?

Thanks. I guess if I want to buy the statue decor I'll have to hurry up then! Then I can buy the rest of the collection later.

I think the whole thing was a scam. Filling a bakery with gem items hoping to get a prize? No thanks. As the poster above stated... having these items drop from tipping would be great, it would encourage community giving players more incentive to go check out new bakeries.
