Retiring Christmas items on March 9th 2015

[matty998]

I just logged into my game and many of the Christmas and winter items are showing 5 days left, also they brought back the old chestnut roaster and holiday drink machine for a few days.

Guess now I'll have to go check out the recipes on the chestnut roaster & candy cane oven to see if it's worth it to even mess with them. And especially during goals when I need slots for goal ovens...lol

Game Guide only lists
Chestnut Roaster requires 5-fuses, 5-nozzles, 10-motors, 10-springs
* 1-4hr. Recipe for chestnuts

Holiday drink Machine requires 5-nozzles, 5-motors, 10-paint, 10-screws
1-6hr & 1-12 hr. Recipe

Sorry, it's not a candy cane oven but a candy cane counter.

So only appliance I haven't done is the chestnut one, and for 1 recipe requiring all those parts---just not worth it.

Fantastic compilation of data as usual, vanacatu! I think it's more than worth their cost in coins and parts to acquire these two, if only for the opportunity to add more 4-coin recipes to our roster. Appliances from this goal and the last, as well as the kiddie kitchen, seem to focus on 2-coin dishes. I realize these dishes have greatly-reduced recipe costs, which might make them very appealing to new players with limited coins, but they're a terrible deal overall, with a profit of less than 2 coins per serving. Players who recently put out lots of low-earning food are suddenly seeing their daily income take a huge hit. I can't help but wonder if this is a tactic to entice us to play more, cook more, work harder, in a struggle to sustain what had become "normal" earnings.

I've never seen some of these items before and I've been playing 2.5 years. Got a single gingerbread tile and one moose tile in case I want to use them later and the holiday jukebox for coins.

I've been under the impression that, once the items were retired, you only had access to the quantity you bought. Is that not true for tiles? What about wallpaper? If that's the case, I'll take one of each as well! (I bought the holiday jukebox, too...pretty adorable!)
