The Pink Seal has a 22 hour timer and is super adorable!
Getting old event prizes as tent options seems like a nice middle ground - we get new tent items and the team doesn't have to spend extra hours creating a bunch of new items every month. Not to mention that it's a great set up for new and older players alike. Those that missed the prizes the first time around have a chance at them without having to purchase them for gems and those that won the originals can pick up duplicates of their favorite items which were previously capped at 1.
I can only hope this is something we'll see more of and that they'll include older events as well. I know that there are a few items I missed out on over the years that I would jump at the chance to win this way. Here's hoping
