Okay I've added the first new era limited store set tag from March 2021 (the scarves and sweaters).
Before I continue how are we feeling about the naming convention? I went with "[space]C$ - [Year][Name of set]". The space so they are sorted at the top. I was considering adding "Limited Store" but it felt kind of wordy, is "C$" enough of a indicator here? Let me know ^^

Personally I think it would be great to have an acknowledgment of the fact that they were limited release as it would be great to eventually also have current store items listed as C$ items. I can see how it may become wordy though so maybe the year is enough of an indication? Or maybe it could read "[space]C$ - limited [Year][Name of set]"?

I think this looks really great so far! I'm not sure if people who don't have these specific items can see what it looks like so I am providing an image in case others wanted to see in order to give feedback!

I think 'C$' is a much better tag then 'Limited Store' but I can see how that might get confusing with limited vs non limited items bought with c$. I also agree with the post above about individual items also having an indicator that they were limited/store only, but I'm not sure how that could be best implemented. But regardless, I really appreciate you taking the time to do this for us Simon!

I think C$ is enough of an indicator! though I'm wondering if it will get too cluttered, perhaps a category for store items instead? there are a lot of sets and it might make the page pretty big, but I'm unsure how difficult that is to create - it'd go:
"species - sets - store sets - dress by body area"

Okay after sitting on it a lot and talking to Nick, I think I landed on the best solution. We've now added a new main category called "Limited Store Items" with sub tabs for each year of release. While it was a good idea to have a set name for each set, I don't think it would have been sustainable long term bc it will just keep growing and end up very cluttered. This should help people find their limited store items more easily but be a lot cleaner. Hopefully it's a good compromise!
We're also working on some additional item sorting/display updates soonish so stay tuned ^^

WOAH it looks great! Would it be alright to suggest sections for 2009 (Tree items and Santa set), 2010 (scarves), and 2012 (holly fairy set, reindeer, and snowman) since those were also limited store items as well?
These should all be added now ^^
Special thanks to Jacob for helping me ID the correct items.
edit: added 2009 cat pony costume set, 2010 monster eyes set, and 2018 friendship bracelet set
