I guess it makes sense, since they are brand new URs. But I was really hoping I could get away with trading a bunch of Septembers and a mountain of lower rares for the UR lion. When I saw what it was going for, I decided that maybe I would trade my Green Sorbet for it. Now, it looks like even that isn't enough, and I may have to give up my second Nontag (which I'm very attached to even though it's my second one). And even that may end up not being enough.

I was counting on my luck with the 18th to re-stock on higher Rares List pets, but my luck failed me and now I'm digging in to my personal collection to try and get that pretty little lion cub. ;-;



But the demand is well deserved though. They are a lot rarer then the other UR's, because of the lack of adopts this year ^^;
But I know what you mean, finding the UR's were really hard e.e;

I am also quite irritated people taking advantage of our fodder, just because we have two doesn't mean we are letting them go for less then half the price.

They were very hard to get, and I paid dearly for them. >< I'm glad I got them both, but this re-release was a lot harder than most. I know how you feel Wit/Fringe xD. People are asking for my extra lion and offering like 1/20th of what I paid. e-e

Its kinda hard for newish members to get hem. I mean I have hardly any good fodder. 2 08 rare 1 08 uncommon nd a few rares, hardly enough for me to get one. And the box was unkind to me D:

It was hard on everyone. ^^; I've been saving up for a LONG time for this re-release though... so I was well equipped. But now I'm just getting bad trades. xD Cancelled 12 already this morning and I've been awake an hour.

Yes, we have been waiting all year as well, both were incredibly hard to get and we sent A LOT of trades and by a lot we mean 3 - 400 trades. Many Cancels ^^;

Flippin' wow! Same here. I offered a Joker and CE Galaxy and a bunch of other very rares and that's not enough. The price I end up paying to complete my collection once again is going to kill me. Maybe that's the idea this year. The staff wants to get some of the older richer users to give up their valuable extras to the newbies for the sake of their completed collections rather than just re release enough very rares to go around this year. Sort of get back at all the very rare hoarders. D: This damn Lion is going to kill me.

Its not just the UR pets, I think its EVERY pet thats either a UR or come from 08 july / august that's being over paid for. I offered 20 VR's + R's on a SORBET NEWBORN and it wasn't enough. Whats up with that?

They made a mistake with the calculations and the 'Get back at the VRH's is kind of offensive, we pay darn well for our pets, there is more then what we hoard, sorry but, I really don't think the staff is 'getting back' at them. :/

Anyway, we had more difficulty finding a cucumber then our lion ^^;

This trade... Not a COPPA user. Been around long enough. Didn't leave a message. Ready to accept.
Store horse: Costs C$ which costs money, will probably be rare/very rare
That dog: Released for free, will probably be uncommon-common.
I'm not complaining about groups being locked because that pet is for trade. It's just for good trades.

Was not being offensive at all. Look at my extras. There's lots of real very rares in there I won't part with. May not all be one kind but there's plenty of them. And, yeah, I do truly wonder whether they're trying to make us cough up out very rare extras. I highly doubt there was a mistake with the calculations unless there was a news post I missed somewhere. They know exactly what they're doing for whatever reasons. :|

I have to agree. They saw the number of users adopting on previouse days. Taking that into account (And adding a few thoudand because the 18th is well known) They should have had a pretty good rounded number to work with. I dont see how it could have been off by almost double the amount.
