People keep bringing this up and I don't understand why. The December 18th re release doesn't kill people's incentives to get a certain pet just because there are more of it. I would jump to the chance for some of the store pets because I want the pet. I don't care if it's "valuable" or not.
What I was thinking was something similar to the number system listed on the front page. Basically there would be a rare chance (as rare as it needs to be) to get a specific ticket from the December 18th box (just to use it as an example). This ticket could be taken to a special page in the store to be exchanged (along with the C$ amount) for the pet the ticket coincides with. If a person doesn't want to get the C$ for the pet, then they can trade the ticket. The problem with this is that there would be new rare items floating around.
I also think the original prices of the pets would be kept intact. The main argument I see against this is that they're more valuable now than they were and it would only be fair to charge a higher amount of C$. The price of C$ hasn't changed though or at least I don't think it has. I'm trying to think of a way to word this so I'll try my best.
I don't think it's fair to compare monthly release pets to Store pets, but it's okay to compare them to their own situations. The monthly pets can be re released for free because they were originally free. One person may buy C$ to pay for a list pet they want. They may spend a lot of time working to get it only to see someone get one with a few button clicks on December 18th. This does not undermine the value of the work the first person put into getting the pet. A person can put in a lot of work and real money for any pet on the site.
I only have a few store list pets but I would not be upset if there is a chance for someone to get them again. I don't know if any of this makes sense; I just got off of work and tried reading up before I posted.

For the above post. I have seen people looking for the rainbow smoothie and the chicken-o items.
