No, this was the only additional wave. I wanted to make sure everyone knew how many trinkets they needed for this year (and also still prepare for the fact 2012 is retiring at the end).
I think this year there is a good balance of just unisex items in general (also more male wigs than female this time around!). Yes, there are a few more actual female items. Personally, I love how the items have been done this year, like the actual items themselves. I would never use those trains as wearables, but the item images? SUPER GREAT need all, will find a pet to shove them in. That was my favorite part of Vesnali last year, all the like great TC items, and I'm glad we're able to bring that into the other holidays as well. :D
I'm glad you caught the lounge books! I wanted something in there that would appeal to more people than just food/drinks. Drink/food menus seemed like a good idea. :)
For now, yes! We're retiring the items that fall under the 2012 tab at the end of the holiday to help some of the lag people are experiencing in the shop (because there are a lot of items in general and they all load at once)! Sometime in the future, when a programmer gets the chance to make the special shops not load all items at once (giving them their own page most likely), we'll bring back older items from various holiday shops for people to grab. :)
