I meant in any way/shape/form, sorry I didn't clarify that!
I mean one of the biggest problems was the bulk of the work for drawing both a male and female set and tying up an artist for so long. On our side, it was really black friday working against them. Combined, is why they're gone now. My point was that won't change unless they do it differently-- not just a costume shop instead of a trunk which I assume would work like Boutique only with backgrounds and more fanbased and such?
If that's the case, I think just having the Boutique sets include more costumey/tribute sets since it'd be excessive to have two CS wearable based shops. Which I'm definitely not against or anything. I don't buy much from the Boutique myself (aside from the red sets, those are nice), but if they were more interesting and themed around an idea (like MCTs were) rather than a color (like most Boutique stuff is) then I'd probably buy them a lot more often! Especially if they retired on a timely manner and/or weren't included in the BF sale (or at least weren't half off).
I still would rather see (or also see) boxed sets with a wider variety of items though (like the before mentioned ones) all surrounding a theme.
PS THERE ARE STILL OLD MCTS THWT HAVEN'T BEEN TURNED INTO MULTIPLE ITEMS TOO.... I hope those haven't been forgotten/swept under the rug or anything.
