Anyone have any idea as to why the newest minions coming out in the CS (Wilikers, Terrornia and Daubby) are no longer being sold as transformable minions but each item separately? It makes me kind of disappointed that they're going this way. Is it just so that the site can gain extra money? : / That's what I'm getting the feel of. I may be wrong, but...

Yup...that last part is totally wrong XD

Not sure how it helps make Subeta more money by doing it this way. Several of the items are consumable (books, collectables, food), so if you want to use all those you'd have to buy multiples of the minion. The only thing I can see it making a difference to are the clothing items, since you can just remove the item from your wardrobe, change it into a different wearable option, and put it back. But that seems like a hassle when you could just get multiples and leave them there to use whenever you want.

I bought multiples of the transforming minions to get all the items I wanted out of them, and with the non-transforming ones I just buy the items I want. Hasn't made a difference to how much I spend on them.

Maybe it's just easier putting them in the Cash Shop as individual items, rather than adding the option to transform.

Mostly because we haven't found a way to illustrate that items are transforming after we've released them. When you see the original news post - that's great, you've got the right information.

But if you joined after that, went into the CS (or wherever) and only saw a minion, you'd think that was it and you wouldn't bother to look it up. It's just much easier for us to release all of the items separately.

Personally I like this better because having multiples of an item in my inventory that all need to be opened/transformed/etc. is kind of a pain. Being able to buy them already-transformed (even if some wearables tend to be more expensive than other pieces) is so much easier.

People complained about transformable items being a way for the site to "gain extra money" actually. I don't really understand what the problem with the current distribution method is either tbh.

Why not make the 'transform item' in bold letters or something. Im really peeved about this. I know some people dont care, and usually I dont mind changes. But my only way to afford those items was because I could spend 250 once and have every wear. I have a huge pile of transforming items for that reason. Its much more expensive for users to have to buy each one, plus its annoying how the items arent all priced the same.

I just dont see this as a fix. And It makes me unable to buy them all, plus makes me not as interested. From what Ive heard many of my friends are bugged about this also. Especially how the wears cost more.

And Im super bummed the newest minion doesnt have wears. Its so pretty and if it was transformable it would allow us to have an awesome feather headpiece and such.

^this The transformable minions are all priced at 250CSC. I suppose it's nicer that all the consumable items are now priced lower, but it seems that the wearables were priced higher to make up the difference (atleast in the case of Wilikers).

I'm not sure if you saw the news when Whilkers came out but mentioned the point of the prices were going to monitors and changed as needed.

See how the highest price goes down

[Item=gee Wilikers hair oil] - 400 csc [Item=Terrorble Tuft] - 300 csc [Item=detached daubby abdomen] - 200 csc

I personally love the new change, mainly because it sucked having to drop 250 csc for every sticker thst came up, but I can see the downside for wardrobe people.
