My compliments to and any other staffers who were running the free shop this past week.

Other than those first couple hiccups with it getting backed up in the middle of the night, it felt like things went pretty smoothly.
I only noticed it running out of items a few times (and I am online a lot!) and it was quickly restocked when it did. And there seemed to be a widespread variety of items included, more so than other years. Personally I did not see a lot of repetitious items and from what I have seen others posting they felt the same way. Perhaps more telling is the fact that there seemed to be far less grumbling than most times the free shop has been open!

I feel like I got a really great mix of higher priced items along with the common items. And it doesn't look like the site is flooded with hundreds of the same few rare items so what did go out should hold its value really well. Personally I know one user who got a Sebastian Phoenix costume, which is awesome! I also saw someone post that they grabbed a 5 month GA. I would love to know if that is true!

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for such a nice week of restocking my vault with goodies! I am often quick to grumble and slow to praise (just ask my kids) and I didn't want it to be that way this time.

Even the 'junk' was appreciated. I found many, many Collection Items that weren't being sold.

Also got which, yay.

I've already stated in th enew post, but I will happily state again

I was so lucky and happy this year (or I feel I am) as Georgie already stated I had the feeling that I did not get a lot of "normal" items (but I actually am happy and grateful sinde hey they are free)

some items that I got hrlwped me recover from my excessise lumi spending, some went into TCs, some were read to my "reading pet" some even went into my gallery for next lumi...

So yes, I am happy Thank you so much subeta team (and )

I feel like this was the best year ever. Even the ‘little/cheap’ things (mainly plushies) were items that I needed. But I was really happy that I got quite a few subetique items and even one or two costume trunk items. Oh! And the Books! There was some really nice books I got!

Thanks Subeta!

Thankful to have had the free shop open. Got a lot of great goodies! Thank you staff!

I was able to get some great items - both some wearables I really liked, plus some other items I can sell in the future! Thank you staff, for working to make sure that it was up and running.

The glitches and problems with the Free Shop were disappointing, and I wish they didn't happen, but I'm glad they were fixed fairly quickly.

This was probably the best free shop year for me--I got a ton of really neat items, many I'm selling but many I'm keeping as well. Thank you!

Yes thank you!

Only one tiny complaint was not getting any current year melody items - don't know if this was just my bad luck or they weren't added. There were several multi-use items I was hoping to see. LOL but it really is a tiny complaint because I got lots of way better stuff :D.

I think this was a wonderful time to have had the Free Shop open! I got lots of items that I haven't seen in years, as well as some really expensive goodies that surprised me. Site had a few hiccups, but resolved itself quickly. This was probably the best Free Shop ever! Like someone above said, even the "cheap" little items here and there were actually no big deal. It was a right mixture of "omg that's expensive af" and "cute little item, cheap, but haven't seen it in ages".

Also, books. I got lots of books, which I will never complain about, having 6 pets to read to.

Absolutely the best Free Shop experience this time!! Got lots of new items for my wardrobe and my pets. Thank you for opening it and working out all the little bugs so quickly!

I have to agree. This year's free shop was better than years past. It had just the right amount of everything.

I received many collection items - some I kept, most I'm trying to sell. I also received many normal items which either I used, like books and plushies, or put in my shop to sell.

I'm just happy we didn't have many issues and got a lot of great items for free. I love the surprise factor.

It was a great year! Thank you!

This is the first time that I "religiously" bought stuff at the Free Shop and it was a really positive experience overall. Managing all of this must have been tedious, I'm very thankful for your responsiveness and efficiency through the bugs and glitches! Hats off!

good to know they were there! Its mainly the one to an account combined with multi-use aspect, and people missing days.

Best free shop experience I’ve ever had. Lots of amazing items mixed in with cheaper fragging items and it was so much fun to be able to take part :) the minor hiccups didn’t make it any less enjoyable

I enjoyed the free shop so much. I can't echo the words of everybody else's posts enough in this thread. I got a nice mix of all kinds of items, and even a few wishlist items that I thought I wouldn't get (at least for a good while after saving!). I really appreciate the opportunity of letting me stalk the shop for a good while. :)

I was very happy with the free shop there was a good variety of items not a lot of repeats which was nice

The only complaint I have? The users who complained constantly about the free shop or how laggy things got, of course I got some junk items but I wasnt super upset with the shop at all I was happy to give away things I already owned.

Thank you for the free shop it was a wonderful experience you didnt have to do it but you did, I apologize for all of those who were hammering you guys but a lot if not 99% of us appreciated it ^^

Can confirm, I got several current Melody items (luckily for me it was mainly the books!)

Also, this year, minus the hiccups, was really good. Usually I drown in Melody items to the point I have 7+ of everything, but this year I grabbed a bunch of WL stuff. Whatever was done with what was in stock was a good thing.
