I was wondering whether cash shop items that don't say "retired" ever return to the cash shop? I'm especially wondering about , and .
And what exactly are collection items?
Thanks :)
"Collection Items" from the Cash Shop are generally items from monthly collections, for example: !
And the short answer to your question is that yes, items do occasionally return to the Cash Shop! Black Friday is usually the best time to grab things, because even retired items often return! Here is last year's Black Friday news post for some clarification! (:

Cash Shop items always have a chance of being brought back. They usually bring some old items back during the Black Friday sale in November, but sometimes they bring back other things for short periods of time throughout the year. If there is anything specific you would like to see make a return, you're welcome to post it in this thread:
Items to put back into circulation
But it's mainly used for items that have gotten really expensive and are no longer readily available. There are a lot of Cash Shop items that are expensive, but also a lot that may be about the same price or cheaper to buy with sP (when you consider the price of buying CSC with sP).
Collection items are items that are part of one of the monthly collection sets.

They get brought back during the month they were originally released in. They're not like any more special than other items, it's just the category they're in. Usually there's a theme every month and the items in the set correspond to whatever the theme is. There will be various items like wearables or books or food and stuff like that.
Thank you, and ! Do you know where I can see which items belong in which set?
If you go off-site to subetalodge, you can search for each collection there, and it'll show you which items belong to each collection! (: I'm not sure if there's an on-site way to view them without looking for each news post...

This thread has the monthly collections grouped by month and then by year. Doesn't have the collections from this year yet, but otherwise it's a good complete list.
Thank you, that helps a lot!
