Hi, it's me again! I'm still fairly new at Subeta and trying to learn from other users. Are buying collections in the Cash Shop worth it? Do they usually have good items in them? Any way to know ahead of time what's in them? TIA!

EDIT: haha never mind! I figured it out.

for the new month usually the item directory will have em before news release, in the drop down there for order choose descending and itll show newest first. for older ones the id works as well but subetalodge is generally easier for the older ones

In addition to Subetalodge, there's also this guide that might be a bit easier to navigate although not fully up to date: Guide to Monthly Collection Items + DPs (Updated 9/28/25)

It's just a matter of taste, but there are many good items from collections. If you want wearables, then check subetalodge like others have said and the current shop price before you buy anything from a past collection. Subetalodge will keep the hair in your head when it comes to looking up collection and holiday items. Many collection items tend drop in value when they are from a past year, so those will be easier on your wallet. Not much, though! They still sell for several million unless it's really old, and the newer ones are often more expensive than their original selling price.

If you have many items of value in your shop and need sp, just go down to the advertising forum and offer a percentage off in your shop and you can sell at request. Most people set up trade lots for this marked as reserved.

Some my favorite collection items: [Item=china dish set]

Those are some really nice backdrops. Thanks everyone for the input.
