Hi Cheezburgers,
Here is the update on the changes to the Collectibles program:
What are the big changes?
Starting this week, a brand new Collectibles set will be available on I Can Has Cheezburger? and Memebase. Only one set per site (ICHC and Memebase) will be available to be earned by visiting the sites. All future Collectibles sets will roll out at midnight Pacific Time on Sundays, and you’ll have seven days to collect as many as you can! Â After that, they’ll be available for redemption via Cheezburger Coins for two weeks and then go into retirement and become unavailable to be earned or purchased.
Why are sets available only for one week?
One common request from you has been: More sets! Â Because only one set on ICHC and Memebase is live at any given time, you won’t have to deal with more of the same-old and not getting the new sets. You will get new Collectibles more quickly, instead of getting 23 more Tulips.
We want to expand the number of participants and we believe that having fresh, fun new sets would draw in more users. Though the program had a number of fans, it was not popular enough and we either had to change the Collectibles program or discontinue it.  We decided to try some changes.  And one of the changes was to make more sets available on a regular schedule.  Based on the success of Lolmart’s Shirt of the Week program we wanted to try something similar with the Collectibles program.
We’re cutting the cost of purchasing Collectibles sets in half!
The price of Collectibles sets is being cut in half — complete sets will now only cost 50 Cheezburger Coins (vs. the 100 it used to cost). Â Individual Collectibles will cost 12, 13 or 16 coins now — down from the old prices of 21, 23, 25 and 27 coins. Â We want collecting and buying Collectibles to be fun and enjoyable. We would like to add fun new features and make it more user-friendly. We’ll spend all that we earn from the sale of Cheezburger Coins to do just that.
Can I still earn Collectibles sets just by visiting (and not spending money)?
Absolutely. Collectibles are free to be earned just by visiting. The updated program still encourages trading and gifting, since a week of collecting will give you extras to give to friends. As before, you have the option of buying a Collectible if you want to, but the Collectibles program is still free for everyone. Â We will be closely watching to see how hard or easy it is to collect a full set of Collectibles. Â We will consider tweaking the frequency and ways in which Collectibles are awarded so that the program will continue to be fun and fair for everyone.
How do I know what Collectibles sets are available?
We know we can do a better job letting everyone know what is available and what is happening to the program. Â We will communicate more frequently on the Cheezburger Blog in the short-term, and we’ll create a new Collectibles-only blog in the near future. Â In addition, we will be announcing the new weekly Collectibles sets in our LOLmart weekly newsletter (where we also announce the new Shirts of the Week) — you can sign up for the newsletter here.
What happened last week?
We had a number of old sets running that should not have been available due to some technical issues. Â The easiest way for us to deal with the situation was to turn off all the I Can Has Cheezburger? sets. Â We understand the suddenness and the lack of communication caused a lot of confusion and even some hurt feelings. Â We are sorry about that. Â Stay tuned; we are working on ideas that will allow you to be able to complete the sets that were retired, like the LOLrus set.
Change brings uncertainty, but we are listening to your feedback and concerns and are here to answer any questions you may have. We want to make this fun for more people. We want to find ways to add and grow Collectibles to make it full of fun things, random surprises, special collectible designs, and more!
Thanks for your patience and your feedback.
Cheers,
The Cheezburger Team
I have an idea that I pitched somewhere before, but this time it seems even more appropriate than it did then:
You should allow people to sell their extra collectibles for Cheezcoins. I don’t have a credit card, so I can’t buy cheezcoins, and I only have nine left from the group I got for starting an account, still too few to afford any new collectibles even at the new low prices. I have plenty of extras, so if it were possible to redeem them for cheezcoins I would be able to get rid of some of my surplus and get some newer collectibles without hunting down people to trade with. Also, in addition to this, I think it would be nice to be able to sell collectibles to other users, so that way people can get older items that are no longer on sale without trading or begging. You could have where the users select the collectibles they want to sell and put a price on them. Then, when people view their profiles, there will be a link to their collectibles that are on sale, which tells how many are for sale and at what price.
Genius!!!
^this
I think if people sold their extras back there would be people with way too many coins. It would create a weird economic disparity, so t speak. I know some people have a variety of accounts that they just use to gather themselves extra collectibles So I’m not sure that would work for the Cheezlords.
I do wish we could gift collectibles we have single ones of, though. My friend has some random ones she got sitting around and I could use a couple of them, but she only has one so she cant gift them.
I’d even sell collectibles back at a fraction of the original cost(say 5 coins). I have lots of extras, and still need the elusive LOLrus. If anyone has an extra LoLrus,I have many to chose from (including Swimwear Formal & Bachelor Frog). The suggestion of being able to gift singles is a great one. I have one friend who HATES the collectibles and would give them all away if able.
The 1-week limitation still STINKS. And now, sorry folks that I used to give freely to (because I enjoyed it!) – I’ve got to save my old duplicates to exchange for the ones that come out when I’m out of the country or on vacation.
Way to turn us all into mercenaries, ICHC
So another little bit of the happiness and friendliness dies…
Two suggestions:
1) – Split those you can collect and are active from those that are semi-retired but can still be bought through the Coins system. I had no idea that Lolrus was retired – was still hoping to get some – it does not say anywhere on the “Collectibles” page that you cannot earn these 2 sets any more.
2 – Allow people to gift collectibles even if they only have 1 of the item – there are lots of accounts with just a few collectibles stuck to them that could go into circulation if you allowed this.
Please
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally an explanation of what is going on. I actually think this plan may work, but if it doesn’t it’s good to know the Cheezlords are monitoring the situation to keep collecting fun and fair for us all. The new sets are really cute and I can’t wait to get them all.
One thing I do have a question about is why my posts keep getting set to “waiting for moderation”? Sometimes they go right through and sometimes they’re moderated. I’m confused.
First personal LOL at Cheezlords. That’s a new one for me.
All posts on the company blog should be set to moderation first now (they were supposed to be set that way always). We do read everything (and it’s a lot of us – Jen, Chris, Randy, Ben, myself, etc.) and approve all constructive comments.
Thankies for the explanation about moderation. I thought maybe I had offended the Cheezlords somehow.
You’ll get used to it, o Hight and Mighty ;D
Thanks for explaining everything – though it’s a shame you didn’t do it a bit earlier. Anyway, we’ll be waiting for the news on the LOLrus set – some people are still panicking over it, and it is not a pretty sight.
Also, I think it may be a bit much to have two new sets every week and have them retire so quickly. As it is there are 27 retired sets; newbies are really going to have their work cut out for them if they want to get all of them. When I started my account there were only about eight retired sets, but it still took me weeks to complete my collection, so someone who started their account today would be pretty much screwed if they wanted to complete their collection (especially the Turkey, Thermometer, Karot, and Reflex hammer; those were hard to get when I started in January; they’re practically impossible to find now).
Second, no matter how creative you are, you’re going to start getting writer’s block eventually if you make so many collectibles in such a short amount of time.
Here’s my plan for how you can rearrange the system of new set releases:
Make Failblog collectibles; when TDW gets bigger, make some TDW sets. Then, release one new set a week going in a cycle like the one on the top of the page: one week you make a ICHC set, the next week you make a failblog set, the next week you make a Meme set, and the last week you make a TDW set. Have where at any one time there will be only one active set from each of those categories, so by the time they retire they will have been active for 4 weeks. That way, we can get much more variety, will still be getting one new set a week, will know when each is going to retire, will have plenty of time to get each of them (and you’ll be able to last much longer before the writer’s block sets in).
How about expanding the Trophy Sets? With all the outright gifting and/or exchanging of collectibles, it’s time to award Trophies to the many magnanimous and unselfish Collectible Donors on ICHC. I love gifting and trading collectibles (even without reward), but I also love getting Trophies! And though I LOVE LOLs, apparently I’m not clever enough to create my own, so I have run out of Trophy options.
^^
I like the idea of getting Trophies based on participation in trading and gifting. Great Idea!
This is a great idea! One of the new criteria I use for whether or not I approve new friend requests is if the person requesting shares their extra Collectibles. It doesn’t matter if they have something I need – but if I see somebody with 8 Invisible Bikes and an equally high number of other hard-to-find ones and the information blurb indicates they don’t give (m)any away… I don’t friend them. I will never get the Facebook trophies, because I never go there – can’t stand that site. But by rewarding people who share here, some of these hard-to-find ones that are being hoarded may see themselves actually going to people who *don’t* have half a dozen of them.
And to repeat my suggestion from before: Please let us gift to people not on our friends list. There are people I would gladly share with, but I don’t want to have to add hundreds more to my list to do it! I prefer the folks on my friends list to be people with common interests, and I’m afraid that a common interest in collectibles just isn’t enough.
I think trophies for gifting is neat idea too!
I bet I would win that one. LOL!
1765 GIFTED
287 complete sets
Not really big on the trophies since they’ve been glitching for me for months. I’ve followed what the cheezeguys troubleshooting said and still no trophy for 250 favorites – and I think I’ve gotten something like 340 favorites. I think it’s tied into the fact I use two different computers to check the sites – one at home that I can perform various upgrades and the one at work which I can not modify or even make downloads to without approval from the company computer guys.
Anyway –
I’m certainly not participating to get trophies nor collectible sets (but the completeist in me must…have… complete… sets…. *grin*) I’m doing for the fun. Especially having some really great cheezfriends.
I am owed a trophy as well. This area appears to be broken.
@Badbonita – Now I understand my trophy problem. Accessing this site from more than one computer does indeed mess up a few things.
@collectible fan – Sound like a very nice idea. This one week lifetime for a set just aggressively force users to form friend groups that share little interest other than Collectibles. Not sure this will help much to the company cash flow. Selling extra items will not work as people will abuse it with multi accounts and other scams.
@FairfaxCyn – More trophies could be awesome. I wonder if there is one location with a list of all possible ones and an explanation of the way to get them (even for the rare special ones).
I think trophies are a fun idea! And it would encourage people to make friends and trade more. Plus I agree that the trophies are a bit limited at the moment.
Okay, I guess I am one of the weirdos here. I don’t really want the collectables. Is there a way I can opt out of them without having to logout all the time? I would like a setting that says “Please don’t offer me any collectables, kthxbai”
Lolrus retired? It’s an absurd! Several friends still didn’t have it!! Why can’t you let Lolrus still active for a few days instead of “working on ideas” that will allow us to be able to complete the sets that were retired so early? Just can’t understand why you are going to the hardest way O.o
Agreed. It would have been nice to see the ‘LOLrus Pool Party’ set active longer.
That set was cute. The 2 new ones, not so much.
agree with MelB. Lolrus set was cute with well made graphics. These new ones are just average looking.
Please, bring Lolrus back!!
Agree too. I hate the new one week rule. Hate it, I say. Most of my friends didn’t get to complete the Picture Is Unrelated sets either. 2 sets, one for each site, 1 month to complete and give extras to friends. Retire and then keep Purchase set links up for newbies that join.
Thank you for giving us an idea of what is happening. I know many of us are still unhappy with the newest policies, but will see how it goes.
In the meantime, my foodshelf of extra collectibles is open, if you are missing anything from 2011, stop by and ask. If you’ve got extras from that time period, please consider donating to the cause. We’ll complete each other’s sets somehow!
Great. 1 week turnaround time.
Why is it only Tuesday and I already have 2 keyboard cats AND 2 popstars.
I got duplicates too. Doughnut Kitteh and Hip Hop Bunny. Friend me if you’d like to trade.
I also received duplicates of the two that I received yesterday.
oh god 1 week retire new 1 week retire broken internet longer than longcat oh god serious cat
And yet again I got equal collectibles 2 days after each other…. or is that because I’m in Europe and didn’t visit before / after pacific time?
I think 1 week is too fast, 2 weeks would be better, and no, 23 tulips still won’t happen then because the Spring set is around waaaaay longer than 2 weeks. This gives me no opportunity to get collectible sets complete myself without trading because I have to go on business trips quite often.
And please… re-release the lolrus set for 1 more week, there are a lot of people with incomplete sets and no opportunity of buying coins (since abroad)….
OK, day two and I received duplicates of BOTH the collectibles I received on day 1. That’s a 6.25% probability of occurrence. I’m curious to see others’ results.
….assuming they’re randomly distributed, of course.
I got duplicates of both collectibles too.
Two Doughnut Kitteh and two Hip Hop Bunny
Same here- day #2 of 7 and I have 2 doughnuts and 2 hip hops….. Sure doesn’t seem “random”
Day 3 – 3 identical sets of Hip Hop Bunny and Doughnut Kitteh. Good fix bros.
Thank you for keeping us up to date with what is going on.
I also feel that one week is too short a time for a set to be available through page loads. I would prefer to see the sets made available through page loads for two weeks rather then one week. For a variety of reasons, cheezfolk may not always have internet access available to them. We take vacations, go on business trips, get sick, or any number of reasons. Some cheezfolk would prefer to enjoy the collectibles through earning them without having to trade for them, or buy them. It would be nice if we had a slightly longer time to earn them on our own.
Thanks for considering this idea.
Why not issue new collectible sets for Fail Blog sites (Failbook, LFMF, etc).
Why only the ICHC and Memebase groups?
Failblog sets is high on the list for consideration. We want to see how the new distribution model will work on Memebase and ICHC first.
new distribution model = FAIL
No argument with most of your points; there were too many sets running at the same time and they were available for too long. I think that the major gripe here is that one week is not long enough to fill out our own cards and rack up extras for gifting or trading. There are quite a number of cheezers that cannot get on here daily (work, vacation, school etc.) and there are a number of others that collect extras for them. If cutting the cost of running the collectible program is the goal, does it make sense to have to design a new set every week? I’m lobbying for 2 weeks minimum, 4 max. Doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.
Thanks for the update. And yes, I’d go with a two week time frame. Don’t want to sell my extras, would rather just trade or give them away.
And please bring back Lolrus, even if just for a week. I have no beach ball, and don’t know of anyone who has an extra one.
I have beach balls. Friend me.
I have received duplicates already also. If we can only log in once a day, what’s the point of collecting them. I would share them but none of my friends visit this site.
For the third day in a row now, I have received the identical collectibles. I agree with you, what is the point of collecting them when there is no change in what is received. I handed out all of my duplicates this morning.
I’d like to trade collectibles, but I have only one cheezfrend who gives them to me. I’ve given away lots, but don’t get them back. I’ve also seen new people who have very few collectibles and I have lots of the old ones, but I can only give those people gifts if they accept my friend invitation. Could there be a forum where we could exchange collectibles without having to be friends?
Yes this is exactly what we need! I need to trade an Ice Cream Kitteh and it would be ideal to have somewhere to go just to do that.
I don’t like the new system at all. With now 300 cheez friends, there will be NO WAY to gift the extras to everyone. I have to quit accepting friend requests, because now I can no longer keep up. So MOST of my list will now have to do without. Thanks a lot!
2 sets, 2 sites for a month, should give us plenty of time to rack up the extras for gifting and trading. I think the last blog entry posts everyone said they did not like the one week rule. Do NOT like it at all.
Retiress should ALWAYS be available for sale. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS, because there are new people who find the site everyday and want the older retirees and everyone’s sets are now depleted of the old ones. That’s not fair to them, and they shouldn’t be punished for being a newbie to the site. Purchase Set links and individuals for sale are good for all.
My niece thought about joining, but she wont’ be able to get the old ones, so she’s not going to join now. She changed her mind and doesn’t want the stress and hassle.
And the prices ARE more reasonable, so at least something is better. So BIG THANKS for that.
A whole month to earn two sets at a time, with plenty of extras earned to gift to friends who are absent, on vacation, or whatever. That’s reasonable, I think.
And retirees being ALWAYS AVAILABLE for sale for new folks, if they would rather buy. If it were me, I would rather buy if I was a newbie, and not bother ppl over a collectible.
1. I agree with the friends thing to a point, but there’s one big exception. Every time there’s a snafu on the site I come to the blog and add most of the people complaining, because I know they’re as neurotic about this crap as I am.
2. Agree about 2 sets per site active at a time for 2 weeks each.
3. 52 collectible sets per year per site feels like it will dilute the quality somewhat. They used to make sense and each were about distinct memes, now we get concept collectibles. Which is fine btw, I understand the business side of it, but I’m thinking people will stop caring about them soon.
Oh, no, not another Ice Cream kitteh. Who needs one? This is the third I got since the series was released…. guess bugfix didn’t work for me :S
I have had the same 2 (Hipster and icecream) all 3 days so far and only have others due to trading and kindness. So much for making sure we all get the chance to get them all.
You earned an Ice Cream Kitteh on July 13 at 9:46 AM
You earned a Hipster Cat on July 13 at 9:42 AM
You earned an Ice Cream Kitteh on July 12 at 10:58 AM
You earned a Hipster Cat on July 12 at 10:49 AM
You earned an Ice Cream Kitteh on July 11 at 4:03 PM
I’ll trade someone a hipster cat for a donut kitteh or hip hop bunny! Just friend me
I have managed to get new ones each day so far. Just missing Cupcake and Guitar… I hope everyone is able to get the ones they are missing before time runs out!
I keep getting nothing BUT cupcake and guitar.
I’m looking for a Hip Hop Bunny, Keyboard Cat, Doughnut Kitteh or Popstar Kitteh, and I have some extras from this new sets and the froggy set. And plenty of olddies.
Hmmmmm, how about a TROPHY for super gifting? That might encourage more sharing, less hoarding.
I would love some Must Have Cute collectibles, and totally agree with the trophies ideas!
While I kinda sorta maybe agree with the new collectible policy, it WILL make trading that much more important IMO.
Although I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed in the LOLrus set being retired (even though it still shows as active… ).
LOLrus is active in that it can be purchased. And per the post we do plan on doing something for the LOLrus set in the future given the ups and down last week. To that point we appreciate your patience while we strategize.
I agree with having the option to opt of of the entire collectible debacle. Four days into the week, I have visited the sites each day, and I keep getting the same bloody collectibles. Normally this would just be that standard pain in the gluteous maximus, but with only 7 days to collect it is infuriating. This is not fun anymore.
I need Keyboard Cat, Ice Cream Kitty, Popstar Kitty. I have an extra HipHop Bunny and Bachelor Frog if anyone needs those.
I also need a Crab Hat and Swimwear Formal, and I have a bunch of retirees to trade.
I find it interesting that my last comment, which pointed out the approximate odds of being able to successfully fill both sets in just one week of logging in and getting two collectibles every day, sat awaiting moderation for several days, then suddenly vanished sometime after noon today.
Do the math folks… The odds are against you. One week simply isn’t enough time unless you get very lucky in what collectibles you get awarded.
Plenty of time to sell lots and lots of coins though…
Todd, I am still a bit confused. When you say, “Only one set per site (ICHC and Memebase) will be available to be earned by visiting the sites” – does that mean we get 1 collectible per every sub-site we visit under the ICHC and Memebase banners on any given day (meaning that if I visit LolCats site and the HotDogs site and the Wedinator site on any given day, I will get 3 collectibles towards the active ICHC collectibles set)? Or is it still 1 collectible per day per set no matter how many sub-sites we visit?
If it’s the former, that would be awesome. If it’s the latter, well, what’s the difference from what you guys originally proposed anyway, which everyone protested to?
Cheezburger, Y U No give me anything but Ice Cream Kitty & Hipster Cat? Ebery Day! Run out of friends to gift them to. What I doin’ wrong?
Day 1: doughnut and hip hop Day 2: same as day 1. Day 3: cupcake and guitar. Day 4: same as day 1. Day 5: same as day 3…… Did you do the math? I have got the SAME items each day, and now have three of one and two of another with only two days left to complete the sets- the odds are HIGHLY against me! Do you still refer to your collectibles problem as “fixed”?
Even in a random situation (which are collectibles are) you can get the same items. The probability of getting any Collectible in a set has not changed from before. For instance the first Collectible in a set has a greater then 1 in 4 chance of getting awarded any time you are eligible. For instance, I know even the rarest in a set – the last – are being awarded as I went to gift one of the Poptart Kitty set I had to a few folks and they all had them. We are paying attention to the number of sets being awarded and if the percentage of full sets being awarded isn’t what we would expect then we will make additional adjustments. We expect to refine the program over time with changes to as we said make it fun and fair for everyone.
Say WHAT? the 1st. has a greater than 1 in 4 chance? What would that be then? A 1 in 3? A 1 in 2?……. then you go on to say that the last one IS Rare… Rarer? Rarest? That would be a 1 in 5? A 1 in 6? A 1 in 7 Chance? You ever play the pony’s? I doubt it.
Lastly you admit then that your awarding program is actually rigged as you state: “We expect to refine the program over time with changes to as we said make it fun and fair for everyone.” Then according to you it is not fair at the moment and you happen to know it, but will change it; if enough people complain.
This is exactly what you have said in your own words.
What’s the matter… are you actually afraid that others will see comments that YOU don’t agree with… that do not further your purpose… Ones that do speak the truth, but you just don’t want other people to actually see? YES. because you allow only what you want others to see, as witness by my comment.
Not to worry. your ‘collectible program’ is destined to fail. because you actually have no idea how to work it. So far the whole month of July has been a total failure for you, and so will this program. As I wrote before 104 SETS of collectibles to be given out over the next year.. is a WASTE.. People already know this is now a waste of time and have just given up trying to tell you about it.
You FAILED YOURSELF.
I completely agree with everything Whatev’s said above, especially this, “People already know this is now a waste of time and have just given up trying to tell you about it.”
The Cheezlords have closed their ears to us.
Too many sets, not enough time. So sad, collecting used to be fun.
“For instance, I know even the rarest in a set – the last – are being awarded as I went to gift one of the Poptart Kitty set I had to a few folks and they all had them.”
What part of this elusive collectible BS that we complained about, did u folks NOT understand.
Does anyone there know what the term EQUAL means? What part of making them ALL EQUAL do you not understand.
With only ONE WEEK to get FULL sets, and yet you guys still pull this “hard-to-get elusive special collectible” crap. And with this one week only rule, alot of folks got the duplicates and STILL did NOT earn the Keyboard Cat and Popstar Kitteh. Another Turkey and Thermometer FAIL.
ONE month is sufficient for two sets, one ICHC and one MEMEBASE. I think that’s reasonable.
I did NOT vote new and more collectibles more often.
However, keeping them for sale is also a good idea, but be reasonable and be fair and fix the system to give them out evenly. Quit pulling this elusive thing. NO ONE likes that. NO ONE.
They can’t all have a greater than 1/4 chance. If they were all equal, you’d have a 1/4 chance of getting any given collectible each time. Since you apparently are making some more likely (i.e., “greater than 1 in 4″) you HAVE to be making some LESS likely. 4 times 1 in 4 (4 x .25) is 1. Total probability can’t be more than 1. If you alter these odds for any one collectible, you automatically change the odds for all the others, because you must sum to 1.
yay. same here.
One week is not enough! At least alternate them for now – one week get MEMEbase, next ICHC. At least that’s two weeks. Seven days is not enough. 14 is slightly better. I’m hoping to see Fail Blog and TDW collectibles soon so that would bring it up to where it chould be – one month on each set.
Please to trade:
I really need keyboard kitteh (x2 , daughter = LGHockey, missed this one too )…we have extra guitar kittehs, hipster kittehs, hiphop bunnehs, plus extra ice cream kitteh or cupcake kitteh if you would rather have those
i am new to the site and want to know, if you make an lolz does it get put some where for people to see or is it just on your profile. plzzzzzz help me
It stays in your profile unless the powers that be put it on the vote page. If it gets enough vote on there it can make it to the homepage.
I used to give out my extra items to my freinds that needed them just because they didn’t have them….. without trading…… just to be nice, but now you force us to save them for later and use them as 3 for 1 trades for just one item. your greed to make us buy the items turned a nice side of your site into a bad one.
I agree completely. I used to gift fairly indiscriminantly. Now I’m pretty much only trading until I see how things shake out.
Not happy about that, any aspect.
Umm, so why did I get a Guitar Cat on 18th July? I thought I would get the new collection. I am lost in these new rules.
Ai thawt dat teh sets were onli available fur wun week…..ai just gots guitar kitteh adn cup caek kitteh?
ai hasa confused?
It would appear that the Cheezlords are still having some problems rounding up Technology Impaired Duck and keeping him away from the servers.
This “new” system looks a lot like the old one, except we only get 7 chances to collect 4 collectibles. Funny thing- friend of mine for whatever reason couldn’t get a cheezburger collectible 1 day at all and the next day… he got a 3rd collectible. I have 3 hip hop bunnies from last week and already 2 scene wolves and cheetahs.
You know what we need here, a section of the network where we can pitch ideas for new sets so that everybody, not just the cheezlords, can see them and discuss them. That way, if the cheezlords start to run out of ideas or go through a few weeks of dud sets that get horrible reviews, they can look at the ideas we fans have pitched and see which concepts seem most popular so they can make those into sets. They could even make a new trophy for pitching a collectible set that actually gets made into a real set. Seriously, I was brainstorming for about thirty minutes today and wrote down 26 ideas for possible sets that could be made; I’m sure some of them would be really good as real sets but have no way to directly post them where they will get any real notice. I even gave them titles similar to the names given to real sets: Send in the Clowns; Pirates of the ICHC; Long Arm of the Law; and Gone Fishing just to name a few.
Are they ever going to bring the collectibles back? I really enjoyed logging in everyday and getting trophies
