How many of you breeders have seen Beach Blue eyes from starter cats since the LE Halloween cats were released?
Beach Blue is a very old common dominant eye, that should have been retired - getting it in new starters so often is just strange and frustrating.
1 out of 70 chances to get Beach Blue and we have several reports of them already.
Let's have other breeders report when they get a Beach Blue hidden from their pricey new LE cats.
Um... you can only get meaningful stats if you also call for the people who Didn't get beach blue eyes in their pricey LEs. I, for one, have not (out of 3 cats that threw their hiddens this week). But I suspect that you knew that about the stats. But what is it that you want to prove with these stats?
The LE lottery is just that, a lottery. If you look at the Saga eyes chart, you can see that the dominant eyes appear to be being retired in a pattern... like pegs on a ladder, and eyes are being kept active at different ladder levels, with the vast majority of action taking place in the recessive ends of the chart (where the secondary markets would want it). Also, it seems like HeadQuarters intended to retire the eye, but just like with canary, there wasn't follow-through. Perhaps it will be retired next cycle.
Also, not everybody breeds for recessives.
Solved: Callie has confirmed that Beach Blue Eyes are not retired.
