Spacing Limited Editions

[Deer Thistle]

I was just thinking that Dev! I know we have collection releases practically all year but somehow Halloween-Easter seems way more hectic and I always feel like I have to pick, choose, and strategize which collection to focus on and how to make it work in my cattery. RFL came out last year on July 12th if the site is correct: http://kittycats.biz/blog/2012/07/12/kic...kittycats/

And I think the fact that we get a little break from having to purchase starters for a few months combined with the two post-Easter collections being small, with the RFL 2012 kitties having 4 different gacha options (Goldie, Golden, Nickel, Nicki) and the Collabor88 2012 Baroque coming in only two flavors as well, just really lightened the load above and beyond the dates that these collections were released.

Maybe it's because some (me included at times when I fall in love with a collection but I've learned to moderate my habit a bit, LOL) feel compelled to keep buying starters to get that grail one in the gacha so they end up with so many starters (and often can't breed all of them, unfortunately, nor can sell them off as everyone else is trying to sell off their mass quantities too) it's overwhelming or having to look to the secondary market with its sometimes exorbitant prices to purchase that grail starter if their gacha luck was poor, and then can't afford to purchase the new release a month down the road because of the hefty price paid to obtain their sole dream kitty from that collection not to mention the lack of breeding time that was able to be put into it.

I really can't figure pinpont exactly why the Halloween-Easter time frame always feels much more hectic while the months in-between seem more peaceful despite having RFL and Collabor88, and little goodies and surprises inserted like last year's Team KittyCatS. Is it a combination of the size of these Halloween-Easter collections - which are always large in comparison to the off-months - with having a few months apart to progress on our breeding projects without any interruption, that makes Halloween-Easter seem so much more exhaustive?
