I think there needs to be a better way to buy new release Kittycats

[Ivy Norsk]

Well. But see, this is part of the game. It's a gumball machine and it is loaded with more of some colors than others. The odds aren't meant to be even. Some colors are meant to be scarce and some Very scarce. It makes them more collectible.

You should only spend as much as you feel comfortable spending and only play the odds for as long as it's fun.
Hang on to your extras from the last releases. In a year, they will be worth many more lindens as collectibles.
