I like the idea. I agree about changing the random junk to new items as well. I also agree about making it limited - Available for a month only for example, or have limited numbers of the unreleased items.

I don't think BVG would be able to explode the potential income those items have with this scheme... even selling them directly in stores for a high yocash price as they did the others would make them more money...

If they can actually manage to keep those items in a high demand--maintaining the precious status in-game for such item--moderating the amount of items that go into the game and still making huge profit out of the ones that go in, would be the better option... so, again I like the idea of a raffle scheme in which players buy raffle tickets at 2 yocah each... and when a specific item hits X amount of tickets it triggers a raffle...e.g Hulk 'priced' at 2000 raffle tickets equals 4000 yocash (sales for BVG) and only one hulk makes it into the game...

In my opinion it is important to keep a certain amount of items be really valuable for the game culture to continue (the one that keeps player hustling to be able to achieve that special WTB).

So I gotta an idea on the 5yc packs!

Slowly BVG can filter in the Z unreleased items as "rares" in the 5yc packs.

It'll generate yocash sales, people will be happy to get unreleased items like the dead cat handheld, zombie baby handheld, Hulk, YoBoy Statue, Stained Glass Landscape etc... While people who like to resell later will also like the idea because instead of everyone and anyone being able to go out and spend 50yc on a Retro Crown - effectively ruining its aftermarket value, getting 1 Hulk costume out of say 20 yocash packs, allows for the Hulk costume to have aftermarket value.

Especially if the costume is only left in the pack for a couple of weeks maximum.

They don't even need to change up the random junk we get in those packs either. If you go out and buy 10 of the 5yc packs and get one "rare" you don't care about the 9 junk items as you can either keep and love the "rare" or resell it later for massive profit.

What say you?

I say Yay! This is a great money maker idea for BVG and I would totally blow my YC Wad trying for a HH dead cat!

I would buy if it was guaranteed that every pack had an unreleased item. Sounds like a good idea.

I don't agree! I like the way BVG has released the Un released items so far.

That yocrack had a hold on me in the early days. I'm scared to go back. Samberg's idea is both exciting and scary.

Well... that explains it! *smacks self on forehead* I have been buying those things trying and trying and trying to get some of the old things back I gave away. Never could get a one. It just never dawned on me that maybe they weren't in there anymore!

I like the idea of some of the unreleased items being put in mystery packs. Great idea! I'd buy a few (a few = a lot). These things have always been a weakness of mine.

Sounds like an excellent idea. So if you cannot release them all into stores, BVG, cram them into mystery packs and sell them over at the Gifts and Flowers shop.

I'm down with this except the leaving the same crap in them part... Load them up with the unreleased. Some more prevalent than others to create that true "rare" ....

Because this >>>

For yocash.. is bs.

That's such a great idea! I love it! Count me in for a ton of them. Sure, just walking into the store and buying something is tons of fun, but there's just something more exciting about opening those mystery packs.

Oh, yeah. I definitely agree with this. Great point.
