I am not feeling / liking this latest release at all for the reasons I give below.
Firstly thank you for trying to give us something for the Canadian Holiday and Fourth of July - I know that we have all been breathing down your necks for more new items like the insatiable "kids" we can be.
Nonetheless I do not think the items that have been released are up to the standard that we have been accustomed to. It is rather telling that 2 hours after the update there are no WTB events nor are any players in any great numbers wearing any of the new items released. I think that more work needs to be done on the shaping and shading of the items that our Yo wear both as clothes and hairstyles - as if this is what we are to expect from hereon in, I can not begin to imagine how much more valuable the older stuff in game will become.
Also having missed out on the Gary pants on their first debut and having to pay highly to get a pair I am dismayed that these pants have been re- released again. This kind of yo- yo'ing is the kind of action that will destroy the Yo economy and drive away players. Of course I am happy that I can now obtain these pants for 100c instead of the x mount of coins that lucky players who obtained them were able to sell them for - but that is part and parcel of this game. It is what makes the game so exciting. The fact that you could log in and come across an accidental release is what motivates players to log in numerous times in a day. If this element of the game is going to be downtrodden by the constant re- release of items then whats the point of it all. Like I said - now I have serious concerns about future releases which I didn't have before.
As you can see I have already shown my support for the game by purchasing a few of these items - but mainly to demonstrate that I want this game to succeed. I have not purchased them all like i would have in a normal release and neither do I intend to.

I cant accept that in a game where it's the rarity of items that dictates it value - that items that were "legitimately" put in game, accidental or otherwise could or should be causally re-released in the fashion that it has been. That's my personal opinion.
I have now had an opportunity to read a few other comments on this thread and I see that I am not the only one that feels the same way about the standard of this release and more importantly I have now read Gary's answers to some of the issues that have been raised. I stand by everything I mentioned in my previous post save that I do feel a little "less" concerned now that I know our feelings in respect of this release are being heard by Gary and the art team. I get that more time is needed and would have preferred a better but later release of items than an early release of what we have.
And just so we are clear my feedback was specifically related to this release and was not a reflection on how BVG have managed the game since takeover.
