Oh well.

I won't be doing this test.. The cost are so high!

I want to know how the rebel one looks like. Anyone got it ?

A new version (I think) of a wardrobe... you get 5 gifts and it costs MORE DB.  You have to spend 136 DB just to be able to spend "only" 10 DB.  This is something that I won't be doing.  That's just my personal opinion.

Going by the prize pictures above:
  Total items for all quizzes: 29
  5 items @ 49$$ = ~10$$ ea   (<-- worst case first)
  11 items @ (49 + 39)$$ = 88/11 . ..................= 8$$ ea
  17 items @ (49 + 39 + 29)$$ = 117/17 ............= ~6.8$$ ea
  23 items @ (49 + 39 + 29 +19)$$ = 136/23 .......= ~5.9$$ea
  29 items @ (49 + 39 + 29 + 19 + 10)$$ = 146/29 = ~5$$ea
/edit/ was going up by 5s -_-; fixed, which makes the numbers better//

Just looking at the final total is one thing. Some of this is deciding that all the pieces are worth the cost you are willing to play. If you don't like a piece, it doesn't count. So if you didn't like the shoes of one set, and the jacket of the other, in that second tier you would re-calculate 88/9 = ~10$$

BUT since we can repeat... Once you get to the 10$$ level, you get a new set at ~2$$  a piece. So if you wanted (not sure why, but as an example) All the sets, plus 5 more copies of the rebel set: That's 29 + 30 items @ 146 + 50  == 196/59  for 3.3$$ an item.


Yeah math rant over, I'm just tired of people saying 'too expensive! Not gunna'.
Cost is one thing. Value another.

Next order of business:::

Canine - 2
Big Cat - 1
Baby Herd-beast - 1
Reptile - 1

Yeah, I know my categories are kind of odd, especially for the fawn, but wasn't sure if baby animal would have been right either.

Eh, sorry, this is a bit of a complaint about lack of kitties.

Yes, I realize that the cheetah is a feline, but it is NOT the same. Big cats are species that do not domesticate well, or you might think of them as the species that can kill humans.

I do NOT like dogs. Have a mild case of Cynophobia (Fear of Dogs). I can deal, but I do not want too. Most of the time I do not even find them cute.

I know there are a lot of dog lovers out there, but why can't there be a bit more equality with the pets? If adventures have pets (and not 'animal friends') they are more likely to be a dog. I'm pretty sure that some of the adventures that have had canines and felines, have had a ratio of at least 2:1. I'm probably going to go back and double check for sure now (but I won't it post here, if at all.)

Just more kitties... please?

Hmmm for something that costs 49 bucks for the first step, the clothes are mediocre. Disappointing. I'd rather save up for something from the regular shops.

I agree too. I'm not sure I'm going to bother.

Totally agree, and sorry if I just don't like all offer

I decided to take a second look at the cost of the items after reading Orangemaid's post.

If you bought items from the store
Shoes/Boots cost around 10 $$$
Tops cost around 12 $$$ (x2)
Bottoms cost around 12 $$$
Necklaces cost around 5 $$$
Pets cost around 7 $$$

Average cost of an outfit with all these items is 58 $$$

So it's cheaper to get them from this even on the first go. I changed my mind. It isn't expensive at all.

I think why the cost is seen as high is because in the store you choose the individual pieces you really like and put an outfit together with your own creativity, i am not a big fan of these pre matched clothing sets..it seems to go against the purpose of the concept...it would in my humble oppinion be much better if you had a lower cost and one piece rewards you can select, right now i paid 49$$ for one item and the rest is gathering dust in my attic

Actually,more realistic the price of a pair of shoes is somewhere around 8-10$$ and the price of a pair of boots is 12-18$$,thus making the average cost around 12-14$$,also the price of a dress varies from 20$$$ to 35$$$, thus and making the cost of an outfit go over 60$$$ easily.
Not to mention, for the first set, the jacket is rather exclusive. I challenge you to find something similar, in the shops.The closest,but not close enough,would be from the MJ outfits.Not to mention, the outfits are styled in the new style, similar to the one in the adventures.
My sole complaint would be the short time it lasts. I would rather they were permanent.
