I was surprised to read in the Marketplace Forum that Cactus chairs are no longer available as an upgrade option. They are now collectible pieces. I understand the need to retire some furniture choices so that there is a market for new ones, but will it always be done randomly and without a heads up?
Fortunately, I have 2 cactus chairs in my inventory. If I hadn't caught the marketplace post, chances are that I would have eventually changed their style without realizing I was throwing away my only chance to have that type unless I spend thousands of currents to purchase one.
Why not give some warning before changing the style of a retired piece, like the one we get when we are going to spend favor... something like "Are you sure you want to change style---this style has been retired".
