I liked the store, too. Some people claimed it was a money grab, and I guess if you have to have everything offered in your game, it could seem that way. But, I’ve always been choosy about my content and thought of it as a way to customize in ways the packs didn’t offer. You could get items that suited your game, a la carte. I got additional BB items, CaS, gameplay items, and even whole worlds through the store. Roaring Heights and the surf machine were essential to two of my saves. I think the kits are meant to be something of a replacement for the store, but they haven’t quite reached that level yet.
