Old topic revisited mapple store

johncolombo wrote:
I was redecorating in my town today and accidentally clicked sell on a pumpkin which reminded me of an old thread on what limited items could be sold. I was feeling brave and went over to my mapple store and clicked sell. It can be sold and for 2250. I canceld the tranasaction but hey it can be sold. EA needs to put a no deal on that item.


Completely agree- would be super sad to lose this

    Yes, since all of 2012 Halloween has made a reappearance along with the Duff Racer and Cool Brown House.

    Right now, the Mapple Store is the next rarest as that's the oldest item that hasn't returned.

    Next most desired is the Springfield Falls.
    looks like the black friday sale is going to include the SFalls so never say never

    I thought it was already agreed upon that that the maple store would never come back although I guess anything is possible.

    I've seen claims. I've never seen proof. The claims have seemed to be:

    1) Apple would sue for trademark infringement. Seems silly to me based on my limited knowledge of trademark law. Similar claims where made for why the GTA 5 iFruit app would never come to Android. It came to Android.

    2) Apple was angry about the the parody. I can't see what would incense them about it. If they were angry, why didn't they force EA to remove it entirely.

    3)Google would get angry. Why would they care about an Apple parody? Similar arguments where also made about the iFruit app coming to Android.

    4)It's an Apple exclusive. Only argument that makes any sense, but I've seen no evidence offered. If it were an Apple exclusive, why isn't it still available for Apple users? It is possible to do that.

    Absent some authoritative source, I don't think anyone discussing the subject really knows.
    if it was apple esclusive, why we android users can see it, move it (if we went to the other side), etc? nah it's just that bragging rights (till they release it again).

    I agree with everything you're saying. I've never understood the argument that it can't come back because the game is available on other platforms now. It's not Apple, it's Mapple. It's parody. Lard Lad is Big Brothers. There's a fake Planet Hollywood. Parody.

    Is Big Brothers a donut place?
  • I want it. It would be great if it is available for black friday. I want to buy donuts for Thanksgiving & Christmas. Does anyone think there could be a donut sale on black friday?

    Sorry, I'm tired, I meant "Big Boy".
    Same mascot. Giant man child in overalls in front of their stores with the pompadour hairdo.
  • I've never said that anything couldn't come back and I preached for a year that kang would come back , which I believe he may have Been one of the first returning limited time items. I'm sure everything will come back eventually but based on the overwhelming desire for the mapple store and it's been out of the game for going on two years now, along with previous discussions about why it won't come back I believe that to be true until they rerelease it. I hope everyone that wants it gets it eventually. if we don't see it though by this xmas I woukldnt expect it back till Xmas 2015.

    I'm pretty sure springfield falls all ready came back for a second time.
  • Just double checked. Yes springfield falls and swanky fish have both been offered twice.

    SF has never been reoffered. only swanky fish
  • my bad then, I thought the falls came with the swanky fish. Being that I already have everything I don't even get the options when something is rereleased. Last thing I needed was super collider and I have it all now except things I passed on purpose like stuff that just crawls around the town like the gerbil and the monkey helper.
