Release older buildings for newer players!
Well, many of the items were limited time or tied to episodes, so it wouldn't make sense to release them again. They have released some old items here and there so you never know though.

There's a difference between "limited time" and "one time" . IMHO most items for this game that are limited time are that way because they're tied to an event or holiday. For those items that are NOT linked to an event, if every item was left up, it would take FOREVER to scroll through items.
There's also a HUGE difference between "limited time" and "limited EDITION"... "Limited edition" is a privilege -- only a certain number of the item, or a promise that nobody else will be able to get it ever again. We all know that the rarer a thing is, a level of prestige is attached to its un availability. (note: i use the term "prestige" in the nice way -- not the snarky way)
For those items that were sold in the past as "Limited TIME", but not any more, it would be simple for ea to add one more "category" -- "vintage". Tho se of us who are inspired by what we see in older SFs can take time to find them by scrolling that category.
If there is a MAJORITY feeling by those veterans who thought they are being slighted or disappointed, then make all "vintage" items premium. If there are even stronger feelings that we are undeserving, then jack up the prices.
