    I have the maple store. I had it in a row I started for my son (so he wouldn't accidentally spend my donuts). He lost interest and I kept it up as a feeder town but he sold the maple store. 'Doh!

    If they pulled it to appease Android then why is Homer allowed to play on his Mapple for 45 secs?

    Good point. If it was really so offensive to Android then they probably would have changed the name of the building or something.

    It's pointless changing the building name or something. It's id would be unrecognisable from the tie in.

    I think its awesome when people are foolish enough to act like they know why EA does the things it does. Yeah, the Mapple store had to go because of "branding" issues, but the first quests you do no matter what device you play on involve Homer using his MyPad. Yeah, that's consistent enough to draw a conclusion from...

    Considering that they resized the Helter Shelter, I suppose they could redesign the logo on the Mapple Store and rerelease it as the Cellular Store. Or something like that. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Create a duplicate building and call it The Candroid Store. Available only on android. If i open my town later on an ios device, the Candroid Store will be invisible.

    Restrict players from owning both buildings.

    We'll be just like the Sneetches.

    Yeah, that's fare to us on iPhone who started later. Be nice to get, though will live without it if I have to. I also need more commerce in my town. Have four stars, & won't build multiples to get.

    I have been a big proponent of all limited time items returning. And they all will return. But I keep seeing people hold out hope for the Mapple Store. It's not coming back.

    Unlike limited time items, the Mapple Store was a regular permanent item. It was not limited time. It's the only permanent item that was ever pulled. And not coincidentally, it was pulled right as the game was being added to android. Obviously they don't want to seem like they're favoring 1 phone over the other.

    Being that this was not limited time, and yet it was still pulled, it's obviously never coming back. They intended to pull it. My point is you people need to stop holding out false hope and just give up. It's over. You will NEVER have the Mapple Store if you missed it. I have it so I'm great. But you won't have it ever. How does that make you feel?

    I think that anyone that is banned is only temporary, it lasts for 30 days initially. But I think Josh even commented that they were not able to restore his original screen name, and that is why he has a new one with King in front.

    It was an Xmas thing, was like the 3rd item you got with Santa Coins, I think. We got the Try N Save and Mapple Store and Barney's Bowlarama with Barney, then the Funzos and Santas Little Helper. I guess after the Xmas event, the Try N Save, Mapple Store, and Barney's Bowlarama became permanent additions to the game. But Mapple store was pulled after only a few months, while the Try N Save and Barney stayed. I am pretty sure that's how it happened. I earned the items during Xmas for free as well. But I have read about the items being available later. Kinda like the Stadium and Sleep Easy after Whacking Day becoming permanent additions. But the Mapple Store was pulled later.

    Well then, as a consolation prize, they should release the store that Homer bought his bowling ball at when he cashed in all of his Maple shares.

    Are you the same guy who complained about the cool brown house coming back, because you couldn't feel special anymore for having it?

    I'll patiently wait for the baww-thread when the mapple store comes back.

    I see they also recycled the cool brown house which was really lame other than the fact that I felt special for having it while others missed out. Now it's lost its value.
