    I never buy stuff from the store cause it is ridiculously priced so don't really know anything about it, but does the premium content that comes with worlds ever end up for sale them selfs, like the classic fixer up car that came with roaring heights?

      Yes they do. Check under the Premium Content tab in the Store. The later stuff is still tied to the venue it came with and isn't available for separate purchase but some of the earlier stuff is. The chicken coop has just been released for separate sale. I can't tell you how much the content's selling for as I've bought most of it and just get the download button rather than the price.
      It's up to you to decide if it's worth what they're asking for it. If you think what you want is still too expensive then put it on your wishlist. Check every Friday morning and if it's on sale it will show on your wishlist. Saves you tracking down each item each week. (New sale item tend to come round on a Thursday but depending on where you are in the world it can be very very late. I've found it's easier to check on a Friday)

      Only after 12 to 18 months. Even then they are expensive.

      No, premium content that comes with worlds has never been sold separately to my knowledge. The Fountain of Youth, Wishing Well, Tree of Prosperity, etc are exclusive to their respective worlds. Venue PC is often sold separately after a period of time, but not world PC.

      I think you're right. I tend to get the venues that go with the worlds and put the tow together in my mind but thinking about it I don't think I've ever seen world PC for sale without the world.
      Sorry kmce I think I may have lied to you :oops:

      I think it's been done a couple of times with venues -- for example the Serenity Retreat which came along with Sunlit Tides Gold, and the child development center that was in Aurora Skies Gold. And the casino in Lucky Palms Gold was available in the store before the world was (and you can get the slot machines and gambling tables in an individual set). Not sure about items that are part of worlds though like the Wood-fired Oven or the Fix-It Car though.

      I know it's been done with venues as that was referenced in my post. :) If the PC is part of a world then it has minimal chance of ever being released independently, while venue PC is more flexible and is often offered separately a few months after its initial release.
