It isn't fair at all to announce in an update that more items will be coming in a specified time, then they aren't released. It's equally unfair that there is absolutely no communication from the powers that be to give the players an explanation for the delay, or a new specified date. Credibility in any business goes a long way. Phrases such as "later this week", "next week", "in the next release", and "soon" seem to all mean one same thing : "Whenever we're ready". I have a Christmas farm not completed, because it was stated that new items were coming out, supposedly last week. I dare not even look at the contest theme for December, because if it is Christmas, we either have to wait indefinitely for the rest of the items, before entering, or we enter using the old decorations and thus are at a disadvantage in variety that would be offered to those who are patient enough to wait.
This happens every year, the developers wait and wait and wait, before the Christmas things are released. Bah Humbug
