I would like to suggest that the pods should be brought back in the next event, because of the influx of new and returning players. I think it will be a good cause and attraction for many willing to spend and have fun. instead of buying off other players who over charge.
GH has not really been listing much stuff this year. It is a shame that they dont rerun those sprite pods, but they occasionally rerun some basic reskins. Check on the Kozma discord for ppl selling stuff, and to also see how often they list those pods.
