Costume Trunk: Shimmering Coin

Shimmering Coin






The Shimmering Coin is the newest old costume trunk to be revamped, and you can find it here in the cash shop!



We\'ve also retired a number of old costume trunks, I hope you\'ve got all the items you needed!

I agree with @akela9
A heads up would've been nice. I was also saving up for a few of those trunks...sigh. Oh well nothing is forever.

Well, at least I'll save CSC because I'm not Americain and buying the trunks for one or two non-american items isn't worth it. Althought the woman can look like Marianne (national emblem of France) without the eagle and the banners. Also the Liberating mostly white banner can make a french flag. So maybe I'll buy these itemps in user shops.

But in this case, a Phrygian cap would be awesome. That and a baguette wearable.

I feels sad. I was saving for a couple of the trunks that randomly got retired. A heads up might be nice, so if we want something we can buy it before it's gone forever. Did I MISS something??

These look just kind of... randomly thrown together. I appreciate the effort but meh. It's not my thing, I guess.

I guess I'm glad about this revamp, since I have a Shimmering Coin already, and it means more items for me, but I'm having trouble understanding why the female set has been changed so drastically, especially since the male set is fairly faithful to the original. I mean, the torch has been replaced with a sword, the hair has been made curlier and changed from blonde to brunette, the dress shape is completely different (the original looked tiered, and was tied with a knot on the shoulder, while the new one looks like just a top and a skirt, despite being three pieces), and the crown has been switched for some kind of pajama cap or something. The original looked like the Statue of Liberty, and the new one looks like... Well I don't know what she's supposed to look like. I can see you were going for something American, but she's not recognizable as the Statue of Liberty or anything else, and honestly the whole outfit just kind of looks thrown together. You could say that you changed it as part of your attempt to move away from the real world, but that doesn't explain why the male set is still clearly Uncle Sam, and the whole set is still very obviously American (and even revamped on Independence Day, just to drive the point further).
Now, I'm not complaining about the quality of the artwork, or the fact that there's an American costume trunk (the Shimmering Coin was already an item on the site, and this is just a revamp), but revamps are supposed to just be updated versions of old artwork, and the female set really doesn't look like the original at all. If you were worried that having a costume trunk of the Statue of Liberty would offend people because it's too American, I don't understand why you would revamp the Shimmering Coin to begin with.

No Canada day stuff?

Also, I'd like to know how long it takes the staff members to make the 7-12 mil needed to buy each trunk =/

Wow. The only trunks I wanted are retired. I suppose that frees up my next pay for other games. :P Id like a FYI about the retirements next time. Kinda frustrated.

Also, wheres Canada day stuff? Revamp on American box, but no other countries? LAME. I love you guys but Im sorely disappointed right now.

Kinda reminds me a little bit of the "Bioshock Infinite" art style now. Definitely want.

Really guys? Complaining about this being revamped? The item already existed. There are items, even trunks, that are dedicated to other cultures already. In my opinion, many of the items can still be used in non-American ways. Not the flags, of course, but that's only a few items x_x

Plus, totally loving the female waist.

the artist of course did a excellent job.While I love the redraw for both.Still clinging to the old version for the women even though to be honest there is more use with the redraw.The mens I do think has better lines and is more in tune with the art work for the site now

Surprised that this even came up with moving away from real world events/countries.
I should expect something for the recently passed Canada Day and other countries, otherwise the United States has no place on Subeta imo

Looks good. Is the lineart around the actual coin meant to look a bit wonky/not round? I realise some coins aren't completely round, so wasn't sure if it was because of that or if because the artist just made a mistake.

Aww all the retired trunks are ones I wanted :(

Can we have news announcements when trunks are about to retire? I'm sure the site would make more money as people dashed to get them before they're gone.

Looks a bit...randomly thrown together? Can anyone post what the old one looked like?

I actually had this coin as a treasure chest item for my one pet and picked it up when they where dirt cheap ages ago. I had no idea it was 'costume trunk' item. Wow, you learn things everyday. I think I'll keep it in his TC though.

I thought Moldy Opera Trunk got retired as soon as I read that, then I went to see that it was still there. YESS...Please don't retire Moldy Opera Trunk please ):

Aha, now I see, several of the trunks currently in my shop are missing from the cash shop. Glad I got them before they were gone. Maybe a couple new trunks coming to replace them soon?

The trunk already existed, It wouldn't make sense if they just radically changed it.

This item was made before that rule. That doesnt mean they can update it since it's already in the system. thanks for updating it!

This item already existed, we just split it apart. I can totally understand it sending mixed signals, but we didn't add anything new :)

Usually I back you guys, and I adored this one before the revamp (and after, naturally !). But I must admit that I am shocked it was even updated due to you guys wanting to stray away from real life/politics. And this IS very American.
Still going to back you, but, "inb4" "OMFG YOU GUYZ R LAYM N LIARZZZZ"
