I have only just noticed that there are no pots this year. This is such a shame as was the most fun part of the calendar- will it be brought back for next year anyone know? I’m not too bothered about the lighting in my garden and won’t go out of my way to collect the critter.
I think others must have posted about this but cannot find any at the moment .

Thank you, much appreciated!

Mike did also include this info in the News pot about this years calendar:

And finally, If you're missing the pots this year, don't worry - something special for Potoholics is arriving early in the new year :)

Yes thank you - I have just seen the market place too - I didn’t know about this - anyone able to put me to a link as to how to do it please ? Sorry to be so behind !

This is the News Post info for Marketplace:

New: Collectable Pots Marketplace!
Thursday September 1st
Many beautiful pots in Fairyland have been "limited editions", which are no longer available to earn in the game. So the great news today is that a new Marketplace feature has arrived, where you can sell your unwanted Limited Edition Pots and buy them from other players!

You can find a link to the marketplace from your Storage area, which also features a new "Collectable" tab where you can see which of your current pots are 'Collectable' and can therefore be sold if you wish.

All past 'Limited Edition' pots are now considered Collectable, and will not be available to earn in-game again. Limited edition pots which can currently be earned in-game (currently the Summer 'Vegetable Pots' which are earned by growing Sunflowers) will only become 'Collectable' about a month after they are no longer earnable in-game.

Pots are bought and sold using Gold Dust, therefore all prices shown in the Marketplace are in Gold Dust (NOT Gold!) While this does mean that Pots can only be bought from the Marketplace with purchased Gold (not with Gold collected for free in-game), anyone may sell pots to earn Gold :)

In addition, the maximum number of storage shelves you can buy has now been increased to 250 (which can hold 1750 pots!!), so you should have plenty of space for your collectables.

Final Tip: We recommend not to immediately sell all your Limited Edition pots to get Gold, because it might be useful to have some of these pots in the future, and who knows... some of them may become quite valuable ;)

Thank you Amanda x
