Countdown to content removal (chairs)

A removal of 'Winter holiday content' took place on Tuesday 7th January 2014. Only Christmas content was removed. More information can be found here.

Let me take you back to 3rd January 2013...

A pop-up appears to every player on every TeamLava game, and it informs that all holiday content from 2012 will be removed on the 7th. Chaos ensues as players frantically try to decide what is and what isn't 'holiday content', before invading Design mode to buy up items expected to go and desperately trying to master seasonal recipes.

It was a bit of a shambles in all honesty. Only four days notice of a whole raft of unnamed items and dishes being removed with no promise of any returning at any time in the future. So as that time approaches again, here's a guide as to what you should do.

The definition of 'holiday content' is a dodgy one - Valentine's Day, Halloween and Christmas clearly all fall into this bracket, but what about Summer, Autumn, Carnival and Cruise themed items? So for the sake of taking no chances I'm going to class anything added this year as at risk.

Every week I'm posting a list of items released in 2013 for a certain category, comprising of the nine tabs of Design mode and the recipes. Today the spotlight is on chairs...

(*) These chairs were a 2011 or 2012 removal, but have been re-added in 2013. They are expected to be removed again this year. The Christmas chairs among these are expected to be removed shortly.

(**) These chairs were unlockable through goals, and consequently may already not be available to some players.

(***) These chairs are 'in season' so may be removed in the near future in a removal of the same format as the Halloween content removal.

That's a total of 51 chairs added in 2013 which are still available. That's a heck of a big game of musical chairs! Any of these could be removed in the New Year, so buy up any you want now in case they vanish.

Note that 6 further chairs were removed on Friday 15th November 2013 as part of the Halloween content removal, while another was removed on Tuesday 26th November 2013 - they are not listed here.
