Cool.

This is great info, dyar.
Note that the delay between a set getting posted and getting delivered sometimes throws things off. While there were 32* tokens worth of stuff posted in May, only 29 tokens worth were delivered. I realize you don't have access to that info; I just didn't want anyone to get upset that we'd released more than what a VIP could actually collect.
(*I actually count 30 including chromium -- SlideShowPro was posted and delivered in April)

I just go by the delivery date rather than the posting date because I know things are posted in advance, sometimes several days. Chromium will thus be a June Delivery. I show SlideShowPro being delivered on May 1st. Here's the deliveries of May and their dates:
SlideShowPro 05/01/07
Shanghai Psych-out 05/02/07
Tower Grove Studio 05/07/07
Highrise 05/08/07
Cupertino Collect Call 05/09/07
Amsterdam Artic 05/10/07
Ashbury Maternity 05/13/07
Bangor Buzz 05/15/07
Acapulco System 05/16/07
Pet Shop 05/21/07

In the interests of lists, can we have a top 5 vote?
I will pitch:
1. Sushinobi
2. A. Artic
The bottom 5 vote would be nice:
1. Tie: Tokyo M.S. and Kyoto Jigsaw
3. Cuper. Collect Call
4. Shanghai Psych Out
5. Bangor Buzz.

Yes. this is what I "Gambled" on when I went VIP. Nice job, guys!

The free deliveries from chefs went up along with the number of sets released. In May I got sushinobi, bangor buzz, and cupertino collect call 'fresh' and token-free.
KatieK on Jun 01, 2007
Yeah, I thought the number of token-free deliveries had gone up. I think I got at least 2 sets. That should explain my extra tokens.
iconmaster on Jun 01, 2007
Number of token-free deliveries will scale with the number of sets overall, right.
dyar on Jun 01, 2007
^ I certainly hope so, it's the only we'll be able to afford the goodness that a fresh delivery brings.
