Prototypes!

As our long time players know, seasonal and event rare items have year tags on them ('11, '12, '13, etc.). Meaning they can return or disappear at any time and be replaced with a newer version. Tags help rare collectors to prove when they got that item and to compare changes in each version. So what happens when a regular appearing item gets replaced?

This is where Prototypes come in, when we decide to update artwork and add CC versions to shops the old ones will be renamed as 'Prototype' and be labelled RARE! Case in point is this Freedom day shop we updated the Canuck Crusadar art and made a CC versions (along with gun mode corrections) to the Bottle Rocket Launcher while leaving the originals (bugs and all) intact (this will only affect new changed items only).
