ANY previously released avatars? Including the rare Serra Angel alt art worth 35 tix?

You just destroyed the market for the rare avatars. Not that I'm complaining; I didn't invest in them, and I'm glad to be able to get some cheap. But some people are upset.

Could we get some more info on the Holiday Celebration? There is nothing under what's happening. I also have a lot of ACR boosters and want to know how I will be able to use them (assuming Nix Tix, but some bigger tournies would be nice too).

Also, can we still have ACR on the Nix Tix rotation whenever the list for Next Year comes out. That way there will still be times to use then periodically.

danger, I don't think I can return boosters I won or got from bots (which is how I got my ACR) for other boosters or people would be doing it all the time.

Thanks
