My recollection from when it was first announced on the blog was that there were already two other event buttons and we assumed when one event finished we would see this offer, but that was not the case - people finishing the Birthday Event fast did not get this offer. We figured that the developers realised the mistake and simply left this to be offered again later - ie. this weekend - as their "initial" offering.

Many other buildings have also been offered in batch groupings as a second-chance offering for considerably more than the orifinal offer. Due to whatever reason, occasionally some of these structures are "repeat" offered before the "initial" offer.

eg: The Christmas Square was offered on iPad first, and then it was included in the Christmas pack batch offer second-chance to get your Christmas buildings at a much dearer price. And then later on came the "initial" offering.

Also, with the semi-regular repeats of the Nano Generator. new players often get second-chance dearer offers of the Nano before the first regular offer.

So, unless we start tracking and documenting every single repeat-offer of every structure in every repeat-pack, etc, (and none of the other "sale" buildings have been documented that way) I would propose we stick with the established standard of just documenting the "initial" offering - whether it is the first possibility of getting it or not. If desired, easier to just add a Note: about the first possibility in a repeat-sale happening before the intitial offer, easier than documenting all the repeat-offer sales.

As it is was was a non-standard mix of data - the "initial" offering price with the date of the batch sale, now it is the date of the blog-announcement, which has zero correspondence to the actual intitial release date.
