Revisiting the "Are the Googly-Eyed Cactus and Spooky Swamp''' Prices Reversed?" Question'''

Well I finally checked the new Price file for myself and see these two prices do indeed agree with the data above. However, I am going to double down on the hypothesis that somehow TV has accidentally swapped the two prices by mistake. That the originally intended prices were:

Cactus = 59 crystals and Spooky Swamp = 129 crystals.

This hypothesis is supported by three arguments.

1. The two prices appear one after the other in the Prices file. An adjacency error thereby providing a plausable mechanism behind the price accident.

2. The swamp has a capacity of 2500. All similar habitats are quite pricy - well over 100 crystals.

3. The swamp is in Tier 3 of the Dino Crates, while the Cactus is the last entry in the lowest Tier 4. This suggests it was intended that the Price of Swamp > Price of cactus. (and that the cactus was intended as the lowest value consolation prize)

Of course we have no way to test this, unless one of these items later is offered in the shop.

Either way, the Spooky Swamp (with its capacity of 2500) is an incredible prize if you can get it for ony 49 crystals. The largest tree trunk in this habitat is also the home of four pairs of scary glowing eyes - a definite design plus! Just in time for Halloween.
