Spotlight Item

From 5 June 2013, TinyCo has introduced an irregular daily Spotlight Item. That day's particular item is advertised on opening the game and is available for purchase for 24 hours. It is a premium asset (i.e. purchased for  but in some cases (see 26 June) for actual money).

Until 25 June 2013, the price of each day's item was not discounted but TinyCo has since offered items at a discount.

One spotlight item, the Sky Dragon (see 26 June), was offered only for cash (see here). Perhaps other extinct dinos will also be offered for cash in the future.

The Phoenix Roost (see 13 June & 9 July) was the first spotlight item to be featured twice - the second time at a discounted price.

Trivia

 * Some items remain spotlighted for more than a day (e.g. Giant Turtle's spotlight lasted until June 22nd)
 * The Majestic Mountain habitat was the first spotlight item to be featured at a discounted rate.
 * The Sky Dragon (26th June 2013) was the first Spotlight Item to be released as an IAP instead of a crystal purchase. Furthermore, the discounted price of $19.99 was not reflected on the purchase screen on all devices - the $29.99 crossed-out price was replaced by $29.99 instead of $19.99 on many devices.
 * The Phoenix Roost (see 13 June & 9 July) was the first spotlight item to be featured twice - the second time at a discounted price.
