Unexpected rares on sales?

I think unannounced rares on sale is okay, as long as it's for a somewhat extended period of time. 10-24 hours perhaps? That way, people do have some time to earn credits for it, or buy it when they come home after school or work or whatever. 2 mins (or really any duration shorter than about 5 or so hours) is just ridiculous.
But I'm not against all rares being announced beforehand, it's just that if it isn't announced, it should be up for a reasonable amount of time.

At least 1 day to allow people to purchase. Holiday pins use to become pretty rare remember? They were only available for a day. Unexpected sales upset too many people. It would be nice to have a drama free kingdom. A lot of us just want to be with our friends again and build cool rooms but are upset if we think we missed out on something because we weren't given notice. I'd like to be able to play vmk without feeling i have to be at the computer 24/7 so I don't miss any rare giveaway which is what last week ended up being like.
Can people stop obsessing over the rares? At the beginning of VMK there was virtually no rares, over time most item's gained and lost value through them being released and re-released in shops. True rares were only obtained in-park through quests or by purchasing trading cards and despite people thinking these methods can be used again it is completely impractical for a game not actually run by Disney as they do not have the resources. Because of this most things will have to be sold in the store at some point, no matter how many people complain.
People need to stop with their elitist attitude's and get over the fact that with a VMK retro both what is defined as rare and the definition of rare itself will change because everything will have to be much easier to obtain.

Prescheduled and released for at least a day so people have the opportunity to get it and the credits needed if necessary. It created too much drama and I don't think that kind of atmosphere is needed here. Also, I don't think it's really fair for staff to give away items to people freely. Although Amy said she didn't know the people personally, and I believe her, I didn't think this was fair to everyone unless they had a host event that they got the item from. It also gave unneeded anxiety for the traders who didn't have sufficient items to trade for it since there were only limited number of items released in the first week.
So all in all, I think it should be announced and longer than 2 minutes and no giving of items freely by staff to players.
EDIT: maybe not a pre announced release of a rare, maybe just the announcing of an item and let the economy take hold and let the item gain or lose value naturally. I also liked the fact that oVMK addressed that they were not going to have the same rares in the game as VMK as that would be too predictable.

I could be wrong, but I think I remember VMK having a calendar of events that would happen each month, and during October when lots of costumes were released, they would list the dates that certain costumes would be available on. That's something that MMK could use, it would benefit the staff by knowing when exactly to release what items, to avoid chaos like what happened in OVMK, and it would allow users to know when something is coming out.
If a player won't be able to get on during the day that item is released, they could set something up with a friend and have that person get it for them, and they could pay them back later.

They did have a calendar with events and also listed (teased) a number of releases. However, they often released more than what they teased, so most people had to figure out a way to pay for even more than what they were planning.
If a really big item was being released, or retired, they would occasionally announce/tease that...but that wasn't the norm.
