Collectors: Daylight Savings loot available

Hey collectors, the collector's edition Daylight Savings is back for one last round. There are 5,000 available for 35 reward points, which can be found via a banner on your Mafia Wars home page or the Marketplace.

As Nancy posted earlier, we now know we can expect these 'collector's edition' items every Friday.

Collector's Day

The banner is up... the item is loaded... everyone is waiting at the door? Maybe...

The Official Mafia Wars Blog has announced that this will be a weekly event...

So now we all know... I would love to know the back story on the name of this helmet... but that is a different issue... I'm more of a 4x4 mafia chick than a 2 wheel warrior :-)!

This and Next Week

The This & Next Week post is out from the Mafia Wars blog. As usual, I'm more interested in what's coming next week than what's already happened. After last week, I get the feeling that the list of items coming next week is rather skimpier than what's actually on their scheduled. 

• New Mission Event: Ties That Bind
You’re taking on a newly-elected state governor in Brazil. Keep your head down and power through a major smear campaign to earn a Glamour Helmet (62/150

The Ties That Bind mission event was originally listed last week, I think, but has been rescheduled for this week. Likely this is simply due to the fact that the other mission event won't end until Monday.

• Family Chat 2.0
New features are on the way, including in-chat family member player updates and popping up the chat window.

Now this is something that's long overdue, and I'm glad to finally see it's coming very soon. Several of the people who beta tested the Family module have suggested some improvements to the Family Chat. I wonder if they mean "pop out" the chat window.  

• Collector's Edition Item: Daylight Savings
Never lose another hour of your life again.

So there's "a" limited edition item coming this week, for the collectors.
