Yes, I understand that selling the Gondola to the public with more colors may take away the significant value of the VIP item. But okay, it's still just a "bonus item". It may be odd to see that now as it never had occur. But it's how it all went, so just enjoy whatever there is.

And isn't the new Gondolas worth even more than the bonus VIP item?
[$10,000 Gondola] compared to [$7,500 VIP perks + Bonus Gondola]
