Bein a girl I like to make things pretty and organized haha! But no sooner you start adding houses ect you've run out of space and trying to collect your points can sometimes be fiddley as bits and pieces are hidden behind the shrines and what not..... I want bigger islands!

YES PLEASE! Seriously this game is becoming a joke. I have no idea how they expect us to keep playing without allowing us to expand. Of course they add new exclusive houses each and every week at the cost of Gems (aka REAL MONEY)!!! But where do they expect us to put those houses?!... Up our @$$?! As you can tell I am very frustrated. I love this game and I have spent tons of money on it, but the fact that the players are constantly ignored (same goes for all the Skylanders mobile games) is starting to really turn me off to them.

I thought they were too small after playing the game for two months. There is just so much stuff that at some point it's just shoving stuff together as tightly as possible. I gave up having it look nice a while ago. It would be nice to have some swap islands or something.

There's a much simpler solution to this issue. Rather than more islands, the devs could just make the inventory cheaper. At level 40, I've got about four islands full of buildings that provide experience and nothing else. I'd be happy to put all those buildings into storage, but the inventory costs are... prohibitive. Players should pay once for each inventory slot, and then be able to place an unlimited number of identical items in the same slot. Instead, we're forced to pay for EVERY building or decoration in storage.

There has NEVER been a sale on inventory slots to my knowledge.

It's not just cost-prohibitive, it's quantity prohibitive. When I last re-organized my islands, I sold a bunch of buildings because 50 spaces in inventory weren't enough since they count every building. If they counted every unique building, it'd be much better.

Or how about a companion that "shrinks" stuff. I just bought trigger snappy's house on the last sale and it only takes up one square and it's a touch hard to tap but if I had the op to have all my 2x2 go to one square Id have plenty of space. Although if the level cap raises the decoration XP bonus shrinks along with it. And as a final thought how about advisor Orville stop taking up 3x4 grid spaces without the option to drop him in the inventory. Talk about useless 250 coins when you start the game 250 coins once I'm lvl 40, uhh how bout a raise. Throw that cheapskate on the ground next to the circle where the skylanders summon to and get rid of the top circle. At least I'd have a 2x3 spot for a fishery. You can't even flip that ding dong. Just sayin.

I'm at 40 and don't really have the issue. I've sold all my houses except the stone slab, B&B, boat house and wood stack. I have 32k mabu and it is enough for now. What is the point of keeping an outpost?

Agree on that. Also, Tessa is effectively a companion that "shrinks" your houses. You can free up 25% of your space allocated to houses and maintain the same mabu account. It would really have been nice if she increased the mabu count by 50% or even 100%, but she is what she is...

Still, I would love another island or two. Once they reach the level cap, my islands will again become jammed up.

This would be really nice, they could even sell extra islands for gems if they needed money, I recently got a castle with my saved up gems (haven't bought gems ever) because of the sale and it's AWESOME I have so much more room now b/c I don't have to have a ton of those watch towers.

My houses are down to only BB, a single castle, wood stacks, a few acorns and a single boat house. They all fit on a single island and add up to 73k mabu...which is 25k extra.

My conclusion is that gold "expands" your islands when you purchase the high end houses. They are expensive but they save you space.

My other conclusion is that wish stones also expand your islands since I dumped extra stones into the well to get extra BBs. Sometimes I am lucky, sometimes I am not. I've managed to win 20.

The odds of winning B&Bs have gone down precipitously for me. Where I used to get one per 100 or so stones, I now get one per 500 or so stones if I'm lucky.

I do agree they have tweaked rates in the well.

Believe it or not, my BBs are now my weakest link. The wood stack house eclipses them eventually.

I just bought my first wood stack house. It takes a while for me to earn enough gold to buy those things, but they're the first house I can think of where the cost per mabu is cheaper than the next most expensive house. I'm really struggling with whether I should buy a boat house to clear the associated quest or just keep saving up for the next wood stack...

Expansion please!! 2 extra islands would be very very very nice.

Then you have the possibility to rearrange everything and leave some free space for totems, sheeps, trolls etc etc to appear. And not to forget, build some roads, plant some trees to make it look like a real village, haha. Now I simply haven't got any room, and have only one choice but to jam everything together. All the roads and trees I bought in the past are already long sold. I also started replacing cheap houses for the more expansive ones to free up space. On top of that I bought more storage room (up to 20 slots), and found out very quickly that these slots were filled in no time.

so, yes, more islands please!!!!
