While I like some Avatar pets, there are others I do not really care about and I would rather there not be one every month. I realize many will disagree, but here is my suggestion.
I wonder if there could be the possibility to offer a choice each month for that Reward at 875 points? I would like to suggest there be an option to select either the Avatar Pet of the Month or a Building. I think the building would need to be Tier 6 or higher. This would also help in building up your city instead of having just a pet for collection.
