Monthly Collectible is a Gaia Online Gaia Item.

Overview[]

A Monthly Collectible (MC) is a special Premium Item that is released once a month. The item is generally of higher quality than regular shop items, both in versatility and art quality.

They are only obtainable by buying a "Monthly Collectible Letter" from the La Victoire for a fee of $2.50(USD) each, the letter always occupies the first slot of the shops inventory. Another method to obtain letter is by buying them from another Gaian via trades or the Marketplace.

The Monthly Collectibles have been released every month since 2003 June, and for every 1 letter there contains a choice of 2 items, at times there are 3 for special occasions. The only difference is the very first letter which contained only 1 item, the Angelic Halo. When a letters month has passed, it will never be re-released, then the only way to obtain an older Monthly Collectible item is to purchase it from another Gaian via trades or the Marketplace. Other methods are to win an item from the "Gaia Wheel" at Gaia Online booths at conventions or if Gaia Staff holds a contests wherein the prize is a Letter of a particular month, which is quite rare.


After 14 years, the concept of Monthly Collectibles were retired in 2017 of March; it was instead replaced with the creation of Gaia's Angel Subscription.[1][2]
