I recommend opening a ticket for any and all items not in the Crown Store to see if customer support will allow purchase.
If nothing else, it will show up in their customer support metrics. Maybe that will give them reason to make it reappear in the store, or they will craft some method to purchase items that are no longer available.

You see, that's actually the point.
I'll leave it at that and let you decide what that means.

I'm begging for the same ting.
In particular past event items like the ones associated with the "Dragon rise" event.
And about the "removing fomo argument" by permanently breaking a player collection he will inevitably be less invested in the game and spend less.

That's different from this. I don't want this derailed to that argument-which can be shared in the thread pertaining to that particular item. Personally, the event items should remain locked to those who were there.
These crown store items aren't locked to anything other than a random once per year release and hold no special value like a community event reward. They'll gain more by keeping them available at all times. But overall, yes, all fomo does is tick people off. As you say, people will be less invested, such as I stated, I have no interest in playing as much when I'm locked out of something I'd otherwise be spending many hours on.
