Posted on August 17, 2013 by Alissa | 7 comments

Wondering if you should spend donuts on Kearney? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding Kearney to your Springfield.

Character: Kearney
Donut Price: 60 donuts
Pros:
-He’s one of the more inexpensive premium characters

Final Thought: Is a nice addition to your town, at a reasonable price. He comes with a lot of jobs in both Springfield and Krustyland.

Should I Spend Donuts on Bumblebee Man?

Wondering if you should spend donuts on Bumblebee Man? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding Bumblebee Man to your Springfield.

Character: Bumblebee Man
Donut Price: 60 donuts
Pros:
-He’s one of the more inexpensive premium characters
-His quests are in Spanish
-Earns 50% more than regular characters on all tasks
-Comes with a quest, and a secret that you can only uncover by playing his quest out.
Cons:
-Has few long outdoor tasks, and requires a lot of other buildings that you may not have to complete the longer indoor tasks (Library, Town Hall, Channel 6)
-No interaction with other characters
Final Thought: As a whole I’d say go for it, but not until you’ve progressed past level 20 in the game. Then most of the buildings will be unlocked for you to build.

Wondering if you should spend donuts on Handsome Pete? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding Handsome Pete to your Squidport.

Character: Handsome Pete

Pros:
-Always walk around outside
-Variety for your Squidport.
