Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s Easter in Springfield and with the new event in town lots of items from Easter past have made their way back to the store.
As with events past EA has decided to make old items new again, and give players who might have missed out on something a second chance to get it. Of course that second chance doesn’t come with out a price, as many of the returning items are premium.
The Easter characters making a comeback this year are: Shary Bobbins, Hugs Bunny, the Egg Council Guy & Mojo the Helper Monkey.
I know many of you have been asking if these items are worth your Sprinkles. Well before you hit that confirm button…let’s break down the pros and cons and take a look and see if these characters are worth YOUR donuts!
This will run a little different than our typical Should I Buy posts. Basically I’ll give you a quick overview, some pros and cons & my opinion on it now…but I’ll also link you to the previous Should I Buy (if applicable) for more insight…
REMEMBER: ALL of these items will leave the store on 4/7/15 (Which is also when the event is slated to end). So make your purchases before then…or you’ll miss out.
So let’s kick things off with everyone’s favorite nanny, Shary Bobbins..
Character: Shary Bobbins
Donut Price: 120 125 donuts
How You Got Her Before: Won in the Gold Box during Easter 2014
Pros
-Premium Character Earns 50% cash and XP on all jobs
-Comes with a pretty funny questline
-One of the most beloved characters in The Simpsons
Cons
-Expensive. At 120 donuts she’s one of the most expensive premium characters in the game, with out a building.
-Not voiced
Final Thought
Premium
If you missed out her last year during Easter now is your chance to grab her. Honestly, she’s still one of my favorite characters. So for premium players I think this is a must buy.
Freemium
This one is a Freemium toss up. I always say I prefer characters to buildings in the premium world, and Shary is certainly a fun character to add. However, she’s pricey. Honestly, this is one you’ll have to think about. If you’ve been really jealous of your neighbors that have had Shary for the last year, now is your chance to pick her up. But if it’s something you think you can live with out..I’d take a pass on her.

How You Got Him Before: Won in the Gold Box during Easter 2014
Pros
-Premium Character Earns 50% cash and XP on all jobs
-Comes with a pretty funny questline
-Hilarious outdoor task with Homer
Cons
-Expensive. At 100 donuts he’s one of the most expensive premium characters in the game, with out a building.
-Not voiced
-His best task requires Homer.
Final Thought
Premium
I like Hugs. If you have the donuts go for him. He’s got a funny questline and some funny outdoor tasks. However, if I had to choose between Hugs and Shary…I’d pick Shary.
Freemium
For this one I’m going to go with the same advice I gave you for Shary…think about this one. If you’ve been really jealous of your neighbors that have had Hugs for the last year, now is your chance to pick him up. But if it’s something you think you can live with out..I’d take a pass on him.

How You Got Him Before: Won during Easter 2014
Pros
-Fun animation when tapped
Cons
-NPC, no tasks or quests associated with him
Final Thought
Premium or Freemium
Unless you’ve got a thing for Eggs…I’d take a pass on this one. He’s a non-playable character and really offers little value to your Springfield. I’d completely pass on this….

Character: Mojo the Helper Monkey
Donut Price: 65 donuts
How You Got Him Before: Premium Easter 2014.
Pros:
-Another animal to add into your collection
-Shows his “lazy” side when tapped.
Cons:
-No tasks or questline associated with adding Mojo to your town.
-Another Non-Playable Character to get lost in your Springfield.
Final Thought
Premium or Freemium
Although Mojo is from classic Simpsons, this may be one you want to pass on. He’s another NPC & really offers no additional value to your Springfield…other than the nostalgia.
