Should I Spend Donuts On the Spruce Caboose?

Advertisements

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Here were are  a few weeks in since the Monorail arrived in Springfield. Act 2 is now in full effect and with a few new Premium Items.  But what’s a TSTO Event these days without the return of items from TSTO past?!  Recently we saw the limited-time addition of the Spruce Caboose to our stores.   Now I know you may be trying to decide if this is worth YOUR donuts, but don’t sweat it!  We’re here to tell you what’s worth the donuts and what you might want to hold off on.

Wondering if you should add the Spruce Caboose? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this restaurant choo-choo to your game!

Decoration: Spruce Caboose
Donut Price:
85 Donuts
Earns:
$300, 30xp/12hrs
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Vanity +600
Size: 10×10

The Spruce Caboose Leaves Stores on September 3rd…

Pros:
-Returning item from TSTO Past (Christmas 2014) that if you missed you can now pickup
-Earns a decent amount of income
-One way to get a “train” in your Springfield

Cons:
-No character interaction
-No questline associated with it (there was one with it initially when it was released at Christmas)
-Was previously free
-Pricey for what it is/does

Final Thought:
Premium Take:
Personally, this is a pass for me (even though I already own it from Christmas).  It’s just not worth the 85 donuts for what it is/does.  The ONLY way I could see a premium player buying this is if you’re a new player (ie didn’t play in 2014) and missed this at Christmas and you’re a completest OR if you’re crazy about trains.  Otherwise stay away from this one and save your donuts for something better.

Freemium Take:
Pass.  A complete freemium pass.  Don’t waste your hard earned donuts on this one…

Of course in the end it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would/wouldn’t do, and personally (if I didn’t already own it (for free)) this is something I would pass on. However, this IS a limited-time item.  So if you’re thinking about getting it make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games (September 3rd)

 

What are your thoughts on the Spruce Caboose?  Did you make the purchase?  Is it something you already own from Christmas 2014?  Where have you placed it in your Springfield?  (mine’s down by the water with a few other restaurants and hotels)  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
