Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
New mini event is underway in our pocket-sized Springfields! The Pin Pals are here with their bowling skills & drinking powers! Of course an all new mini event is a perfect excuse for EA to dust some premium items off and bring them out of the TSTO Vault. (and throw a few other regular ones on discount)
Of course with that limited-time label it can be tempting to buy everything that looks awesome because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add any of the Pin Pals discounted or returning premium items to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this throwbacks to your Springfield…
All rebates and limited-time items leave stores May 23rd..
Item: Rolling Rock
Donut Cost: 80 Donuts, Rebate 30 Donuts, NET 50 Donuts
Earns: 3.5% bonus on all cash and XP
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion on it Now: If you’re into bonus % this one is a great buy with the rebate offered. But if you don’t care, pass. It’s big and bulky & there are better items to spend your sprinkles on.
Building: Alley Mc Balls
Donut Cost: 40 Donuts, Rebate 20 Donuts, NET 20 Donuts
Earns: $350,35xp

My Opinion on it Now: Apu has a task there, not a bad buy for a premium building. So if you’re looking for a building expansion pick this one up.
Building: Gridiron
Donut Cost: 40 Donuts, Rebate 20 Donuts, NET 20 Donuts
Earns: $300,30xp
Previous Post: Gridiron Details
My Opinion on it Now: Meh. Another decent buy (price) but, meh. If you need another building, pick it up….otherwise save your donuts.
Building: Shorty’s
Donut Cost: 60 Donuts, Rebate 30 Donuts, NET 30 Donuts
Earns: $105,11xp/3hrs
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion on it Now: Of all the stand alone buildings offered, buy this one. While it’s always available in the store it’s offered at a disctouned price and will give Helen Lovejoy a 1hr task…finally! Most useful of the buildings offered. (Rolling Rock is still the best deal for bonuns % though)
Building/Character Combo:
Not returning content. Barney is always available in the store once unlocked, he’s just available for now with a discount.
Character: Barney
Building: Barney’s Bowlarama
Donut Cost: 250 Donuts, Rebate 90 Donuts, Net 160 Donuts
Earns: $105,11xp/5hrs
Previous Posts: Should I Buy
Opinion on It Now: Buy him. Great price for Barney, and one of the few chances you’ll have to get him below 200 donuts. Buy him.
