Note: Gil is back in town today, I’ll cover his offer tomorrow…
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Time to grab toast as we travel back…wayyyy back…in time with Homer in the all new TTT (Time Travel Toaster) event! Homer’s taken us back to the Egyptian Era and we’ve got Pharaohs, Pyramids & of course other Egyptian items in our Springfield just tempting us with those sprinkles!
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 the Pagan Bonfire, Ruin Bundle, Mayan Marge or Mayan Calendar (and God) to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding these throwbacks to your town…
Item: Pagan Bonfire
Cost: 170 Donuts with a 50 Donut rebate, NET 120 Donuts
Earns: 4.50% bonus on all cash and XP and $135, 15xp/4hrs
What Does It Do?: Earns income and has a task for The Simpsons Family
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: Meh. It’s still pretty expensive (even with the rebate). While it’s a nice bonus % there are far better items in the game for bonus %. It is nice that it comes with a task and gives a cash payout as well..so if you like it grab it. Otherwise pass.

Item: Ruin Bundle
Cost: 90 Donuts
Contains: Catacombs, 2 Ruins and 20 Braziers
Earns: Catacombs earn $200, 22xp/12hrs, other items earn nothing
What Does It Do?: Decorations, so not a whole lot. Task at the Catacombs for Bart.
Previous Posts: Catacombs Braziers
My Opinion On It Now: Eh, to me this is one to pass on.
Leaves Stores June 26th
Item: Mayan Calendar and God
Cost: 70 Donuts
Earns: Nada
What Does It Do?: Nothing. Mayan God is an NPC. If you have Mayan Marge there’s a task at the Calendar there for her, otherwise nothing.
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: Pass.
Leaves Stores June 24th
Character: Mayan Marge
Cost: 90 Donuts
Earns: Premium character, earns 50% more on all tasks
What Does It Do?: Playable character, however you’ll need the Mayan Calendar to unlock all of her tasks.
Potential Questline Issues: You’ll need Mayan Homer (who is NOT offered) to complete her questline. This causes a big problem for many of you.
Previous Post: Should I Buy
My Opinion On It Now: Pass. Of all Marge’s costumes this is my least favorite. That coupled with the questline issues, pass.

And that wraps up the latest returning item Should I Buy Post…
What are your thoughts on this batch of returning premium items? Will you be spending donuts to bring any of them to your Springfield? Have you already? Do you already own any of them? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
I’m another player feeling cheated because of the whole Mayan thing. Bought Marge’s skin because I liked it, found out I needed the calendar, bought it too after some cursing and ranting, and now I still can’t use Marge! RIP, 160 Donuts! And I’m a freemium player! So angry.
Save your Donuts / Bonuts!
EA isn’t offering anything special … 😮
This purchase has ticked me off the most EA!!!! I feel burned and am passing on a lot of purchases now. I bought Marge because I liked her costume. Looked at her tasks & was miffed the calendar was required for the visual task. Went ahead & bought the calendar even though I didn’t want it, then found out even with the calendar it still required a quest. Why offer Mayan Marge & NOT offer Homer, who is required??? EA blew it on this one!!!
I was waiting for the mayan stuff for a long time. 300 donuts for the bundle was too much last time. Unfortunately Mayan Homer isn’t purchasable but I bought Mayan Marge and the calendar very soon and before this post was live… Now I’am very annoyed that I can’t start the questline and especially that I cannot send her to the visual tasks.
I can see ppl jumping on the Mayan Calendar+God deal without knowing the item has no payout bonus and the character is npc.
I’m very pleased to have the Mayan God in my game. Yes I know he does nothing but I love npcs and he IS the original npc from waaaay back when 🙂
Grabbed the pagan bonfire. I like rebates!!!
I was getting sick of Marge’s other two premium costumes so I bought the Mayan Marge one. Little did I know that I couldn’t use it because I don’t have Mayan Homer. EA, you owe me donuts for this.
I completely agree, I want my donuts back for Mayan Marge & the Mayan Calendar! Or they should give everyone who bought them Mayan Homer for free!!! Bad bad move EA!!!
I’d kind of been waiting to get these Mayan skins since I couldn’t afford them initially. I was wondering what the heck was going on when I couldn’t access all Marge’s tasks, so thanks for this info. Seems like they should at least offer Homer’s skin now. 🙄
Yep EA really screwed up on this one!!! I want a refund, they can have Mayan Marge and the Mayan calendar back!!!
EA came make it up to you and all other victims, by giving Mayan Homer for free.
They did end up giving him to me 😁 I’m a happy camper watching Homer & Marge doing tasks at the calendar 😁😁😁
That’s a very funny task indeed 😂
I love the tasks associated with it 😂
It would seem to me releasing the Mayan Homer, Marge, and the God together would be a no brainer. It would be even better if they had a bundle with all 3 of them together. At any rate I am going to wait until I can get all 3 at the same time preferably at some kind of discount.
They did have a bundle with them all together the first time Mayan Marge was out. Don’t know why they decided to release everything separately
EA dont play the game, they probably dont know how the game works….
I know it’s a bit of a waste, but I’ve been wanting the Mayan God for a long time. I’m a bit of a THOH completionist, so I just did some KEM farming to pay for him 🙂
I would get Mayan Marge…knowing she too isn’t really worth it…but without Mayan Homer, she’s a hard pass.
If you have Crazy Iguana Lady, some of her non-visual tasks shift to the Calendar when you buy it.
I already had Mayem Homer and the Mayem God, so buying Mayan Marge was the rifght decision for me.
As long EA doesn’t deliver Mayan Homer, buying the god and Marge is not advisable!
Too bad that the Mayan God is an NPC. I missed the Mayan event. Thanks for the info. Would have been a waste at 70 Doh’nuts
I picked up the pagan bonfire thinking it was a bundle. Nope. Oh well it feeds EA.
The whole Simpson family (including Maggie) can dance around it…a 4 hr task…their costumes go great with the prehistoric stuff. I had it in front of Moe’s cave (as the entertainment) until my area got too crowded.
Are the costumes part of the task, or do you have to have Mayan skins for the characters?
You don’t need the Mayan skins for that task.
Part of the task as far as I can tell. The switch into them at the beginning of the task.
Thanks to you and Rudolph for the info! Follow-up question… How long is that task?
It’s on the original SIB post that’s linked in this post, and again here:

Replace the antler earning with the rate for 4hr tasks Premium…
Thanks, and sorry for not thinking to click on the link. I blame it on not having had any caffeine yet when I posted that comment! 😉
Having one half of a pair of premium characters only is insane, especially if you need both for the questline.
I know! Wth is EA thinking? Not being able to complete her quest line would infuriate me.
And it is a very funny quest 😂🤣
It is infuriating me! EA needs to correct this or they’re going to be losing sales!!!
