Bonjour Beautiful Business-minded Bargain Box Budget Buyers & Barterers,
(Today’s post is sponsored by the letter “B”)
Many times we state we only put up Spoilers when we feel there is a specific need or good reasoning behind it. The main issue is EA can, has, and will change their minds on us and the information when it goes live may be different then initially “teased” to us. That being said, I also know MANY of you just want to get an idea of what Buildings, Characters, and Decorations may be coming up on Cyber Monday. Therefore, I think this is one of those times that we can put some Spoilers up. 🙂
I have compiled a list of those “teased” items, just beware these are indeed Spoilers and due to early release on the info… what you actually see in YOUR game may vary on item and timing. Always double check YOUR game to see what pops up in YOUR game and be sure to come back on Sunday for the most accurate information on how these sales will play out for YOU. 🙂
ON WITH THE SALES!!!
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
GENERAL CONCEPT
First up… the main idea of these sales…
- Similar to the eight Mystery Boxes discussed for Black Friday yesterday, Cyber Monday will consist of a ninth Mystery Box.
- The items in your Mystery Boxes are items you do NOT already have in your game OR they are items that you may be able to get more than one of.
- If you already have all the items from a Mystery Box in your game, and all of the items are unique, you will not see the Cyber Monday Mystery Box.
- You will not see the Cyber Monday Mystery Box concomitantly with the eight Black Friday Mystery Boxes. Rather, once the Black Friday Mystery Boxes have expired from the Store, they will be replaced by the Cyber Monday Mystery Box.
- As with any Mystery Box, it’s a mystery which of the items within you will receive. So if you want one particular item, it may take several cracks at that Mystery Box to get said item.
- This is a list of items in the Mystery Boxes based off of the information at the time of this post. EA can change that information at anytime before the Sales go live in your game.
CYBER MONDAY SALE BOX
As of right now, there will be 1 box available for purchase on Sunday. [NOTE: Yes, I said Sunday. The game coding currently shows Black Friday Boxes on Friday and Saturday, and Cyber Monday Box on Sunday, not Monday. This “may” (“should” in my opinion) change between now and the weekend.] Here is a list of items contained within the Cyber Monday box, listed alphabetically:
Box 9: 65 
(11 items)
Big Digi-Ben, Electric Car Bundle (Blue Electric Car, Yellow Electric Car and Red Electric Car), Elysium Project, Future Proofed Home with LadyBot, Giant Robot, President Lisa, Rocket to Your Doom, Soul Extraction Institute, The Homer, Truckasaurus, Yard Work Simulator with C.H.U.M..
Summary
On Sunday, I will have a post highlighting all the items within the Mystery Box. You will have all day Sunday to purchase this Mystery Box.
If you have none of the above items, it will cost you 715 to unlock all the items within it.
Again, this Post is all speculation at this time. I wouldn’t be surprised if they extended the first eight Mystery Boxes to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and pushed the Cyber Monday Mystery Box to Monday (seeing as how it is called Cyber MONDAY and not Cyber Sunday). They may also add or remove items between now and then. But again, time will tell.
There you have it. Some returning and most sought after items brought back into our games for some great sales and bargains.
Any favorites you have been wanting show up in a Mystery Box? Any item really tickle your fancy? Prefer Cyber Monday over Black Friday? Which boxes are the best offers in your opinion? Other offers you wish you had seen? Let us know. You know we love hearing from you.
Mystery Boxes Galore
Temptation, but I got Marge’s Mum with her Kabob Shack at Discount (now that’s a BARGAIN – no Mystery required!) 😀
You know you’ve been playing this game too long (& spending too much money) when…
… You have half the stuff offered in the biggest sale of the year! Still, a couple things I’ll gamble for, just to play the game.
I’m so excited
I just can’t hide it
I’m about to lose control
And I think,I like it
A couple of hours and it is thanksgiving – I’ll see what appears
Thanks for all the info on Black Friday and Cyber Monday boxes! To do Safi proud, I had been focusing on developing my bonus % for KEM farming and hadn’t been focusing on saving more than 500 sprinkles. I wasn’t expecting so many mystery boxes and now like others have said, am going to focus on a potential Box 7. Going to pick up the saving pace now though and be happy with my 630% bonus (+ Springfield Heights) which brings in about 88k XP per KEM with the Collider activated as well (good for 65-80 sprinkles per day for me)
I wonder if there are non-unique items in the box, can you potentially get multiple of them, e.g. if I buy two boxes, might I get the same non-unique item in both?
Generally, no. It pretty much runs on a “randomizer” that isn’t that random. It is possible…but not likely. The biggest change is the concept that you can’t just “go to the shelf and pick something.” It’s a “mini-version” of the WHell…from days gone by.
Sometimes when people are incessantly complaining about whatever event is going on, I go to Krustyland and visit my broken wheel and laugh at those people.
Lol! Whatever works!
And for the sake of all that is holy in the Pac-12 this Friday night… GO COUGS!!!
Thanks for the info. I already have the items I want from this box so that really helped my decision on which boxes to pick for Black Friday. Have a lovely holiday 🙂
Same here, will leave this box untouched. Good info, now i know i don’t have to bank up donuts for this one, thanks Safi
Hmm not to sure about Cyber Monday. For me, it’s all about Friday, box 7. 😂
The only thing I really want is the mutant corn bobs and I couldn’t find them. The one that laughs while rubing butter on his belly is killer. Makes me laugh every time I find him in friends towns. Thanks for the great article.
Some items i don’t know if they are in my town or not–So much stuff.
I used to think the mystery boxes were a bad deal because of the logic presented below. 715 donuts for 1 item you want.
I’ve since changed my mind. Here’s a few reasons…
1.Cheap decor.
2.Immediate benefit (cash/xp)
3.I may like it later.
4.Increased chance of getting what you want in future boxes, since the item is now in town.
5.Best donut deals available.
If you like all the items, its the exact cost as they say. Choose to like it and be happy. 😉
Used to hate it, now I’m thrilled. Love them.
elysium project cos of world of warcraft classic announcement
So I went and looked
Originally the cars the bundle were 120 donuts for a 5.25% bonus. Now 65 for same bonus yes please!
Looks like the only thing can I can geosis the electric car ….I need more vehicles so habI’llve to lolk up the SiB for those.
Well, I’m glad that’s one less box I’ll be opening. Saving my donuts for Itchy and Scratchy robot and Christmas. Just hope I get what I want out of the Character box on Friday.
Honestly I would always like to know the spoilers, it’s so difficult to know what to spend your donuts on when you don’t know what’s to come. I’ve made bad decisions before…

I have one question – since today, my game started behaving strange. Every few seconds it freezes for a moment, making it impossible to roll in town hall finding person (it just chooses one during the swipes). It was happening when monorail ran around the town, but monorail has been disabled since (removed tracks from the station). Tried sending everyone on 24 hours mission to get rid of their movement, but the game still behaves like this. Reinstalled the game, same happens again. Futurama behaves normally. Any solution that I should try? I suppose better tablet (I have Lenovo A3500-FL tablet, Android 4.4.2. Maybe 1GB RAM is the problem? But has not been since today.
Well, later in the evening small update dropped (about 6 MB) and everything runs OK now. Not sure what it was.
What are the itchy and scratchy robots in he robot section
Truckasuarus!!!!!!
Welp. This game has officially almost run its course for me. I’m glad everyone who doesn’t have certain decorations, buildings, or characters get a change on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but at this point, I just keep crossing my fingers that the actual events will have cool stuff attached to it. If Christmas is anything like Halloween, I’m probably officially no longer a tapper.
Nothing of interest in this box for me. Already have Pres Lisa. The Black Friday boxes are much better.
I would pay real money for a auto night mode, and being able to change the seasons like the skin on a building.
That would be so cool!
Let’s talk about the light angle and shadowing, then… in my Springfield the sun resides in at least two positions.
I did play a game which had daylight / nighttime mode, it was great to see the street lamps 💡😊
I just want Christmas!!! Living in Phoenix, tsto is typically the only snow I see in the winter. Let it snow!!!
Here’s the way I see all of these mystery boxes using this Cyber Monday box (and the donut cost) as an example.
I want the Big Digi-ben which is available for 65 donuts. However, I’m not guaranteed Big Digi-ben. I may get the electric car bundle (which I don’t want or care about and wouldn’t spend the donuts for) or Rocket to your Doom (Same).
Now lets say I (luckily) get Big Digiben on try 3. I actually spend 65×3 on Big Digi-ben which equates to 195 donuts. So, technically, I spent 195 donuts on Big Digi-ben. And that’s assuming I get it at “3” and not “11” in which it would cost me 715 donuts to get the 1 item I want.
Now look at probabilities. Safi could do a much better job at this than me, but to make things easy lets say I have “1” of the unique items from this box so there are 10 available to me. I have a 1/10th chance of landing Big Digi-ben. That’s very, very low. So then we escalate after I don’t get it on the first round. Now I have a 1/5th chance, which is still very low. Ok, I miss on that one. Now I have a 3/10th chance. (Am I doing this right Safi?) My point is the item or two you want is going to end up costing you A TON in the items you DON’T want.
I just don’t see myself partaking in this years event. I love the small mini-boxes during the events, but for Black Friday, for all the items available, for all the mystery boxes offered, I’d sincerely be wasting more donuts than being patient and hoping the items just pop back up again solo style in a year or so…
This guy gets it.
👍 That’s the way I see this, too.
Let’s take the Halloween Mystery box. I wanted the building/character combos (Maude, Blinky Monster, Space Mutant). This was 3 out of 11 items (which I saw). 65D a box, considering 150D a normal price, the 2 tries per wanted item is still a bargain. Lucky I was getting the three after 5 boxes. 6 boxes would be acceptable, more a waste.
Now some of the boxes have characters I’m interested in but the odds are too bad.
Box 7 on the other side… I want them all!
You have the concept right if the maths is a bit wonky (it would go 1/10, 1/9, 1/8 etc rather than 1/10, 2/10, 3/10) – if you only want a low proportion of the items in the box it could work out expensive.
If the non-unique items stay after you win, those odds could be as bad as 1/10, 1/10, 1/10 if you are unlucky!
See I would have outright bought Truckasaurus for a decent deal but I’m not waiding through all that other junk to get it so they get 0 donuts from me.
Anyone else getting youtube ads on the addicts website that auto scroll you to the top on the page you can’t scroll past? Just started today. Really annoying
http://tstoaddicts.com/2017/11/17/about-the-ads/
Not interested in any of these items aside from the ones I already have.
Rocket to your Doom is in two of the boxes?
Ladybot, Pres. Lisa and CHUM are characters worth a try. Since I have already two of them I’ll focus on box 📦 7. Maybe next year 😎
I was really hoping to get the teleporters this year. Oh well, maybe next year.
Wait and see… not in a box much bode well for you 😉
Teleporters will cost 50 donuts , save your donuts 🙂
I have all of the teleporters they released, but I’d be thrilled if they released a new pair!! (Although, my new tablet scrolls MUCH faster than my old one did, so it’s a little less important to me than it would have been a month ago.)
Do you have two or four?
Four. Plus the upscale Moe’s (forgot what it’s called, offhand) and bowling stores quasi-teleporters. (I also used to be able to jump to the airport quickly via Norbert’s plane, until they fixed that problem with all of the flying things.)
I forgot all about that. Moe’s Brewing Co. I don’t have any of the other teleporters. I’ve tried a few times on the Retail box to get the bowling stores but no luck yet. I hope they have some more too.
WOOP WOOP!!!
I am really looking forward to these sales! 😎
